FedWatch 153 - Recession Avoided or Imminent
Hosts: Ansel Lindner and Christian Keroles
Watch this Episode: YouTube || Rumble
Fed Watch is a macro podcast with a clear contrarian thesis of a deflationary breakdown of the financial system leading to bitcoin adoption. We question narratives and schools of thought, and try to form new understanding. Each episode we use current events to question mainstream and bitcoin narratives across the globe, with an emphasis on central banks and currencies.

In this episode, we discuss breaking news about Ripple vs SEC, get CK’s bitcoin ETF thoughts, talk US CPI and forecasts for CPI going forward, bitcoin price, the dollar, and the new Lummis “crypto” bill proposed in the US Senate.
There was a summary judgment in the Ripple vs SEC case right before we went LIVE. There is mass confusion out there right now, about what this ruling actually means. We read some legal opinions and discuss.
The big story for this episode is US CPI crashing to under 3%. We cover the charts and talk about being right about “transitory” all along. Now that CPI has returned to “normal” the next discussion you’ll hear from macro pundits is about recession. We discuss seasonal timing, and what to expect for recession, CPI, and from the Federal Reserve going forward.
Next up, we cover the dollar which has had an amazingly weak last few days, crashing to new cycle lows. What exactly is happening with the dollar is not clear yet. There is trouble with the Chinese yuan, so perhaps this is manipulation by the Chinese. We’ll have to wait and see how this goes, but I personally do not expect the dollar weakness dramatically. It should rally soon enough.
Lastly, we discuss the new “crypto” bill introduced in the US Senate by Senator Lummis. It has a lot of language around “crypto assets” and “crypto asset intermediaries” that seems to try and let all the scammers off the hook. We conclude that this bill will likely not make it very far.

In this episode, Nolan and I discuss all the big news items of the week having to do with central banks and bitcoin. Larry Fink of Blackrock appeared on Fox Business and called Bitcoin and "international asset", said it is "digitizing gold", and call it "hope". He all the major Bitcoin narratives other than getting rid of trusted third-parties.
It was kind of a sales pitch for his upcoming Bitcoin ETF, and seemed as if he is trying to box the SEC into a corner where they have to approve it.
Nolan and I gave a status report of the Bitcoin ETFs and speculated on a new multipolar world. We are told the poles in this new world will be US, Russia, and China, but it is shaping up to be BRICS vs Davos vs Wall Street. We riff on that idea for a while.
Next, we listen to a WEF spokesman being excited about CBDCs. His comments sound so dystopian that I don't know how any big money will willingly choose to use it. Nolan and I have slightly different opinions on this and we explore that.
Up next, I outline the surprise reshuffle of leadership at the People's Bank of China. The Party Chief and Governor, who were both just reappointed at this year's Communist Party Congress are out, and the former Deputy Governor, Pan Gongsheng is in. Pan is known for his expertise in foreign exchange and his unwavering order following, with the Three Red Lines policy, tech and Bitcoin crackdowns, and more.
We conclude that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is panicking over the crashing yuan.
Lastly, I wanted to provide an update on the Reverse Repo total from the Federal Reserve. We tried to piece this together and figure out what is going on. What do you think?

In this episode, Nolan and I discuss all the big news items of the week having to do with central banks and bitcoin. Blackrock's Bitcoin ETF chances are still top of the list in Bitcoin news. We watch a couple clips of guys who know what they are talking about, Elliot Johnson of EBIT and James Seyffart of Bloomberg. Everything is aligning.
Next, we discussion MicroStategy (MSTR) and their recent bitcoin buy, then get into the North Carolina bill to study adding Bitcoin to their State balance sheet. We take a look at some bitcoin charts, all pressing up on resistance, looking very bullish. Lastly, we tackle the CBDC debate.
The BIS report we covered last week has been the driver of a lot of CBDC speculation this week. On twitter, I tried to debunk it and triggered George Gammon. Bottom line is CBDCs are not going to become a global "unified ledger." All their claims and rhetoric is reminiscent of the ICO white papers circa 2016.
In the whole BIS paper they didn't mention "consensus" once, which is a pretty big deal if you talking about a global, cross-border, sovereignty limiting, ledger. This shows that they are just writing down fantasies like all those ICOs that came before. None of what the BIS proposes is actually viable.
