The Paradox of Technology and Inflation
The introduction of new technology has typically been disinflationary and deflationary due to productivity enhancements. However, currently, with powerful technology advancements, the bottleneck lies in industrial components and raw commodities like copper. This creates a paradox where the latest technology might lead to inflation instead of disinflation, as industrial components and commodities become key factors driving inflation.
In this episode of the Bitcoin Fundamentals Podcast, Luke Gromen discusses the macroeconomic outlook for the upcoming year. We cover the Fed/Treasury cap on USD, UST yields, potential changes in housing inflation metrics, and the significant backlog in transmission interconnections. Additionally, Luke explores the implications of a $1.8 trillion housing stimulus, key commodities like copper and uranium, the Japan treasury market, and how these factors could impact Bitcoin.
