Since the signing of the ‘big, beautiful bill’, we’ve reached “out the wazoo” stage. To be fair, our debt already reached that stage 10 years ago.

The keyword “fiat” has been thrown around with such regularity over the last year that even if you’re not wired into all-things-economics you have to wonder why it’s it’s being mentioned. And usually when you see this kind of frequency there a relative panic associated with it. Be smart.
The similarities and differences between central bank denominated currencies, also known as fiat, and a deflationary asset such as Bitcoin.  Bitcoin wins.

The chart is courtesy of Bravos Research. The past is, of course, never indicative of the future. But this chart is NOT to show the similarities of what is going on in the macro environment today, but rather to show that a crisis can play itself out over time before the proverbial shoe drops.

There are so many macro factors that are pressing buttons in this market right now. Valuation is only one of them but it’s a huge component. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: everything is expensive, trading at multiples WAAAAY above historical averages even compared to past bull markets

I’m not a fan of CZ. Binance for years has facilitated transactions that run the gamut from narcotics distribution, human trafficking, tax evasion, etc and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. But I’m not going to argue that public spending should be placed on the blockchain. He’s correct here.

I saw David Lynch’s Dune on the big screen as a kid. It blew me away. I felt alone in that regard as just about everyone at the time panned it or just outright hated it. Glad that over the years it’s garnered newfound appreciation. If you’re about to do a Lynch retrospective here a handout for you:

Here’s why this assessment is off the mark: 1) even with a handout, Chinese are going to save it, not spend. In their current deflationary spiral they’re not going to see a need to spend at all. 2) China’s local govt debt are already at astronomical levels and totally unsustainable. (cont 👇)
