It has really caused a lot of waves in the bitcoin ecosystem, almost completely contained to the scam coin side of the house. Next, I dive into a few numbers out of China regarding their credit creation in December. It was huge.

Make Sense of Jobs Data, plus Deflation is Back - Daily Live 2.7.23 | E314

Full show notes with links and charts: Telegram Twitter FREE weekly newsletter In today's episode, I react to Powell's interview at the Economic Club of Washington D.C. Many people were wondering if Powell's tone was going to change since the week before's FOMC press conference, given the Jobs Report came out and showed major tightening of the jobs market. After I react to that interview, I read through a story about lending in the US is falling off a cliff. Tightening lending standards mixed with crashing demand for loans. Enjoy.

The Bitcoin Scaling Debate is Back - Daily Live 2/6/23 | E313

Full show notes with links and charts: Telegram Twitter FREE weekly newsletter In today's episode, since it was recorded on Monday, my newsletter day, I concentrated on a few stories I was writing about. The Live show was quite a bit longer, so make sure you join us on YT, Twitter, or Telegram. The main topic is the Ordinal debate. This public conflict is blown way out of perportion, and reminds me a lot of the scaling conflict in 2016. I also cover some of the uncomfortable truths about bitcoin scaling and discuss who we might look at them in the future. Lastly, I quickly cover the China Spy Balloon story again. Not that big of a deal either, other than it shows globalization/international trust and cooperation is gone. Enjoy.

Peak Oil Demand and a Defense of CPI - Daily Live 1.31.23 | E310

Full show notes with links and charts: Telegram Twitter FREE weekly newsletter Today's episode covers mainly my thesis on peak oil demand. Before we get into that though, we have a much deserved laugh listening a song written by on twitter. At the end of the episode, I respond to a question about CPI and read through an article attacking CPI's accuracy. I said it in the show, but I'll say it again here, I'm not defending the precise accuracy of CPI, only that it is generally correct and the best thing we have. Enjoy.

Disbelief Stage, No Recession, Culture vs Technology - Daily Live 1.30.23 | E309

Full show notes with links and charts: Telegram Twitter FREE weekly newsletter Today's episode is a wide ride. I start by giving a long introduction to my theories and process. I then cover the current macroeconomic situation through charts, like bitcoin, the S&P 500, oil and more. I compare commentary by Ray Dalio and Neil Howe on bitcoin and bitcoin arguments. Ray Dalio, who I don't agree with often, is sounding much smarter than Neil Howe on this topic. Lastly, I discuss at length my thoughts on culture versus technology using a twitter poll by Steven Lubka. Overall, this is a broad and fun show. Enjoy.

Global South, Zoltan, and Betting on Communists - Daily Live 1.27.23 | E308

Full show notes with links and charts: Telegram Twitter FREE weekly newsletter In today's episode, I once again take on Zoltan Pozsar in his latest short article for the Financial Times. It's filled with the same old dribble about magically supplanting a unique post-WWII globalized system led by Washington, with the same thing led by Beijing. Of course, this is silly. I do believe that the internationalized era where almost every country sang Kumbaya together, gorged on productive credit, and grew rapidly is over. But it won't be replaced by the same thing only under a different hegemon. It is the era of credit based money that is ending. We will go back to a neutral commodity money, namely bitcoin. Enjoy.

The Globalists Gaslighting About Unity - Daily Live 1.25.23 | E307

Full show notes with links and charts: Telegram Twitter FREE weekly newsletter In today's episode, after a run through the charts you can find below or on bitcoinandmarkets.com/e307/, I listen to Biden's latest speech about sending tanks to Ukraine. I don't concentrate on the tanks through, I concentrate on the rhetoric about unity in the West. "We are fully united," he says. Of course, we all know, no relation is 100% without disagreement, especially political ones in wartime. This rhetoric was echoed by Minister Baerbock in Germany when she said it is not time for a "blame game" in Europe. They are "at war with Russia, not each other." I think this is telling that not all is well on the unity front in the West. Enjoy.

Ransomware and Bitcoin Demand - Daily Live 1.17.23 | E302

Full show notes with links and charts: Telegram Twitter FREE weekly newsletter In today's episode I cover the bitcoin price action and some macro charts, but then quickly get into the main topic for the episode, the coinciding of the bitcoin price pump and the FAA outage in the US. This incident was the first time since 911 that all air traffic in US airspace was grounded. Officially, it was an oversight from a contractor or some such excuse. Of course, all these systems have redundancy, so a simple mistake from a contractor could not take the whole national system. Likely it was due to a cyberattack. That is the conclusion of Tucker Carlson of Fox News. We watched/listened to a clip of him making this argument. A big part of his evidence was the fact that bitcoin happened to pump right at the same time that the government would have needed to buy bitcoin to pay a ransom. I cannot make any conclusion for certain, but it is a more likely explanation than the official story. Enjoy.

Full show notes with links and charts: Telegram Twitter for Spaces! FREE weekly newsletter In today's episode, I read through a couple pieces. The first, from Mish, is about the nature of inflation and deflation. He unexpectedly paints a deflationary picture. The second piece I read through, and the majority of time during this episode, is Zoltan Poznar's most recent dispatch. Oh brother, do I have a lot to say about this. He is all over the place in his misunderstanding. Zoltan's expertise is in interest rates and financial plumbing, yet he has ventured into the realm of geopolitics for the last 6 months with his Bretton Woods III abomination. His key evidence of the Saudi/Xi meeting is utter nonsense. I tear it apart from the first sentence. Zoltan actually believes that the CBDC project that China and Gulf countries are working on has some efficiency or benefit, instead of being masked MMT and colonialism for the communists in Beijing.

Russia Makes Move Into Bitcoin !! - Daily Live 12.23.22 | E288

Full show notes with links and charts: Telegram Twitter for Spaces! FREE weekly newsletter Today's episode covers macro headlines about oil and PCE for November. I walk through exactly why a hard recession is unlikely in the US, as economic activity is coming off a HUGE nominal number as CPI is crashing. This creates the feeling of free fall in the economy but real GDP can actually stay positive. This puts massive downward pressure on the demand for oil globally, and since the US is a giant producer of oil and natural gas, it puts the US in the economic driver seat. Lastly, a member of the audience brings up a very big news item out of Russia, where they have stated that they "WILL" start using bitcoin as early as January for import/export deals.

First, is the current developments in the oil market, where production is up to 12.26 million bbl/d in the US, which is being offset by the decline in releases from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, creating a net neutral supply condition, yet price is hitting higher highs. That tells me that economic activity is actually rising in the US. Next, we take a look at the bitcoin price and discuss some things from that market. Lastly, I go through the deep thought of the day. That without government involvement perhaps official measured living standards would drop, but living standards in other things would go way up. #bitcoin #macro #geopolitics ---- Disclaimer: The content for Bitcoin & Markets shall not be construed as tax, legal or financial advice.

I spend a lot of time usually talking about how credit works today and how it will change going into a bitcoin world. But once bitcoin has won, what will credit look like? Some people think there will be very little credit in a post-bitcoin world. A tweet I read a couple weeks ago and talked about on the show said, there won't be mortgages in a post bitcoin world, and somehow implied that mortgages are bad. To have this discussion, I use two tweets, one by @John_at_swan and the other by @EricYakes. Enjoy.

Bitcoin Realism and Conspiracies - Daily Live 12.2.22 | E274

Full show notes with links and charts: Telegram Twitter for Spaces! FREE weekly newsletter In this episode, I react to a tweet thread by Danial Batton about the recent ECB blog post attacking bitcoin being a sign that the indirect attacks on bitcoin through proxies have failed, so the ECB has resorted direct attacks. In it he frames central banks as the big bad evil in the world. My take is slightly different. They are very inefficient, but they are not necessarily the result conspiracy. Credit money won because it was better for the time and the place. Now the global monetary environment has changed because we are at the end of the global credit bubble. The world will naturally go toward a new money. This is a much more positive view, because instead of fighting omnipotent central planners and the most powerful people on the planet, you realize that the market will simply evolve and move toward bitcoin naturally. Next, I talk about the recent jobs report that came out yesterday, and the discrepancy between the Household and Establishment surveys. I once again take an anti-conspiracy stance, saying they just measure different things, and if the government wanted to manipulate things, why do they leave the Household survey untouched, and there to point out the manipulation? Why wouldn't they manipulate both? Links #bitcoin #macro #geopolitics ---- Disclaimer: The content for Bitcoin & Markets shall not be construed as tax, legal or financial advice.

The first is that Neurolink is 6 months from human trials. Second, the extra-legal trick of the Biden White House, forcing his programs to be shot down in court. The last, headline is about the difficulties the EU is having instituting a price cap on Russia oil. It's all crazy. Last but not least, I take a question from Telegram from Carlo, who asks how the Fed influences shorter term rates but not longer term rates. #bitcoin #macro #geopolitics ---- Disclaimer: The content for Bitcoin & Markets shall not be construed as tax, legal or financial advice.
