The main theme of the day is a growing "attack" on the bitcoin space, an attack that conveniently seems wholly contained to the altcoin scams and altcoin casino exchanges. For years, bitcoiners have said these things were enemies of bitcoin, but now we are being called on to come to their rescue and join with the fraudsters, scammers and theives. I don't think so.

We are probably familiar with communist progressives on the left, but there is also a school on the right of technology progressives. The latter thinks there will be ever increasing levels of technology and it would be best if governments got out of the way. While I do believe capitalism is the way to go, this progressive vision of moving toward a technological utopia of AI, robots, and interstellar travel is very unlikely with more free markets. It is likely we will choose family and faith over progress of this nature, we'll move out of cities and become more self-sufficient instead of growing more fragile and dependent on ever centralizing systems Next is about altcoiners starting to see the light as the SEC swoops in and destroys the viability of all these scams. Lastly, we breifly cover retail sales in the US accelerating in January, but how this doesn't necessarily mean the Fed will clamp down harder. All they've done hasn't squashed the economy, so what makes people think them doing more will do that? What if they don't do much of anything in the real economy and they are only playing experts for the cameras. Enjoy.

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.

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."

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.

Many people were expecting some policy guidance in the speech. We didn't that that, but we did get a huge slam of the ESG policy that has been pushed by other central banks like the ECB in recent years. Powell pretty much lays the smackdown, saying the Federal Reserve will not be pursuing climate or ESG goal through its policy or tools. This is a massive split in central bank interest between the Davos controlled ECB and the Wall Street control Federal Reserve. I fast forwarded a lot of the less interesting words from the speakers.

In today's episode, I read through a couple tweet threads about bitcoin and macro. The first is from Alistair Milne talking about halving cycles and 2023, along with some big predictions for the new year. The second thread, is by Stack Hodler and talks about the epic December that the Bank of Japan has had. They did a record amount of asset purchases this month, despite raising the yield curve control ceiling. I read through both these threads and give you my unique reaction and perspective.

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.

FREE weekly newsletter https://tinyurl.com/2chhbnff 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.
