You all didn’t think we would go #Bitcoin parabolic without one more test, did you?
Good evening.
There are two ways this economy can go, and both of them end in massive money printing.
Have a great weekend.
It’s amazing how so many people are currently selling Bitcoin, and I’m pretty sure I do not know a single one of them.
The government is currently the primary driver of job ‘growth’. This means the need for ongoing and expanded federal deficits, and federal deficits are inherently and long-term inflationary. This is how you manufacture a ‘soft landing’.
Good evening.
In case you were confused by the title, The Inflation Reduction Act did not, in fact, reduce inflation.
Have a great night.
You all are so far ahead of the Twitter curve. I’m explaining to someone about fractional banking over there. Normies are so sadly lost in this maze of financial repression.
Hello.
The US government now pays over $3 billion of interest on its debt per day.
Have a great Thursday.

For everyone who is getting fatigued with Bitcoin’s recent price action:
Over the last decade, the average return in #Bitcoin for the top 10 days each year was 184%, and the average return (loss) for all of the remaining days each year was −10%.
Patience eventually pays off, big time.
With this morning's JOLTs data showing that job openings are falling--well below estimates--and layoffs increasing, futures show a 47% chance of a 50bp rate cute in September, up from 37% yesterday. And bad news is once again 'good news' for the markets.


Welp. Nikkei 225 down 3.7% and the usd/yen headed lower. Looks like we’re about to see just how much of that Yen Carry Trade is still out there.


Good evening nostrs. Keep your eyes on the horizon.


The market is reacting negatively this morning to extremely poor ISM manufacturing data.
Here’s the TLDR:
Demand fell, inventories rose (due to unsold stock), and prices *rose* (due to labor and shipping costs). In essence, this is stagflation (higher prices in a stagnant or slowing economy).
The Fed’s worst nightmare.
