In today's episode, I detail out Powell's comments on March 7th in front of the Senate Banking Committee, reacting to what I heard. I listen to these types of things so you don't have to. IMO this one was pretty entertaining. Also, in hindsight, since I'm publishing this episode on March 22nd, after the huge bank failures of SVB and Signature caused havoc for the Fed, listening to his comments and my reaction from just before is interesting.

Second, I discuss GBTC becoming an ETF and what that would mean. Thanks for listening. Enjoy.

In today's episode, we discuss the bitcoin price a little, then get into the big topic of the day, and that was whether or not bitcoiners should be celebrating the SEC going after altcoins. I don't think we should take any side, other than bitcoin's side. We don't want to enable the fraud after we specifically warned about this very thing while being called toxic, and we shouldn't necessarily support the SEC either. However, it is important not to be dragged into it. Crypto is not bitcoin, bitcoin is not crypto. Enjoy.

This episode of the podcast was recorded on February 24, 2023. It was a free form Friday, where I scan through some of the things I'm reading and take the listener along with me. Topics covered were PCE inflation numbers out of the US; examining if the strong dollar and lagging 10Y Treasury security is due to stupidity, a plan, or panic; and lastly, we listen to a speech by the Indian delegate at the UN where she questions the legitimacy of the UN in the first place. Enjoy.

In today's episode, I talk through a back and forth I had on twitter with Luke Gromen. He refuses to have a coherent model for inflation, instead calling everything inflation. I try to clearly explain why fiscal spending and QE are not money printing, and why unusual fiscal spending with supply shocks make prices go up. Only some of it is money printing, with most of it being crowding out by pulling demand forward from savings at the same time as slashing supply. Enjoy.
