Another daily live stream. Today, I talk dicuss the bitcoin price action, along with stocks, the dollar, and oil. Find the the chart on the full show notes. After that, I read throug two articles, one about coming oil price acceleration and the Fed's choices, the other about the omnipotent is losing power. They offer me an opportunity to discuss why the typical bitcoin and "alternative macro" conception about the central bank and money are wrong.

Lastly, I take a question from one of my listeners. He asks if bitcoin will benefit most from a tight dollar situation or a loose dollar situation. This is because I was talking about credit cycles and the business cycle, and that what we see today is simply a global credit/business cycle that cannot be allowed to collapse, because there is nothing backing any of the money. A collapse would mean liquidating all debt not just the bad debts. Therefore, it will be kicked down the road until we change the money.

This episode of Bitcoin & Markets marks a new beginning. Yesterday YouTube terminated my channel out of the blue after a live stream. I've since appealed, but this incident has made be question the direction of my show.

This is a raw and unedited version of my live stream. I will be posting every live stream I do on Telegram and Twitter to my podcast feed as well. Where paid supporters were the only ones getting my live stream recordings, I want to open them up to everyone and try to broaden my reach.

I also started a Rumble channel to check out.

On this episode I talk about the ban, the upcoming Fed policy decision later today, the bitcoin price and technical analysis, and a few other topics from my Telegram channel, like the Foxconn issues over in China.

This episode is dedicated to education. I select a few terms from the Bitcoin Dictionary and go through them. You can find the Bitcoin Dictionary on Amazon, or by going to bitcoindictionary.cc.

The terms I selected are very important to understanding bitcoin, economics, and money. They are convergence, consensus, credit commitment, money and economic medium.

This episode is a short clip of my Telegram live stream (also doing them as Twitter spaces) on 8 Sept 2022. The topic was a tweet thread by Mark Moss.

This is clip I detail why it is important for people to define inflation and deflation properly as changes to the money supply, and not falsely label all price level changes to "inflation". It is extremely misleading.

Mark tells us that the price decreases we've seen over the last several decades are a result of "deflation". That is wrong. Globalization was enabled by massive amounts of credit creation, and since money is credit (we have credit-based money), this was massive inflation.

The reason it is important to get the definitions right, is because price changes directly resulting from changes to the money supply (inflation or deflation) is the evil we are trying to avoid. In this case, money printing of the last 50 years led to globalization, economies of scale, artificial division of labor, and price declines. The evils of inflation was the lower prices and globalization.

Now, in the reflexive deflationary environment, birth rates to go down, mental health deteriorates, and cultures degenerate. The evils of inflation didn't look like evils, prices went down, but be other side of the coin, deflation, exposes the damage done.

Deglobalization is driven by deflation (shrinking of global credit) yet will lead to rising prices from losing efficiencies of globalization.

The natural state of things is likely higher prices, but also higher birth rates, better mental health, and flourishing cultures.

Initially, the deflationary environment exposes the evils of changing the money supply, but that forces a change in the form of money back to sound money, because the limitations of credit-based money have been reached, and the only way out is to change to a commodity money (I believe bitcoin).

This episode is a recording of my telegram live stream today. In it I discuss a recent video sent to me by a member on bitcoinandmarkets.com. I took the opportunity to describe how power difference appear in the geopolitical chess board.

We get into the history of power, the geopolitics of Athens and Sparta, Britain vs France, why some areas have different cultures and economics versus other places, and finally, where is it all going.

In this episode, I react to another Jeff Snider interview, this time on the Mark Moss podcast.

In the interview, Jeff response to Mark's questions about why QE doesn't work and is not money printing. I expand on Jeff's points by describing how QE actually handicaps future growth, and in a credit-based system, it also effects growth.

I wanted to tackle the specific arguments Jeff makes about elasticity next. Jeff claims that the problem with the current system is the lack of elasticity in economic slowdowns. I think he'd also argue that the response to these slowdowns has an effect of ever getting back to a good economy, where credit is expanding, and where elasticity is high.

He claims that lack of elasticity is the main problems we face today.

My analysis is nearly opposite.
