WTF is Going on in the Markets? With Raoul Pal, Caitlin Long & Travis Kling

“This isn’t going to be Trump’s problem, this isn’t going to be J. Powell’s problem, this isn’t Biden’s problem, this isn’t Mnuchin’s problem. It’s not going to be any of their problems, it’s going to be our problem.”

Role: Co-Founder & CEO, Co-Founder, Chief Investment OfficerIn late 2019 and early 2020, the global economy was showing signs of stress. Even before coronavirus, we saw the Fed having to step in and provide liquidity for the repo market and issuing rate cuts. But the rapid spread of coronavirus around the world and the resulting lockdowns has further exposed cracks in the global economy.Stock markets experienced high volatility as the economic impact of businesses closing hit with Wall Street suffered its worst day since ‘Black Monday’ and oil prices going negative for the first time in history. Governments responded with unprecedented levels of quantitative easing, and some countries are now seeing their currencies collapsing.Many analysts have suggested that rather than coronavirus being the cause of this economic downturn, it was instead the black swan event that acted as the pin that popped the bubble and the enormous debts that have been amounting for decades was a disaster waiting to happen.Over the past year, I have spoken to several economists including Raoul Pal, Caitlin Long and Travis Kling, all of whom warned that a financial collapse is coming.So, what is happening at the moment, what can we expect to see next, and how can we all prepare?This interview is from a panel I recently hosted for Real Vision’s The Crypto Gathering, with Raoul Pal, Caitlin Long & Travis Kling. We discuss the early warning signs of systemic issues in the global macroeconomy, what might happen next and where Bitcoin fits into this.This episode’s sponsors:Kraken - The best place to buy, sell & trade Bitcoin
