cryptobanking
It's like regular finance but much worse. RWAs, cryptobanking, stablecoins, financial plumbing on open and transparent rails

Sell Euros to cover the Yen. Get Japan to buy more military equipment. Get Europe to buy more oil and weapons from the US to give us back the Euros. Someone call Bessent. I could do his job. https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/currencies/articles/us-sold-euros-save-yen-033819315.html

Gromen gems today. His entire thesis is rates will continue to go up. Definitely not direct quotes but the gist is there. - Bessent and Welch spent 15 years complaining about the Chinese managed economy, and it would be ironic when they have to do what they do. - For years this program has been: 'The Chinese can't do it', then it's 'The Chinese can't do it well', then it's 'The Chinese can't do it well', then eventually they do it better than everyone else. - Why would anyone hold a bond with the US when we want to do stupid wars, but right now we can only do it on weekends and the moment we do more we run out of missiles? The US is guaranteed to have to spend more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lS67XZP81Tc

The internet age has converted the idea of "money" in to "data". This has never been seen before in history, and a bunch of old rules of who gets to mediate transfer of value, which were previously handled by franchised guilds from government, are really going to have to figure out what they want to do here. - Data can be copied. - Data can be destroyed. - Data is just an encoding of 0-1s on physical medium or signals in wire. - Data can be transfered. I've always looked at countries that tried to ban crypto, but really all you can do is stop regulated entities from converting currency into crypto. It's not really a ban because any device connected to the internet can still hold and transfer data. You can also try to arrest people for using it, but then you're just arresting your smart young tech savvy population, in an age where every countries demographics are already nearing population collapse. https://x.com/Polymarket/status/2077824350745448597

"Our factory is mass produce!" A comical tragedy that is playing out, is the tension between cost of living of citizens, and the FED. During the Obama administration, Yellen and other central bankers were pushing for some way to drive costs up. Their goal is to maintain stable prices with *slight* inflation to make sure people actively put dollars to work. Much of the communications around the 2018-2019 time was the central bankers trying to debate if having negative interest rates would be legal or even feasible to force more spending. The bankers were looking at the market and the rapid rise of technology and global supply chains, and seeing costs were dropping across the board. Interest rates were zero, they couldn't get any lower. Today? Not so much. We have factories that can mass produce, but with energy supply chains disrupted, not so great US-China relations, and high interest rates they can mass produce. Just no one can afford it. https://youtube.com/shorts/m9nKjpUZddY?si=m414dhR334-V6Z11

The war is over. The market has won. I immediately see this as a signal that politicians can no longer ignore the economy and will now do everything in their power to print money. When they talk about lowering prices and interest rates, this basically means they are going to print money. The timing is correct as well with midterms to now start focusing on that.

If a country has to lure young people in with tax breaks and special remote work visas, know it's always a trap. Governments do not *not* tax people. Taxing is their only jobs. Portugal renegging the deal was always in the cards, and it was always comical to me that anyone believed them. I will save most of you the trouble: If a country has: - Low population growth - High trade deficits - High national debt They don't want you to immigrate to them. They want you to help pay off it's bills. They wanted millionaires to start companies there so they can tax them. When they realize millionaires want to start businesses in the US and not at that country, they kicked off the process of getting you to integrate into the tax regime. Forcing you to buy homes. Forcing you to have a job with a local company. The locals there do not care about you unless you're paying their bills. Digital nomading was always a myth sold by influenzas to get you to buy courses. National balance sheets told the truth.

This guy hates crypto but breaks down exactly why, using the exact same arguments bitcoin monetarists use. China wants USD. https://youtu.be/x83HcLWvHI8?si=Dm3s96jKy7Jy5P_2

Highly recommend everyone working in crypto watches all these videos. The US dollar is the lubricant to the engine of the economy. It's super important to understand how it works, and how it relates to forex markets. https://sites.bu.edu/perry/lectures/mb-lectures/
