Hey Satsmate Stackers,
You don't have to look far to see that inflation is starting to heat up, and we are now at a point in the economy where a rate cut is likely to occur in September.
With this, we need to ask ourselves: will a rate cut further cause inflation to spiral out of control, or will we start to see the economy recover in a healthy way?
Specifically, in this podcast, I go over important topics such as the following:
- Trump is pushing for rate cuts over the past couple of months, as he wants markets to pump
- While this can be a short-term sugar high, in the long term, this could cause long-term damage to the U.S.
- Inflation is well above the target rate of 2% (almost 3%), and unemployment remains pretty low (stated rate of 4.1%)
- Powell needs to remain strong and not bend under the will of Trump
- As much as I hate the FED, it needs to remain fully independent of the markets
- Long-term erosion of trust in the dollar and wages in our economy will happen if we see cuts
- Yes, the cost of borrowing will go down, but where will the prices of houses go?
- How about all assets? Stocks, bitcoin, everything will rocket
- Those without assets will get further divided, separating the rich from the poor even further
- So many short-term high-preference people are calling for a rate cut, but have we considered where this could lead?
- Now imagine several rate cuts, paired with money printing, paired with passing of $4T bills, and further cuts on regulation
- This market will go parabolic and unhinged
- Bitcoin will protect us from this, but is this best for society?
- Okay, you could make a bunch of money, but will society be functioning well in a situation like this?
- We need to assess whether we should give so much power to politicians and the Federal Reserve - and we need to opt into an independent monetary asset - bitcoin
