I've heard it mentioned many times that the institution of central banking was, for a time at least, a net positive for depositors. Dad mentioned that he would rather have them, then not have them. I used to believe this too until I came across libertarian podcaster Tom Woods who challenged this idea. Have listen to this clip I made on fountain to get the gist of his arguement, I'm intetested to see if you can find any flaws in his position. https://fountain.fm/clip/JzALWTO9iJJEzmZZiTdB

Great episode, podcast content is always better when it's meaningful! No matter what you decide for your life you will always look back and wonder if you made the right decision. Life is gets shorter every year and one thing I realized (when I hit my 40's) is that not making a decision is also a decision too, there are no easy ways out. As you age, wither and deteriorate the handstand and family options might not be viable anymore so keep that in mind. Be impulsive, none of this really matters..

Bitcoin Spikes plus Tidal Macro Forces - E377
Bitcoin & Markets: Macro, money, geopolitics and news LIKE AND COMMENT!! In this live stream replay, I discuss bitcoin's recent price action and its relation to other markets. I also spend some time trying to articulate the tidal nature of markets. We have enter a pre-recessionary time, and while prices can fluctuate or seemingly reverse for a period, like a week or two, the trend is still intact toward a recession. Pre-recession includes falling yields, rising stocks and rising safe havens. Imminent-recession period, like the 1 month before the recession officially starts, we will get a slightly different behavior. Yields will crash rapidly as stocks sell-off some of their pre-recession gains. I expect bitcoin to be similar here, but also benefit from network effects of adoption. Bitcoin should also get a cash-related bid in the imminent-recession period. Next, we watch Cathie Wood talk about the ETF. Nothing super new here other than she uses my exact language that "bitcoin is a hedge against inflation AND DEFLATION." Thanks for listening.

ETF hype fading?
End of an 8 day approval window

James Seyffart on X (https://twitter.com/JSeyff/status/1724469793422508533)
"Okay, we're nearing in on deadline dates for 3 spot #Bitcoin ETF applications. I want to get ahead of it because there's a pretty good chance we'll see delay orders from the SEC. Delays WOULD NOT change anything about our views & 90% odds for 19b-4 approval by Jan 10, 2024
Bitcoin News on X (https://twitter.com/BitcoinNewsCom/status/1725566270488170920)
JUST IN: @EricBalchunas of Bloomberg reports that the 🇺🇸 SEC is advising spot #Bitcoin ETF issuers that they prefer cash creations over in-kind creations for these ETFs.
Cash "creates" mean the issuer would transact in cash instead of using #Bitcoin directly. The SEC prefers cash creates because broker-dealers can't directly handle Bitcoin.
This move is seen as a positive step indicating progress in the approval process, despite the potential need for adjustments by the ETF filers.
Bitcoin Archive on X (https://twitter.com/BTC_Archive/status/1724471921734013287)
"CNBC host questions why the SEC hasn't approved a spot #Bitcoin ETF because Chairman Gary Gensler certainly understands Bitcoin. “He taught Bitcoin at MIT, he understands it…there has to be something else." I wonder… 🧐

The Periphery (https://blog.bitmex.com/the-periphery/)
Bull vs Bear steepeners
> When the recession or financial calamity occurs, short-end rates will fall quickly as the Fed aggressively cuts its policy rate in response. That is the “oh shit” moment. The yield curve un-inverts and then steepens (long-end rates higher than short-end rates), but it will do so while yields are generally falling. This is called a “bull steepener” and is the classic way the yield curve has moved in modern financial history.
>
> Right now, there is no US recession and no financial calamity. To the intellectually dishonest TradFi cheerleaders like Paul Krugman, the regional banking crisis doesn’t count; they will need to see a firm like Bank of America go bust to acknowledge the deep rot in the US banking system. Therefore, the market, aka bond vigilantes, expect the Fed to continue raising rates to fight inflation. But the Fed said rate hikes are paused, therefore the bull steepening scenario won’t occur. Then why should the vigilantes continue holding long-end bonds? They won’t, and they will express their view by selling long-end bonds at the margin.
Solution is for US Gov to cut spending and increase income, will exacerbate recession
This is completely impossible the US Secret service spends ~$3bn/year just protecting the president (https://www.usaspending.gov/federal_account/070-0400)
Interest rate hedging means that higher short term rates bankrupt banks
Bear steepener bankrupts banks
Pre-payment of mortages bankrupts banks
All of these things mean selling treasuries
> Underneath the veneer of record-breaking profits is a ticking time bomb hidden in the recesses of Too Big To Fail global banks. I’m talking about the likes of JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, Nomura, etc. They sold trillions of notional worth of these products to desperate pension and insurance companies, and now will find themselves gushing losses larger than Three Arrows Capital. To hedge and stop the bleeding, these banks all must trade the same way. The more they hedge, the more they lose. All of this is due to the bear steepener, which is a direct result of Fed and global central banking policy. Talk about a TradFi human centipede.
The FED Raising rates is not about fighting inflation, its about preventing a Bear Steepener in the bond market that kills the TBTF banks, but at the cost of killing the regional banks

The OMG! Particle
On October 15, 1991, a cosmic ray detector in Utah observed something that had never been seen before or since.
It was a cosmic ray with more energy than anything ever observed and more energy than most scientists thought possible.
When one of the first researchers saw the data, they responded simply, "Oh, my God!"
Learn more about the OMG particle, what it was, and what it means on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

EPISODE
Constantinople (Encore)
In the year 330, the Roman Emperor Constantine decided that the capital of the entire Roman Empire should be moved.
The location he selected was a small Greek town by the name of Byzantium, located in the middle of the Bhosperous Straits, approximately 500 miles or 800 kilometers from Rome.
From there, it grew into one of the largest and wealthiest cities in the world and was the seat of more than one major empire.
Learn more about Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

A Brief History of Digital Audio
Right now, you are listening to the sound of my voice on some sort of digital audio device. In fact, almost all of the audio you consume today was digitally recorded or edited at some point in the process.
But sound is inherently analog. How does sound, the movement of air, become converted into 1s and 0s?
…and once sound is digitally converted, how is it distributed, and how has the digitization of sound changed the business of music and audio?
Learn more about digital audio, how it works,, and how it changed how we consume audio on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Remember, Remember the 5th of November (Encore)
In 1605, members of the Catholic resistance in England hatched a plot that would have completely changed the political landscape of the country. They wanted to blow up the entire parliament and the king on November 5, which they thought would return a Catholic monarch to the throne.
The plotters got caught, and their demise has been celebrated for the last 400 years.
