Notes (16)
Nice coffee in the sun today... today I get to relax after a few months of hard work...

Just was talking to a Singaporean guy who was able to take a Japanese Yen denominated loan from a Singaporean bank to buy a Japanese rental property (income above costs apparently) and Japanese govt gave him immediately a 10% tax rebate of some sorts.
Can you say Japanese Carry trade?
Apparently lots of 'smart finance people' have been doing it and 'the Japanese govt is very conservative about changing interest rates' even though he knew that they just did raise interest rates for first time in decades (?).
I asked what happens if Japanese interest rates go up? He said his costs will increase but they are still low right now.
I said the entire world is in the same boat. He seemed unsure about that propsect 😒. I didn't bother with the Bitcoin speech, he's too far deep and I just met him in line at the airport. Lucky fella escaped unscathed!
But Bitcoin.

Very good episode on monetary corruption and some BTC speculation. Whitney and Mark aren't always correct but I think its important to have people prying to see what is loose and what is solid so to speak.

Why is BTC more sensitive that Gold in terms of market cap? For eg Mark Moss says BTC goes up $9 for every $1 that comes in. Some others say 4/5 per $1 in market cap.
But what is the reason for this? I assume it's because BTC is a more diff asset to increase the supply of ie more 'hardened' and therfore more secure in fiat monetary problematic times.
Is this correct in your opinion or another reason?

Some people saying BTC cycles are over... the sideways market is getting to people and its showing...
"Cycle not broken it just changes each time slightly. Kamala just proposed $750 to citizens, China is doing QE, FED is lowering rates, increased war looks probable, new US admin into office soon, debt ceiling in US renegotiate in Jan 25, debt repayments on 35 trillion. Plenty of reasons to turn on the printer. People just forget as 4 years can sometimes feel long. BTC will top in Q4 25 1 year after elections as it has done twice before imo."

One thing people dont consider very much is "factions" within global elite. It's possible that Bitcoin was created by 'government' but when people usually say this they mean 'it's a set up or a trap' for us plebs and we will be rugged of your value at some point.
For example you could listen to Tom Luongo, Ian Ferguson and/or Whitney Webb to get an idea of these factions and how they are sometimes aligned against plebs and other times are just fighting for control vs eachother.
In the case of the former we plebs get fucked. In the case of the latter then the plebs benefit by having the enemy of our enemy doing things which align with our interests also.
But this is not to be confused with the enemy of our enemy being 'for plebs' of our friends. Maybe interests align for a period of time but eventually once these factions play out in a 'Game of Thrones' style epic saga of in fighting assassinations and war the winning faction will again look to subjugate the Plebs.
I dont think many people will understand the nuance of factions within power structures.
Instead of Bitcoin being a rugpull for plebs its actually a rugpull for the faction of the elites who have their power basis in fractional reserve banking and Libor Rates of interest on loaned money. Its this group of Elites who are non US and European based who are not aligned with Cypto and will eventually be ousted by it in favour or Bitcoin and Crypto currencies more generally as a basis for the new financial system.
Crypto is one big power play to oust the old regime and start a new one. This is not to be confused with 'BTC World Reserve Currency' type hopium, I think there will eventually be a rugpull when the new power faction has won and now looks to subjugate plebs. Not that I think BTC Network will fail. More likely imo some Layer 2 regime is set up on top and is KYC. In addition I also think GDP could be increased significantly with AI and new energy tech so as to lower the problemat Debt:GDP ratio.

Some Gold Bugs I follow have outdated criticisms of Bitcoin like what happens if the internet goes down?
Internet is not likely to go down for long if at all. Too much depends on it.
Nodes are now in satellites based on non-internet comms and we cna keep up with the network this way.
Its more likely that govts will ban your Gold rather than disrupt the internet.
The internet is based on cables but hundreds of them making up the entire global network. Its unlikely that all of them are disrupted.

In order for Germany to make a payment (to debtor countries post ww1) they either had to have money lent to it (made up of fiat ledger sheet money) from Wallstreet or have machinery it made purchased from it by developing nations who only had the money to buy said machinery because they were given loans from Wallstreet to do so.
Fiat ponzhi scheme in full effect after WW1. All the "growth" is based on fiat loans which need to be paid back with yet more fiat loans.
This is the thing that's so hard to fathom. There is only so much value in the world and when we use Fiat moneys we base a medium of exchange on something which is not the value itself but an lesser representation of it. These representations need to be paid back but because there is only so much value in the world. it can only be paid back with fiat leading to an endless cycle of loans to pay back loans.
If all the value in the world is represented by 1 then Fiat is over and above this. You would need to create more value in the world to truly pay it back without a fiat loan. You would need more land, more Gold, more energy, more of the actual valuable assets.
What a head fuck.
"When
Germany made a reparations payment, it informed the BIS that the Reichsbank
had credited the BIS’s account in Berlin. The BIS then informed the national
banks of those countries receiving reparations, such as, for example, Britain, that
the monies were available to draw on, if they so wished. If they did not, in case
the movement of substantial sums might affect exchange rates, the funds
remained in the BIS’s account. In the meantime, the BIS used the funds
earmarked for Britain to buy securities—which it could sell if and when Britain
wanted to draw its monies."

"The BIS is a unique institution: an international organization, an extremely
profitable bank and a research institute founded, and protected, by international
treaties.
14 The BIS is accountable to its customers and shareholders—the central
banks—but also guides their operations. The main tasks of a central bank, the
BIS argues, are to control the flow of credit and the volume of currency in
circulation, which will ensure a stable business climate, and to keep exchange
rates within manageable bands to ensure the value of a currency and so smooth
international trade and capital movements. This is crucial, especially in a
globalized economy, where markets react in microseconds and perceptions of
economic stability and value are almost as important as reality itself."

"After 1945, five BIS directors, including Hjalmar Schacht, were charged
with war crimes. Germany lost the war but won the economic peace, in large
part thanks to the BIS. The international stage, contacts, banking networks, and
legitimacy the BIS provided, first to the Reichsbank and then to its successor
banks, has helped ensure the continuity of immensely powerful financial and
economic interests from the Nazi era to the present day."

London Gold Pool. Eight countries
pledged to manipulate the gold market to keep the price at around thirty-five
dollars per ounce, in line with the provisions of the Bretton Woods Accord that governed the post–World War II international financial system.

I'm sure there was blackmail holding these meetings together and the 'trust' in reality. Makes Epstwin and PDiddy type figures understandable. It's all falling apart now.

was involved, no agreements were ever signed nor memoranda of understanding
ever initialized. The word of each official was sufficient, and there were never
any disappointments.”
