Episode notes
Sovereigns And Corporations Are Quietly Accumulating Bitcoin
- Global actors are quietly positioning Bitcoin as a neutral reserve asset amid rising distrust in fiat.
- Oceans cites corporate buyers and sovereign interest (UAE, MicroStrategy) as evidence of strategic accumulation beyond speculation.
AI Is Creating Massive Deflationary Pressure
- AI-driven technological deflation may compress costs across industries and push headline inflation lower.
- Oceans references Cathie Wood noting AI training and inference costs falling dramatically, calling it 'good deflation'.

- A debt-based monetary system depends on nominal growth and inflation to service leverage; deflation increases real debt burdens.
- Oceans explains falling prices tighten leverage and historically force central banks to print money and governments to intervene.
