Episode notes
Rates Don't Cure Supply Shock Inflation
- Raising interest rates can't fix supply-shock inflation from oil because rates mainly curb demand and investment, not input shortages.
- Dave argues higher rates can hurt necessary investment to reroute oil, so monetary tightening is ineffective for oil-driven CPI spikes.
Physical Gold Sold At Steep Discounts During Middle East Flight
- Physical gold sellers in the Middle East fleeing conflict caused outsized downward pressure because they converted possessions to cash at steep discounts.
- Dave cites reports of gold sold at 20–30% discounts during evacuations, explaining why gold dropped harder than Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Portability Reduced Forced-Sale Pressure
- Bitcoin's portability made it resilient when people sought to move wealth quickly across borders, unlike physical gold.
- Dave notes you can take Bitcoin with you, so it didn't suffer the same forced-sales dynamic as gold.
