Episode notes
Self-Custody To Protect Property Rights
- If you want property rights that survive political seizure, custody matters: hold Bitcoin yourself in self-custody.
- Mallers advises ownership in Bitcoin as a way to laugh at political coercion and preserve property rights.
Debt Makes The Fed A Policy Lever
- High debt-to-GDP and huge interest expense mean the Fed effectively sets broad economic and foreign policy.
- That reality undermines claims of Fed independence and increases political interventions.
Industrial Policy Means Inflation Risk
- Trump's industrial policy and threats to corporate property signal U.S. policy moving closer to state intervention and re-shoring.
- Those moves will likely be inflationary and therefore bullish for Bitcoin and gold if the US chooses to print money.
