Latest / Simply Bitcoin / The Fed LIED and Markets Know It (Why Is Bitcoin DOWN?) | Simply Originals
Transcript
- 0:00Well, Jerome Pell took to the stage yesterday, held rates and
- 0:04unleashed the fury your. Options.
- 0:08Your zero DTE calls the economy inflation, your soft.
- 0:15Landing I am sick of this. Shit, Wall Street you all.
- 0:20I'm. Now more from Powell in a
- 0:23minute. But Trump definitely not happy.
- 0:26Oh and look at that, he wrote a strongly worded letter.
- 0:31Whatever will Jerome do? Well Jerome in his actual
- 0:35statement lied and markets know it.
- 0:38Just yesterday alone gold added the entire market cap of
- 0:42Bitcoin, 1.75 trillion added in a single day.
- 0:47Meanwhile, Bitcoin trapped in pergody story.
- 0:51So what the hell is going on? Because this sort of whatever
- 0:55happens typically before, like riots in the streets or major
- 0:59conflict in war, the Weimar vibes are intensifying.
- 1:03This is the prequel to the sequel of something.
- 1:07What does it all mean for Bitcoin?
- 1:08Well, it means the fastest horse in the race is about to be let
- 1:12out of its cage, and when it does, it's going to be insane.
- 1:16Bitcoin is always very gradually dumpy before suddenly and pumpy
- 1:23we're breaking it all down. the Fed the absolute insanity of
- 1:27what just happened and why Bitcoin could be ripping
- 1:31everyone's faces off very soon. Oh yeah, we got a lot to get to
- 1:35today. While job gains have remained
- 1:42low, the unemployment rate has shown some signs of
- 1:45stabilization and inflation remains somewhat elevated.
- 1:51In support of our goals today, the Federal Open Market
- 1:53Committee decided to leave our policy rate unchanged.
- 1:57Having lowered our policy rate by 75 basis points over the
- 2:01course of our previous three meetings, we see the current
- 2:04stance of monetary policy as appropriate to promote progress
- 2:08toward both our maximum employment and 2% inflation
- 2:11goals. The, the, the point of, of
- 2:14independence is not to protect policy makers or anything like
- 2:17that. It just is that every advanced
- 2:20economy democracy in the world has come around to this common
- 2:25practice. It's just an institutional
- 2:27arrangement that is that has served the people well and that
- 2:30is to to have a separation between, to not have direct
- 2:35elected official control over the setting of monetary policy.
- 2:40Well, there's those words again. Democracy and independence.
- 2:44Why don't we start today by discussing the idiocy and lie in
- 2:48both? You see, here's what Socrates
- 2:51had to say about democracy more than 2000 years ago, and you
- 2:55tell me he didn't absolutely nail it.
- 2:58He said that democracy must fail because it'll try to tailor to
- 3:03everyone. The poor will want the wealth of
- 3:05the rich, and democracy will give it to them.
- 3:08Young people will want to be respected as elderly, and
- 3:12democracy will give it to them. Women will want to be like men,
- 3:16and democracy will will give it to them.
- 3:19Foreigners will want the rights of the natives and democracy
- 3:23will give it to them. Thieves and fraudsters will want
- 3:26important government functions and democracy will will give it
- 3:30to them. And at that time when thieves
- 3:32and fraudsters finally democratically take authority
- 3:35because criminals and evildoers want power, there will be worse
- 3:40dictatorship than in the time of any monarchy or oligarchy.
- 3:44I don't know, but I think Socrates nailed it.
- 3:46He basically took the entire Dictator's Handbook and put that
- 3:49in a paragraph. Democracy is a scam and
- 3:53independence politically working against the elected
- 3:56administration's agenda is the complete opposite of
- 4:00independence and it makes you political, not apolitical.
- 4:04I mean, the truth is they've never been independent and
- 4:07they're basically a foreign agent.
- 4:10The Fed has never been independent.
- 4:11You got a $38 trillion indebted drunken country that is addicted
- 4:19to spending money and you think the people that set interest
- 4:23rates is independent? I mean, but like be be a serious
- 4:26person. Are we able to pay back what
- 4:30we've borrowed based on the growth we're producing today?
- 4:33When you have a number that's over 120%, the answer to that is
- 4:38overwhelmingly no. We have zero chance at paying
- 4:43back and making whole on the 38 plus trillion dollars worth of
- 4:47debt we've accumulated. And by the way, the cost of
- 4:52interest on our $38 trillion, well it is over 100% of our
- 4:58receipts of our revenue. So when you have debt to GDP at
- 5:03over 120% and when your interest expense alone, guys, not our
- 5:10defense budget, not our Social Security budget, not Health and
- 5:15Human Services, just the interest on our $38 trillion of
- 5:22debt, we cannot pay with receipts.
- 5:27So understand this, the Federal Reserve in setting interest
- 5:31rates defines U.S. economic policy, US foreign policy, EU s
- 5:38s ability to defend itself. So mathematically, the Fed is
- 5:44the furthest thing from independent because these
- 5:48degenerate politicians have run the Great West and the United
- 5:53States of America into the debt ridden ground. the Fed has never
- 5:58been independent and they're not independent now.
- 6:01We have to admit it. Does it mean what Trump is doing
- 6:03is good? No, I didn't say that.
- 6:06But you want the truth. Mathematically, the Fed can't be
- 6:11independent. What's that is said about
- 6:14independence again? Jay Powell, why haven't you been
- 6:17audited? What are you guys hiding over
- 6:19there? For every dollar that Federal
- 6:22Reserve employees donated in the 2020 election, 97 cents went to
- 6:28Democratic candidates and causes.
- 6:30For everyone Republican who works at the Fed, there are 10
- 6:34Democrats who work at the Fed. Jerome Powell, for now the fifth
- 6:39straight meeting, has refused to lower interest rates.
- 6:44Now make no mistake, this was the same man that right before
- 6:47the election, 47 days before the 2024 election, cut rates by the
- 6:53largest amount in over 4 years. He cut rates then, but will not
- 6:59cut rates now, even though President Trump has gotten
- 7:03inflation back below 2%. Now, why does it matter that
- 7:08Jerome Powell is not lowering interest rates?
- 7:11Why does that matter to each and every one of us?
- 7:13Well, because if your interest rates are high, your mortgage
- 7:17rates are high. If your mortgage rates are high,
- 7:20you can't afford a home. If you can't afford a home,
- 7:23young couples, a man who has found a God fearing woman in his
- 7:27life cannot marry that woman, cannot start a family, cannot
- 7:32grow a family for the very simple reason that they cannot
- 7:36buy a home. And the reason is goes down to
- 7:40the Federal Reserve's own mandate, their refusal to do the
- 7:45right thing, to look at the economic data in front of them.
- 7:49I like that fishback guy way better than that dude in high
- 7:52heels that attacked American free speech on behalf of a
- 7:55foreign government. But moving on back to the matter
- 7:58at hand, here's the insanity of what just took place in markets.
- 8:01And to me, it says everybody knows the Fed isn't independent
- 8:07and trust globally in the entire financial system is breaking.
- 8:11It's falling apart and it's doing so rapidly.
- 8:15While in the top phase, most of these strengths are sustained,
- 8:19embedded within the fruits of their success are the seeds of
- 8:23their decline. As a rule, as people in these
- 8:26rich and powerful countries earn more, that makes them more
- 8:31expensive and less competitive relative to people in other
- 8:34countries who are willing to work for less.
- 8:38At the same time, people in other countries naturally copy
- 8:41the methods and technologies of the leading power, which further
- 8:45reduces the leading powers competitiveness.
- 8:49For example, British shipbuilders had less expensive
- 8:53workers than Dutch shipbuilders, so they hired Dutch designers to
- 8:58design better ships that were built by less expensive British
- 9:03workers, making them more competitive, which led the
- 9:06British to rise and the Dutch to decline.
- 9:10Also, as people become richer, they tend not to work as hard.
- 9:14They enjoy more leisure, pursue the finer and less productive
- 9:18things in life, and at the extreme, become decadent.
- 9:23Values change from generation to generation during the rise to
- 9:27the top, from those who had to fight to achieve wealth and
- 9:30power to those who inherited it. They're less battle hardened,
- 9:35steeped in luxuries and accustomed to the easy life,
- 9:39which makes them more vulnerable to challenges.
- 9:42The golden era of the Dutch Empire.
- 9:50In the Victorian era of the British Empire were such high
- 9:59prosperity periods like this, as people get used to doing well,
- 10:05they increasingly bet on the good times continuing and borrow
- 10:09money to do that, which grows into financial bubbles.
- 10:14Naturally, the financial gains come unevenly, so the wealth gap
- 10:19grows. Wealth gaps are self reinforcing
- 10:22because rich people use their greater resources to reinforce
- 10:26their powers. For example, they give greater
- 10:30privileges to their children, like better education, and they
- 10:33influence the political system to their advantage.
- 10:37This causes the gaps in values, politics and opportunities to
- 10:42grow between the rich haves and the poor have nots.
- 10:48Those who are less well off feel the system is unfair, so
- 10:52resentments grow. But as long as the living
- 10:55standards of most people are still rising, these gaps and
- 10:59resentments don't boil over into conflict.
- 11:02Having the world's reserve currency inevitably leads to
- 11:06borrowing excessively and contributes to the country
- 11:09building up large debts with foreign lenders.
- 11:13While this boosts spending power over the short term, it weakens
- 11:18the country's financial health and weakens the currency over
- 11:22the long term. In other words, when borrowing
- 11:25and spending are strong, the empire appears very strong, but
- 11:30its finances are in fact being weakened.
- 11:34The borrowing sustains the country's power beyond its
- 11:37fundamentals by financing both domestic overconsumption and
- 11:42international military conflicts required to maintain the empire.
- 11:47What's happening right now should be statistically
- 11:51impossible. In one single week we've seen
- 11:54three separate 6 Sigma events. Bond, silver, gold, A6 Sigma
- 12:00move is supposed to happen once in like 500 million
- 12:04observations. That's how rare this is.
- 12:07Now watch this. Last week, Japanese 30 year
- 12:10bonds printed A6 Sigma, a session historic, on its own.
- 12:14Days later, silver went five Sigma on its rally, then six
- 12:19Sigma on the drop in the same session, and now gold is up 23%
- 12:25in under a month, pushing toward its own 6 Sigma move.
- 12:29That's three again. Three in one week.
- 12:31That is never happened. Never.
- 12:34And here's the key .6 Sigma events don't come from
- 12:38headlines, they come from structural stress, leverage,
- 12:42margin calls, collateral breaks for selling and forced buying.
- 12:47When stress starts in Japanese bonds, one of the core pillars
- 12:51of a global finance, it's spreads, leverage contracts.
- 12:55Some assets get liquidated, others get bought as protection.
- 13:00Historically, that protection is gold and silver.
- 13:02When bonds and precious metals break out at the same time, it's
- 13:07not noise. It's a monetary regime cracking.
- 13:11This is how paradigm shifts begin, and the moves that follow
- 13:14are violent. So pay attention.
- 13:17Bitcoin does a lot more with a lot less, and it appears we're
- 13:21on the cusp of Bitcoin going ballistic.
- 13:24We're about to bring it home today.
- 13:25But before we do, look at our likes 3 or 4 times maybe.
- 13:29I pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this

- 14:44So the money that's coming in here, Robin, one, it's larger
- 14:49than all the money in the 1st 13 years of Bitcoin's history.
- 14:53All the money that flowed into Bitcoin's history has been
- 14:57massively surpassed in volume terms and quality.
- 15:02I would actually build the case. It's better quality money, no
- 15:06offense to the old guys, but to the OGS, but it is better
- 15:10quality, has deeper roots. It doesn't get liquidated as
- 15:14easily and it's extremely well thought out.
- 15:18And that's I think what we're seeing here.
- 15:20We're seeing a slow movement of diversification away from other
- 15:25assets and into Bitcoin and or we're seeing fresh money move
- 15:30into Bitcoin that is coming out of those distribution models of
- 15:34bonds, real estates, private equity sales.
- 15:42And there's a lot of really good reasons why we have suffered on
- 15:44price here in the last six months.
- 15:47Very logical reasons. Most of those who I think were
- 15:50tax driven and they all came through the SBRS and everybody
- 15:55tried to get clever on the SBRS and they fucked up the Bitcoin
- 15:58position. So I'm, I'm dude, I'm as bullish
- 16:04as I was. When was the first time I was on
- 16:05the show 2 years ago, three years ago.
- 16:07I'm probably more bullish today than I was and and I've raised
- 16:12my I've raised my goal of how much Bitcoin I want to obtain.
- 16:16And by the way, I am absolutely shocked that I'm still able to
- 16:20buy it at 5 digits. You're not the only one,
- 16:23Cardone. Again, we are in the middle of
- 16:25the biggest opportunity and arbitrage of the century.
- 16:29We are approaching Tour de Meister's last support line at
- 16:3314 ounces of gold. At the same time, Bitcoin is
- 16:37nearing the end of its typical bear market against gold.
- 16:40And at the same time, Bitcoin verse gold just reached its head
- 16:45and shoulders target of 16 right as the bear market reaches its
- 16:48typical 14 month duration soon might be right Now here's
- 16:53something I found, something that could recalibrate your
- 16:56thinking. Bitcoin has never hit a true
- 16:58cycle peak while ISMPMI is below 50.
- 17:02There are no edge cases, no footnotes.
- 17:05It simply hasn't happened, and yet this entire move we're in
- 17:09right now is taking place under that line that tells you we're
- 17:14in a setup phase. PMI below 50 is when the economy
- 17:17slows, pressure builds, and liquidity quietly re enters the
- 17:21system. It's when positioning happens,
- 17:24not exits. This is the zone people
- 17:26consistently misunderstand. They confuse boredom with
- 17:31danger. They mistake consolidation for a
- 17:34top, then conditions shift, momentum returns, and Bitcoin
- 17:38does what it always does and suddenly everyone claims they
- 17:42saw it coming. So no, this isn't the end.
- 17:44It's the part right before the story changes.
- 17:47Book market will come back to this when the price is higher
- 17:50and the bears have been slaughtered and the possibility
- 17:54of World War 3 is higher than ever.
- 17:56Which is probably a good time to visit our new sponsor Set 123.
