Show Notes
In this episode, we examine the growing disconnect between the Federal Reserve’s 2% inflation target and the actual behavior of global markets. While the Fed continues to claim price stability, data from the past 15 years shows that nearly everything has doubled in price—well beyond 2% annually. We explore why this matters, how it distorts monetary policy, and why Bitcoin continues to stand out as a hedge against this financial fiction. We also take a close look at the long-term compounding effects of inflation on housing, energy, services, and equity markets. Historical CPI trends, when matched against Bitcoin’s growth and the Fed’s expanding balance sheet, reveal a deeper story about purchasing power and monetary control. The episode ends with reflections on global monetary coordination, foreign central banks pulling back from U.S. debt, and what happens when confidence in the system finally starts to erode.
