CENTRAL BANK NEWS
The Bank of Japan has been doing some wild things recently with monetary policy.
But how has it affected the US Treasury market? And perhaps more importantly, are the BoJ's antics a sign of what's to come from our own Fed?

Keep a watch on it, if it goes above 158, expect to start seeing a Global Margin Call selling back all the carry trade positions. The snowball turns into an avalanche that brings down the world economy.

If you’ve never heard of a debt spiral, it’s time you did,
and ask the question, "is the US already in one?"
Let’s dig in and answer that.

Sweden's central bank needs a taxpayer bailout.
Joining the Bank of England who got $35 billion last year as central bankers come for taxpayers who are beyond tapped out.
The numbers for the Fed are a lot bigger -- over a trillion in the hole.

In this video, I discuss the Swedish central bank (Sveriges Riksbank) blowing itself up through its own incompetence and needing a $7 billion bailout.
The Swedish central bank goes bust, comes in for a $7 billion taxpayer bailout.
Given Sweden's size, that's $260 billion in relative US terms. In one year. Of course piled on top of Sweden's deficit.
We'll see a lot more of this to come. In fact, the Fed's well past bankrupt, with $1 trillion in negative equity. Silicon Valley Bank got wound up when it was $20 billion in the hole. The Fed just redefines accounting definitions while sticking taxpayers with the bill.

Auto Loan Industry Is Going From Bad to Worse: ‘Everyone’s Getting Out’
Veteran financial analyst @HedgeyeFIG addressed unsettling news from Credit Acceptance Corp $CACC and what it means for the overall lending environment this morning on The Call @Hedgeye with CEO @KeithMcCullough.
Trying to make a point.
Do you sell that garlic and if so is it moved far away?
If not then you probably won't see much use in crypto but if so, gold/silver trasnactions are very expensive and insecure when made over long distances.
If you're not making local purchases you have to trust a 3rd party to secure your gold/silver transactions and not manipulate the transaction in anyway, That 3rd party then becomes a bank. Banks always eventually manipulate finances in their favor by lying, stealing, litigation, etc. This is how the cycle always has restarted since the dawn of civilization. Crypto breaks that cycle and will be the preferred payment for long distances. Crypto breaks the banks. But for local economies gold/silver/precious metals will remain useful and crypto won't be necessary.
Look into Theta coin. It is a business a technology with patents. Example of a coin with a use. Its investing in a technology.
Crypto does not fall in this since it is issued internationally from the get go. Even the majority of gold/silver is centralized around.... Central Banks so you can't escape them depending entirely on gold/silver.
Any "crypto" that doesn't do this is worthless. This is easily checked by the open source code (best reasurrence), white paper about the crypto, or just looking it up on forums/YouTube/coinmarketcap/twitter/etc.
If there is demand for the crypto that is not just generated on making a quick buck but instead in a long term vision or having a stable currency, that is a value you want. Dont speculate on what is said to excite, look at history and past actions.
The intrinsic value.
Intrinsic - Of or relating to the essential nature of a thing; inherent. What is the inherent nature of crypto A or B? You got to research that because cryptos can be wildly different in the essence of what they're for in that moment.
Any crypto that has done any of these things is broken and useless
You can ask how to make this work and that leads to...
Large Decentralized Payment Validators - Many people checking each others ledgers and making sure there's no fudging the numbers. Also being relatively inexpensive and doable for a household to join and and contribute to blockchain validation is important.
Decentralized Wallet Distribution - The crypto is not owned by one person but many people in varying amounts. No entity should have an overwhelming majority of the crypto or else it's time to move on.
The more people buy/selling/holding a crypto while overall that crypto also has a more linear/even wallet distribution, the less instability you will see in the price. There is still relatively little money in crypto compared to the world market and the number of people who own/use crypto is still relatively small. As it grows and cements its place in the world economy, the price will get more stable.
On the other hand, if a crypto majorly fucks up, maybe someone ends up owning a majority of the validators or coins (which you would see way ahead of time since everyone can audit transactions on blockchain explorers), you can take a copy of that blockchain and iterate on it to solve the problem. This I think is important. There will always be cycles where eventually a few own the majority of everything and open source code and the free market (or your neighbor) gives people a choice of where to go to. Govt can shut down exchanges but they won't be able to shut down people trading crypto person to person worldwide.
If certain blockchains have (m)any hacks happen on Dapps in the blockchain ecosystem, that's a huge problem. The code is either written badly, the programming language used for smart contracts is majorly flawed, or both!
