?? Crypto AltSeason & Rate Cuts Incoming! ??

Introduction

Hello, everybody! Today is Wednesday, and this video is a bit different from our usual ones. However, it’s packed with essential information and some concerning signals. Let's dive in! This episode is called "Cuts Incoming," but other things are incoming too, like altseason. We will do a couple of faceoffs, look at some macroeconomics, examine new routes around the globe, and even explore how politicians make so much money. Additionally, there’s plenty of Bitcoin-related discussion about liquidity and much more! Let's jump in and big thanks to our moderators and everyone for being here.

Fear and Greed Index & Bitcoin Update

At the time of recording, the Fear and Greed Index is sitting at 61. Bitcoin experienced a sudden drop to about 64,157 then to 645 before bouncing back. There are some nerves in the Bitcoin ecosystem, which we will delve into later. This isn't financial advice, but we have some insights and forecasts that could be life-changing.

Global Liquidity & Bitcoin Price

I call this chart "the symphony." It clearly shows a direct correlation between global liquidity (yellow) and the price of Bitcoin (blue). As global liquidity rises, so does Bitcoin. This is good news because global liquidity continues to increase, foreshadowing higher Bitcoin prices.

Federal Reserve & Rate Cuts

Recently, the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged but signaled that cuts to borrowing costs will begin soon. The big question is whether these cuts will happen before September, which is unlikely. However, when they come, they will form part of the 'perfect storm' for crypto and tech stocks.

Scary Economic Indicators

New hires in the U.S. have tanked since 2022. This trend is quite alarming and signals a significant slowdown in hiring, potentially lasting more than six months. This will extend even if the Federal Reserve opens the money-printing floodgates or cuts rates significantly.

The Freddie Mac price index paints a worrying picture for U.S. house prices, which are dropping rapidly. This typically signals an oncoming recession. Meanwhile, public debt has hit an all-time high, with the U.S. adding billions in debt daily.

Bitcoin Performance

Despite being in a brutal bear market, Bitcoin boasts a four-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 55%. This shows its strength and potential for continued upward movement as global liquidity improves.

Bitcoin ETFs & Mount Gox

Bitcoin ETFs have amassed 300,000 Bitcoin since January. This bodes well for long-term price stability. Meanwhile, the market barely reacted to recent transfers of funds from the defunct Japanese exchange, Mount Gox.

Bitcoin for Global Change

A thought-provoking statistic came up showing that if nations accumulate Bitcoin, it could reduce wars as Bitcoin can't be forcefully taken.

Institutional Involvement

There's excitement about potential governmental involvement in Bitcoin, although there are mixed feelings about BlackRock and other big players getting into Bitcoin. However, their involvement would likely push prices higher.

Altcoins & Layer 2 Solutions

Altseason appears to be near, with evident interest in non-Ethereum blockchains like Bitcoin, Binance, and Cosmos by Arbitrum. Also, Eclipse has launched a Solana-powered Ethereum Layer 2 solution that promises Ethereum’s security combined with Solana’s speed and low cost.

Politician Investments

Nancy Pelosi purchased $ 1.3 million worth of Nvidia stock, highlighting how politicians often make highly profitable investments.

Employment & Revenue Efficiency

The number of employees needed to generate $ 1 million in revenue in the S&P 500 has dropped from eight to two due to technological advancements, including AI.

China’s Dominance in Critical Minerals

China leads the world in the production of essential minerals, a fact that could have wide-ranging implications.
