You all own a little #Bitcoin  just in case, right?

Right?

I think the time change messed up the scheduler on my Substack.

It’s out now. An important one!

SVB had a Moody’s credit rating of A just 3 days ago.

The White House 'monitoring SVB for possible contagion' is like a field donkey watching for a hurricane on the weather channel.

Leverage in the system is piano wire tight. One tweak in the wrong direction…

Honestly, we used a U.S. LIBOR rate when I set derivative pricing. London is not as in control as you may imagine. And Eurodollars are just US denominated debt in foreign banks. = more USD demand.

SOFR is happening because of bad LIBOR actors.

I would say, don’t overthink the Fed intent. They know they MUST tame inflation first. Even if it means they have to print their way out of a recession later.

Hyperinflation is not an option. Period.

Run on one bank → credit event → contagion → imminent financial system collapse → QE infinity

Buy #Bitcoin

Asking Jamie Dimon about #Bitcoin  is like asking Mark Zuckerberg about TikTok. Neither will ever be objective or truthful about the disruption at their doorstep.

I like the idea. Working on a few things and may have to move from Substack to allow for options like that.
