I almost can’t take podcasts seriously anymore when they have a bunch of random ads at the beginning, especially when the product being advertised clearly has nothing to do with the podcaster.
Thankfully we now have an alternative to replace this addiction to advertising and consumerism.
The end of yield curve control only lasted for a couple of days. This should tell us everything about the fragility of these markets.

Beautiful apartment but insane prices. I lived in a tiny studio on Cornelia street not too long ago and paid $3300.
Is nostr immune to this kind of ‘attack’?
hahaha so true. I couldn’t get myself to watch his whole interview. It was too cringe and I felt too embarrassed for him
You have become very popular since starting to use Primal
The end of Japanese yield curve control is a fascinating tale.
What happened: The Japanese central bank has announced the end of yield curve control, the mechanism by which they buy sovereign bonds to 1) provide liquidity to the economy and 2) maintain low yields. While they have maintained the flexibility to intervene in case markets become too volatile, this is a major diversion from their decades long policy.
What's going to happen next: This will be fascinating to watch because there are multiple opposing forces at play:
- Higher yields should technically bring more Japanese money back from foreign bond markets to the domestic market. Usually this should result in an increase in the YEN vs. USD/EUR
- The initial reaction however, was in the opposite direction: the YEN is declining. The reason for this is likely because investors about the valuation of Japanese assets once they are no longer propped up by unlimited cash from the Japanese central bank.
- As money flows back into Japanese bonds, this should put pressure on US government bond prices which have been a main beneficiary of Japanese (and other foreign) money seeking yield.
The implications will be profound! Watch this space.
That’s exactly right, it reminds me of that David Foster Wallace pun he tells at his famous commencement speech:
Two fish run into each other. Says fish #1: “Hey Doug, how’s the water today?” and Doug’s response is: “What the hell is water?”
It’s like these people are so immersed in the broken paradigm, nay sometimes they are even benefitting from it, that it’s impossible for them to see what’s wrong with it.

When will #nostrica 2024 take place?
My reaction to that is to stop respecting them. Not necessarily healthy 😂
