What Does The Fed Even Do? - FedWatch 12...

BTC MEDIA
About this episode

Hosts: Ansel Lindner and Christian Keroles


Fed Watch is a macro podcast like no other. We question narratives and schools of thought, trying to form our own understanding. Each episode we use current events to question mainstream and bitcoin narratives across the globe, with an emphasis on central banks and currencies.


In this episode, I’m joined by Nolan Bauerle, new host of Bitcoin Magazine Live. Our main topics of discussion are Jerome Powell and his Brookings Institute speech, and the growing conflict in Turkey. I had prepared some charts (you can see them in the linked slide deck above), but was not able to get to them due to time constraints. It’s a wide ranging discussion about societal signaling, monetary policy and even demographics.
