Lower Rates Aren’t a Prerequisite for Bitcoin’s Success, Sam Callahan Says

The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge shows the U.S. dollar has shed at least 20% of its buying power in just five years. Sam Callahan makes the case that financial repression is already under way, pointing to core PCE averaging 3.7% and a record drawdown for U.S. bonds. In his telling, the policy is “working great. It’s just not working for the people.”
