The script discusses the ongoing banking crisis and the global financial system's instability. It highlights the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes, which have increased by 4.5% since January 2021, marking the fastest increase in history. Despite banks collapsing and financial turmoil, Bitcoin has surged by nearly 70% this year. The script also mentions a speculative bet on Bitcoin reaching a million dollars, which is deemed unlikely and undesirable due to its inflationary implications. Furthermore, it points out the Fed's balance sheet expansion, which has counteracted months of progress, and the acquisition of Credit Suisse by UBS. The narrative suggests that more bank collapses are imminent, and the Fed's new backstop plan to inject up to two trillion dollars into the system is introduced. The script also touches on China's rate cut to boost its economy post-pandemic and the US government's spending plans, which are expected to exacerbate inflation and national debt issues. It concludes with the potential shift towards hard assets like stocks, cryptocurrencies, and gold as a hedge against currency devaluation.

Keywords

πŸ’‘Banking tsunamis

The term 'banking tsunamis' metaphorically describes a series of significant disruptions or crises in the banking sector, akin to the devastating impact of a tsunami. In the video's context, it refers to the ongoing financial instability and the collapse of banks, which is a central theme of the video.

πŸ’‘Federal funds rate

The federal funds rate is the interest rate at which depository institutions lend balances to each other overnight. The video discusses its increase from 0.25 percent to 4.75 percent since January 2021, highlighting the fastest increase in history, which is a key factor contributing to the banking crises discussed.

πŸ’‘Quantitative easing

Quantitative easing is a monetary policy used by central banks to inject liquidity into the economy by purchasing government securities or other securities from the market. The video mentions that some argue the recent actions by banks are not quantitative easing, as the money is going into banks rather than directly to the public, but the script implies that the effect is similar, leading to inflation.

πŸ’‘Inflation

Inflation refers to the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and subsequently, the purchasing power of currency is falling. The video discusses how the actions of central banks, such as increasing the money supply, are leading to continued inflation.

πŸ’‘Bitcoin

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that operates without a central bank or single administrator. The video mentions a significant increase in Bitcoin's value and discusses its potential as a hedge against inflation and traditional financial systems.

πŸ’‘Debt ceiling

The debt ceiling is the limit on the amount of money that the U.S. federal government is allowed to borrow to cover the budget deficit. The video mentions an upcoming deadline for raising the debt ceiling, which is a critical event that could impact the economy and financial markets.

πŸ’‘FedNow

FedNow is a proposed real-time payment and settlement service by the Federal Reserve. The video suggests that the launch of FedNow, coinciding with economic instability, could be a catalyst for the adoption of a central bank digital currency (CBDC).

πŸ’‘Bearish divergence

Bearish divergence is a technical analysis term that occurs when the price of an asset makes a new high, but a technical indicator does not confirm this new high, suggesting a potential reversal in the upward trend. The video discusses a possible bearish divergence in Bitcoin's price, indicating a potential short-term retracement.

πŸ’‘Fibonacci level

Fibonacci levels are a set of ratios used in trading to identify potential support and resistance levels in financial markets. The video uses the term to suggest a potential price target for Bitcoin if it experiences a retracement, indicating a level where buying pressure might increase.

πŸ’‘Hard assets

Hard assets are tangible, physical assets like real estate, precious metals, and commodities that hold value and can act as a hedge against inflation. The video suggests that investors might move out of the dollar and into hard assets like stocks, cryptocurrencies, or gold as a response to the devaluing currency.

πŸ’‘Gold deposit

A gold deposit refers to a discovery of a large amount of gold in the Earth. The video mentions a significant gold deposit found in China, which could increase the supply of gold and potentially decrease its value per ounce, contrasting with Bitcoin's fixed supply cap.

the banking tsunamis continue to Ripple

play00:06

across the globe as governments around

play00:08

the world try to patch together the

play00:10

broken system with Band-Aids and bubble

play00:12

gum the federal funds rate has gone up

play00:14

from 0.25 percent to 4.75 since January

play00:18

of 2021 meaning that the interest rate

play00:21

has increased by 4.5 percent but it has

play00:24

gone up by 1 800 percent of what it was

play00:28

before

play00:29

this is the fastest increase in history

play00:31

and never before has the FED raised

play00:33

interest rates so drastically from such

play00:35

a low level this is why the banks are

play00:37

collapsing and we're starting to see

play00:38

some pretty crazy things happening in

play00:40

the system but meanwhile Bitcoin has

play00:42

seen a pump of nearly 70 percent so far

play00:45

this year you may have even heard that

play00:47

somebody placed a two million dollar bet

play00:49

that Bitcoin would reach a million

play00:51

dollars in the next 90 days and while

play00:53

this is absolutely insane and is

play00:56

definitely not going to happen we don't

play00:57

want it to happen anyway because if it

play00:59

did then Bitcoin while it may be worth a

play01:02

million dollars a million dollars

play01:03

wouldn't be able to buy you really much

play01:05

of anything

play01:06

but that's not to say that we're not

play01:07

going to be seeing some gains because

play01:09

there's a lot of liquidity that's been

play01:11

pouring back into the markets right here

play01:12

we have a chart of the fed's balance

play01:14

sheet and as you can see it has

play01:16

increased by about 300 billion dollars

play01:18

in the past week or so erasing all of

play01:20

the progress that they've made for about

play01:22

the past four months a lot of people

play01:24

have been saying that this isn't

play01:26

quantitative easing because it's going

play01:27

into the banks and not directly to the

play01:29

public but this money has to come from

play01:31

somewhere and they're just printing it

play01:33

this is devaluing the denominator being

play01:36

the dollar and meaning that inflation is

play01:38

going to continue and they're not

play01:39

getting it down to two percent

play01:41

at the same time as you may have heard

play01:44

Credit Suisse was supposed to borrow

play01:45

about 54 billion dollars from the Swiss

play01:48

Central Bank but that just wasn't enough

play01:50

because as you can see we've got news

play01:52

today that UBS has bought Credit Suisse

play01:55

for about 3.2 billion dollars

play01:57

but don't worry because that's not going

play01:59

to be the only Bank to collapse or the

play02:01

last one either more than 186 U.S banks

play02:04

are well positioned to collapse

play02:06

according to this article by

play02:07

cointelegraph and to deal with this

play02:09

issue the FED has put together a new

play02:12

backstop that has a scope to inject as

play02:14

much as two trillion dollars into the

play02:16

system and if that's not enough don't

play02:19

worry because it's not just here in

play02:20

America China has recently made a

play02:23

surprise rate cut to boost their banking

play02:25

liquidity and their economy because

play02:27

they've just reopened from the covet

play02:28

crisis and they're just trying to get

play02:30

ahead of the game and like I've said

play02:32

many times in the past it's not just

play02:34

that the FED can't get inflation down to

play02:37

two percent because the government's not

play02:38

going to stop spending anyway according

play02:41

to this article by reason

play02:43

the president aspires to spend around

play02:45

6.9 trillion dollars next year and 10

play02:48

trillion dollars by 2033

play02:51

apparently he hopes to raise

play02:53

taxes by about 4.7 trillion dollars over

play02:57

the next 10 years

play02:58

but that's not even going to be a drop

play03:00

in the bucket and we're definitely going

play03:01

to have to print money because if they

play03:03

keep spending 6.9 trillion dollars a

play03:06

year and the national debt is already 31

play03:08

trillion dollars then how are we going

play03:10

to service that debt with interest rates

play03:12

being at five percent or higher

play03:14

and with us supposedly heading into a

play03:16

global recession there's no way that

play03:18

they're going to be able to raise taxes

play03:19

because like I've said so many times in

play03:21

the past taxes have to actually come

play03:23

from profits somewhere and with the

play03:25

global economy slowing down we're not

play03:27

making more money than we were last year

play03:29

so we can't bring in more taxes so this

play03:32

is going to lead people to rush out of

play03:34

the dollar and into hard assets like

play03:36

stocks or cryptocurrencies that are

play03:38

decentralized and maybe even gold

play03:41

but it's not just governments around the

play03:43

world that have been printing money it's

play03:45

also the Earth apparently because as

play03:47

this article by the citizen says China

play03:49

has discovered a huge gold deposit

play03:51

around three trillion dollars so that's

play03:53

three trillion dollars that has just

play03:54

been added to the supply of gold

play03:57

meaning that each ounce of gold around

play03:59

the world has just dropped in value

play04:00

proportionally this hasn't showed up in

play04:03

the charts yet because it hasn't been

play04:04

dug out of the ground obviously but it

play04:07

is there and it definitely should come

play04:08

into consideration whenever you consider

play04:11

how much an ounce of gold should be

play04:13

worth this can't happen with Bitcoin

play04:14

though because Bitcoin has a cap of 21

play04:17

million coins obviously and no more than

play04:19

that can be created or found in the dirt

play04:22

or anything like that

play04:24

so as the government continues to print

play04:25

and more gold becomes available all the

play04:28

time I do believe that Bitcoin is going

play04:30

to continue making higher highs in the

play04:32

long run and it's really going to be the

play04:34

only way to escape the traditional

play04:36

Finance system

play04:37

in the short term though as you can see

play04:39

looking at this chart on the four hour

play04:41

we do have a possible bearish Divergence

play04:44

that's forming here with these lower

play04:46

highs on the RSI and these higher highs

play04:48

here on the price

play04:51

and a possible book and a possible

play04:54

Rising wedge which is a bearish

play04:55

indicator with about a 10 failure rate

play04:58

and a price target of the bottom of the

play05:00

wedge this would bring us down to the 50

play05:02

Fibonacci level

play05:04

at about twenty four thousand dollars

play05:06

which would bring us below twenty five

play05:08

thousand causing a lot of people to

play05:10

panic but it would only be a decline of

play05:12

about fifteen percent from the high that

play05:14

we've just seen I think this would be a

play05:16

healthy retracement and it probably

play05:18

would be a time for a cool off anyway

play05:20

and with people thinking that the FED

play05:22

might actually do a pause if we do see

play05:24

them do a 25 basis point hike which is

play05:27

actually probably to be expected then

play05:30

this could be enough to send us down for

play05:32

a short-term retracement which like I

play05:34

said would be healthy to do anyway

play05:36

however this doesn't mean that we're

play05:37

going to stop going to the upside from

play05:40

here because like I said the

play05:41

government's probably going to continue

play05:43

spending money as they always do and

play05:45

that means that they're going to

play05:46

continue devaluing the dollar and

play05:48

Bitcoin is going to continue to rise

play05:50

especially since we have the debt

play05:52

ceiling limit deadline coming up in July

play05:54

and we're going to have to raise the

play05:56

debt ceiling obviously or we're going to

play05:58

default on our debts

play06:00

this is coinciding pretty much perfectly

play06:02

with this article by cointelegraph that

play06:04

says that the Federal Reserve confirms a

play06:07

July launch for its fed now instant

play06:09

payment service which is a cbdc this

play06:12

along with the banks collapsing and the

play06:14

economy falling into a whole could be a

play06:16

perfect excuse for the FED to roll out

play06:18

this cbdc and for people to actually

play06:21

adopt it that's a pretty terrifying

play06:23

thought and it's actually a scary

play06:25

coincidence that all of this these

play06:27

things seem to be lining up at the same

play06:28

time in July it's almost like it's all

play06:30

part of the plan let me know what you

play06:32

guys think in the comments either way

play06:33

play06:35
