You break my brain, every post.

It's good. I just go to the dog park looking like I've been hit by a coconut.

What you mention about Chinese car exports to Mexico made a huge click in my limited macro-knowledge. I live in Monterrey, N.L., Mexico, and more and more Chinese dealerships are appearing on the main avenues, and much faster than the Hyundai-KIA sisters.

Very good reading.

Cheers!

I knew a Yen essay was coming when Bad Gurl Yellen made stern comments about BOJs yen intervention.

Thank you Arthur! It's a bit boring about the Yen and CNY. Please write about Crypto and Trump and Bitcoin and Ordinals and Runes and how Bitcoin and ETH ETFs will save the USA maybe😆 and the potential scenario of a BRICS Stablecoin backed by Gold and other assets.

"Losing that amount of money is game over for the con job the BOJ runs on yen holders. The BOJ holds only $32.25 billion worth of equity capital. Not even crypto degens trade with as much leverage as the BOJ." I don't get this part -- didn't the BOJ print the money to buy the bonds and the bonds can be thought of as "retired"?
