Alasdair Macleod on why the next financial crisis will likely start in Europe

Alasdair Macleod, Head of Research at GoldMoney, is back on the show.
He comments on the recent Fed decisions and why it's too little too late. Alasdair expects high and persistent inflation even though the yield curve is flat. Interest rates will go up but due to high public and private debt levels across the world, and especially in Japan and Europe, society will not be able to handle those higher rates. This will trigger a new financial crisis emanating most likely first in Europe.
Alasdair doesn't see value in Bitcoin. Furthermore he thinks central bank digital currencies won't see the daylight, due to the risks they pose for financial stability and because of a strong bank lobby.

I wish someone would ask Alasdair how it is that his predictions vis-a-vis Basel 3 being implemented have failed to come to pass. It seems to me that is a huge miss on his part. The price of gold continues to languish.

Wow! Inflation has always been caused by Federal Reseve Money printing, quantitative easing (QE), QE squared raised to infinity, and printing money out of thin air, backed by nothing! Folks, its not that prices are rising, it is that the value of a dollar is flat-lining to zero!

Alasdair is the man with the future. Listen to him.

[@557.vision]

The „forgotten“ variable here is, they discussed money systems in a rational way - but forgot, that the crisis and the momentum driving it as well as the goals behind are far away from rationality, humanity and morality.

[@bruceegertson1191]

Good interview

[@deanchristie3829]

10:00 Prices in the bond are wrong? Not. The prices in the bond market are expectations of future growth and inflation, and the bond prices don't care about the past. Period. They measure future expectations. CPI measures the past 12 months. The mispricing is the prices of 12 months ago. Suppose CPI was calculated from the change in from prices 36 months ago (meaning before COVID) and divided by 3. CPI inflation would not be 7 per cent. If the future expectation of growth and inflation is 2 per cent, how do we get from here to there? Do you think inflation will be 7 per cent for each of the next ten years? What would that mean for economic growth (a 5 per cent contraction for each of the next ten years)?

[@StephanePasquierThailand]

if you cannot increase official rates in Europe and US above core inflation, the exponential increase of inflation cannot be stopped, and it's the end of the monetary system short term. Volker understood this.

Very interesting session. It's a real shame that Keynes isn't still around today as it's very possible that he would be saying no. Don't put my name on this lunacy. Politicians have jumped on the one point he made. I doubt he would support Politicians constantly quoting "stimulus" as an excuse to run deficits in both good times and bad to buy votes at the expense of future crisis and robbing poor and middle class alike of all savings.

The statement that bitcoin needs 5000 years to gain stability like gold is, well, just an assumption. Liquidity is a matter of space proximity and intensity and ease of commerce with regard to that space proximity. Gold maybe needed several thousands years to gain liquidity and stability because people who traded it were distant in space and trade was less frequent and harder in regard to long distances than today. Since bitcoin is just data on the internet and can be traded 24/7/365 globally and instantly these constraints almost do not matter. If we suppose the normal trading day on traditional market is 8 hours 5 days a week it meas there are 2280 (8*5*57) trading hours a year on traditional market. That means bitcoin's 12 years of trading globally equals 46.11 years of trading on traditional markets (105120÷2280)

[@robikanobi]

Good to interrupt this guy sometimes as he’s an old school artist but we’ve entered a new era. His explanation first 3/4 is great and after when he starts about Btc and gold his fundamentals aren’t valid anymore. Nobody can tell the future when thinking about Btc or gold. Gold has been hedge but it has to be mined and stored and there’s limited amount of it(on earth). Btc is pretty much the same and as a plus it’s much easier to transport, trade, and decentralized. Far more superior way of hedge. Only no history of 1000’s of years but hé the Indians didn’t have computers or the Aztecs
