Shiba Inu And Other Fungus Growing On Our Economy
In my latest podcast, I point to what a bad omen I think the Shiba Inu run-up is - and why I think crypto is going to end in cataclysm at some point.
On my latest podcast I take a cold, hard, sober (not actually sober) look at:
How Shiba Inu and the rest of the crypto market has been quietly intertwining itself with our financial system. I lay out why, and how, I believe this to be a potential Achilles Heel in the making for the global economy.
I also talk about updates to the Tesla gamma squeeze saga, and point out how peculiar I think it is that Tesla is the one stock that has driven Cathie Wood’s success. What would her track record be ex-Tesla? How have the rest of the picks from her “Innovation” ETF faring?
I update my uranium bull case slightly, noting some recent developments in Japan that seem positive for nuclear power.
Finally, George Gammon was also kicked off YouTube this week, before being reinstated. I go to bat for both George and Anthony Pompliano, who also had the same issue weeks ago. Most importantly, I talk about - censorship argument aside - why this is just bad business practice for Google.

Additionally, I posted two new interviews this week about finding stocks in the shipping industry, which you can start by reading Part 1 here:
Finally, I laid out several of my assertions about crypto on Twitter this week, noting that I saw it mostly as a blowoff valve for liquidity:
And that there will be real pain when the “asset class” encounters its first real crash:

Chris, great episode. In the littany of issues around Bitcoin and crypto, two issues not mentioned are the energy (electricity) consumption, and silicon (chip) demand from Proof of Work mining. I'd be very interested in hearing a sane conversation about the energy consumption and more importantly its impact on our electricity bills. Whenever this topic comes up, coiners rant about how much power the VISA and MC data centers consume, and completely dodge the obvious issues. A neutral viewpoint from somebody in the industry would be a breath of fresh air.
