CLIP
Trump wants lower rates and a booming economy. Douglas Padgett argues those goals fundamentally contradict each other. In this conversation, he explains why higher rates can actually add income to the economy, stimulate lending, and support growth rather than simply suppress it. He also makes the provocative case that today's higher-rate environment helped fuel the explosion in AI investment and innovation.

Izabella Kaminska argues they could help the US preserve global dollar dominance while bringing control over the underlying Treasury assets back onshore. And if stablecoins begin paying competitive yields, they could threaten one of the banking system’s most valuable remaining advantages: cheap deposits.SUPPORT⚡️LNMS on Lightning: lnms@ln.mtpelerin.com ₿ BTC-Address: bc1qmk7gfdnrdegnmnrtnacj6rslan0y6v29kdlf9p💵https://donate.stripe.com/9B600k5Tscv...Twint: https://go.twint.ch/1/e/tw?tw=acq.Z7L…LINKS 📰 LNMS Newsletter: https://lessnoisemoresignal.substack....🎧 LNMS on YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/4jfhr4zn🎧 LNMS on Apple: https://tinyurl.com/4apksnyn🎧 LNMS on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/ttha8kku🎧 LNMS on Rumble: https://tinyurl.com/4k96c7tw🎧 LNMS on Fountain: https://tinyurl.com/5dsbbj5p🌐 LNMS Website: https://www.lessnoise-moresignal.com/📖 Bitcoin Book: https://www.amazon.de/dp/1967693013SOCIALS Follow on X👉 https://x.com/pahuegFollow on Nostr 👉 https://primal.net/pascalFollow on LinkedIn 👉 / pascal-huegli

But could the same AI revolution also make Bitcoin more valuable? In this episode, Johan Bergman von The Bitcoin Layer and Pascal Hügli from Less Noise More Signal unpack the Liquid exploit, Bitcoin’s “Great Hardening,” and why AI could fundamentally reshape cybersecurity. Then They flip the thesis: the massive AI investment boom may actually strengthen the case for Bitcoin as the ultimate AI trade. They also break down where Bitcoin stands right now, why the four-year cycle may finally be dead, and the key levels that could decide what comes next: $70K, $80K and $90K. Is Bitcoin still in a bear market, or are the bears running out of time?

In this market update, we break down the signals that matter most right now: Bitcoin reclaiming key technical levels, short-term holders taking profits, institutional demand returning, improving sentiment, and the macro backdrop that could decide the next major move. We also look at why $60K may already be behind us, what still needs to happen before a new bull market is confirmed, and whether MSTR’s weakness against BTC is actually a warning sign.SUPPORT⚡️LNMS on Lightning: lnms@ln.mtpelerin.com₿ BTC-Address: bc1qmk7gfdnrdegnmnrtnacj6rslan0y6v29kdlf9pStripe: https://buy.stripe.com/9B600k5Tscv33Ue4zRdby00Twint: https://go.twint.ch/1/e/tw?tw=acq.Z7L1opJwS72nbGgEMY4w3ILkf67JAEyEFmXrtoKoUbONWSsjLDDQIhNx5ReanPy7.LINKS 📰 LNMS Newsletter: https://lessnoisemoresignal.substack....🎧 LNMS on Apple: https://tinyurl.com/4apksnyn🎧 LNMS on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/ttha8kku🎧 LNMS on Rumble: https://tinyurl.com/4k96c7tw🎧 LNMS on Fountain: https://tinyurl.com/5dsbbj5p🌐 LNMS Website: https://www.lessnoise-moresignal.com/📖 Bitcoin Book: https://www.amazon.de/dp/1967693013🎧 LNMS on YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/4jfhr4znSOCIALSFollow on X👉 https://x.com/pahuegFollow on Nostr 👉 https://primal.net/pascalFollow on LinkedIn 👉 / pascal-huegli CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Bitcoin Liquid Network Update00:29 Upcoming Video with Johan Bergmann on Bitcoin Layer01:19 Bitcoin Market Overview and Macro Context02:11 Valuation Approaches for Bitcoin02:39 Macro Factors: Oil Prices and Central Bank Policies03:08 Impact of Oil Prices on Inflation and Monetary Policy04:03 Long End Yields and Market Expectations05:28 Liquidity and Market Volatility Indicators07:22 Liquidity Model Insights and Market Conditions08:18 Growth, Inflation, and Risk Asset Outlook09:12 Potential Market Scenarios Based on Growth and Oil10:08 Correlation Between Oil, Gold, and Bitcoin11:06 Technical Support and Resistance Levels for Bitcoin12:28 Bitcoin's Moving Averages and Historical Patterns14:16 On-Chain Analysis: Investor Behavior and Profit-Taking17:36 Sentiment Indicators and Market Psychology20:21 Market Narrative and Sentiment Shifts22:23 Tracking BTC inflows into leveraged products24:12 Performance comparison: MSTR vs BTC26:33 Market outlook and investment strategiesDisclaimerThe publications on this website and in these videos, including any references and links, are provided for information purposes only and do not constitute investment advice, investment analysis, or an offer or recommendation to buy or sell financial instruments.
