Bitcoin & The Crypto Market Could Be In Trouble As Economic Tensions Rise Around US Dollar Inflation

Added: 2026-06-04

[00:00:01]The cryptocurrency market is continuing to look a bit weird, at least as of late. There are a number of reasons for this, and it looks like looks like one of the things that we heard could actually help the cryptocurrency space might potentially not even actually happen at all because of a number of issues currently taking place behind the scenes. That's a very nice way of putting it.

[00:00:42]Welcome back to the channel where we talk about stuff.

[00:00:48]Don't forget to leave a like on the video. It helps out the algorithm. Very big thank you to everyone who is a clicker of affiliate links. The cryptocurrency market space still resides in the place of fear regarding a number of indexes because of huge amounts of uncertainty as we've been going over as of late.

[00:01:15]The second core reason why a lot of this is happening is because of inflation levels. So, we just recently went over this if you weren't here.

[00:01:30]Inflation's high.

[00:01:32]And it's higher than it's ever been, or dare I say even should be.

[00:01:39]This is now terrifying people.

[00:01:42]Investors because of the potential implications of what this could mean for interest rates going down, staying the same, or right or rising as we were just We are but a few weeks away from the expectations of what the new head of the Fed is actually going to do.

[00:02:07]As these events continue to unfold, it would appear that we in the cryptocurrency space, and I say this nicely and lightly, people keep pretending that the cryptocurrency space isn't tied to everything else. That was one of the major follies of 2019 to like 2025.

[00:02:35]If something major happens in the news, it affects all markets. There's a interesting idea that the cryptocurrency space wouldn't be affected because Bitcoin in essence is like meant to kind of be separate from everything else. So, that affects them and not us kind of things.

[00:02:56]But, if you have crazy world events going on, of course, Bitcoin's also going to react as well.

[00:03:02]The constant discussion now after hearing about how how terrible inflation is once again for last month is that we are expecting over the summer, if you didn't see around February, uh when the world events and conflicts began, was that, if you missed it, this is a real thing.

[00:03:28]For every day, every 24 hours that this continues, we basically are setting ourselves up for like an additional week of economic chaos.

[00:03:41]So, there are a number of well-known professional analysts who think that at this point we are probably not going to see proper recovery in like world markets until like spring or summer of next year. That's the current idea behind it.

[00:03:59]Sitting on its back is the idea of the Fed lowering in the interest rates and therefore causing a huge amount of what people are calling like economic recovery.

[00:04:12]And here's a Okay.

[00:04:16]So, if you haven't seen uh gold's price also has been struggling as of late. Gold's price isn't where it was before or we heard from a number of analysts that by the time we got to June, we'd be looking at a $6,000 piece of gold per ounce. And that's mainly because they are the same analysts who said by December we'd be at around a $10,000 uh piece of gold. The weird dest part of a lot of this is the the safe haven assets aren't acting at all like safe haven assets. If you don't know how it works, historically, if there are conflicts, if there are problems, if banks begin to fall, collapse, if inflation is really high, the dollar's not doing too good, gold and silver rise.

[00:05:13]Inflation is destroying the world. The economy's not looking too hot. Looks like we might have multiple economic bubbles at the exact same time.

[00:05:24]And gold and silver are also not performing as well.

[00:05:28]In that same bucket sits Bitcoin. Bitcoin's narrative the last 10 years has heavily revolved around this idea of Bitcoin being digital gold.

[00:05:41]So, in the long long ago, like if there was a if there were banks that collapsed, went down, weren't doing well, sold off their assets, if it looked like it could become a problem and other banks were also going to be affected. We've had this multiple times in the last decade if you haven't been paying attention.

[00:06:00]Bitcoin would rise in price.

[00:06:05]What we're seeing now is that Bitcoin's basically following uh I don't even want to say commodities, but like if everything else isn't doing too hot, then Bitcoin's price isn't doing too hot as well.

[00:06:18]This is now causing a lot of like they're not original investors. They're the Oh, you know what You know exactly who they are?

[00:06:27]So, remember like for years in the crypto space it was like just just us here. And then all of a sudden we had all these like mega millionaires who were like, "I've always loved Bitcoin. I I invited her to dinner last night. It was absolutely amazing." These people started moving into the market who told us that they've always loved Bitcoin even though you could find Wall Street Journal articles three and a half weeks before with them talking about how terrible Bitcoin was. Everyone started liking crypto.

[00:06:55]So, as I've stated, they don't they do not care about decentralization. They don't care about like moving to a new system. For them it's just about making as much money as quickly and as fast as humanly possible. This is why I keep mentioning Bitcoin's for the people and not for the wealthiest people on the planet cuz they're the people who got us into the 2008 2009 financial crisis.

[00:07:17]So, a lot of these people now, because the Bitcoin cryptocurrency market isn't moving up very fast, very high, and quick for them. A lot of these people are now, if you've seen it, a lot of these people now on TV talking negatively about crypto and they don't like it. Recently, uh a a big metric that people use and they shouldn't, but they do cuz they're trying to cause trouble within the world is Bitcoin ETFs.

[00:07:47]So, years ago we had the narrative that we needed rich people to get into the market. And then we had the idea that we need Bitcoin futures or the market wouldn't go anywhere. That turned into we need to have cryptocurrency custody or no one's going to get into the market. That one then became we need cryptocurrency ETFs. We got the ETFs and now the ETFs are kind of at like the the the center global focal point of a lot of crypto revolving around the idea that and this is how it works.

[00:08:18]An investor says, "I want 1,000 shares of BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF." BlackRock goes, "Here are the shares." And then BlackRock also subsequently buys up that equal amount of Bitcoin. So, they're holding the Bitcoin on behalf of the investor. That's how ETFs work. They're holding the underlying asset for what the ETF share says is basically on it.

[00:08:41]Everyone with me? Cool. Awesome. So, whenever we have had outflows of money from the ETF space, people usually see this as something negative because it's money that's leaving the actual asset. This would have been completely terrifying if over the last 29 times we hadn't seen the exact same things happening. What's the exact same thing? I know some of you know.

[00:09:07]Every time that there's been an outflow of money and money leaves and once again, I try my best not to be tinfoil hatty, but this is this is this is this is lining up.

[00:09:22]Every time that we see outflows happen a week later, a week later, that same amount of money flows back into the into the funds. How do we know this? Because we have on-chain analytical companies who go through all of this.

[00:09:37]We have people who follow the ETFs to to to a literal T and they see exactly what's going on with them. So, we've had many times before. I've shown you and other channels and yada yada but whatever.

[00:09:48]We'll get news that $22 million left of the the the crypto ETFs, which is like nothing compared to the like 60-70 billion that they have in their funds.

[00:09:58]22 million is like, "Oh my gosh, well, a penny fell." Like that kind of thing.

[00:10:03]And then we'll see 3 days later that another purchase from that same account for 22 million went back into the actual funds. You you you understand?

[00:10:14]I think personally that we are in the middle, the very middle, of very intense market manipulation right now.

[00:10:27]And I'll give you the backdrop for it.

[00:10:31]If Fidelity BlackRock JPMorgan ARK Invest analysts from Bloomberg and everyone else who we've been talking about under the sun have all had their charts showing by the end of the year Bitcoin's at uh-huh and then by the end of the year Ethereum's at right I feel like what's happening is is that any This is personal. Any sell-off that we're seeing is meant to cause fear in the market to give cheaper prices to the people whose charts are all showing the exact same thing.

[00:11:20]There were recently a huge amount of outflows uh from the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF. And the funny part is in a couple of days we're going to see that exact amount of money go back into the actual ETF as we always have before.

[00:11:36]The timing of it is a little bit weird for me just because we are currently at the breaking point where we are potentially going to hear if the Fed is going to lower interest rates.

[00:11:53]If everyone in the in the industry if everyone in the investing world has put their chips on Kevin O'Leary lowering interest rates, this would be a really good time to manipulate the market and cause prices to go a lower.

[00:12:08]If he does lower interest rates, this will cause asset prices to go a lot higher.

[00:12:15]That's my personal take on it.

[00:12:17]Everything seems a little bit too too too too aligned for me at this moment uh just because of certain circumstances. And I will add as well, >> [snorts] >> we've seen this before in the crypto space. This isn't anything relatively new.

[00:12:36]It's just more of a uh now it seems more obvious than ever as we move into the potential world of a million-dollar Bitcoin in the next 3 and 1/2 years. So, right now the uncertainty of course will persist. We will see what ends up happening over the course of the next few days. As I've stated in a number of other videos, I'm used to the 4-year cycle.

[00:13:08]If we're still in a 4-year cycle, it just gives extra time for accumulation.

[00:13:15]If we are in a 4-year cycle, by the time we get to 624847.

[00:13:23]By the time we get to the end of the year this year, this will then be the beginning of the next cycle upward. So, the 2028 is the next halving. What always happens is is that the market moves up slowly until we get to the next halving. The halving happens, prices begin to move a lot higher. This is when everyone gets into the market, all the retail investors, and then subsequently 2029 would be the next like gigantic fall off.

[00:13:50]So, either the market is going to go completely bananas and prices are about to move up because we're about to see lower interest rates, or we're still in the 4-year cycle, even though all these analysts said no, and basically we have us another half a year to a year to be able to accumulate at a slower pace as opposed to having to completely FOMO into the market.

[00:14:12]All the rules, all the regulations, all the things that we're getting, everything seems to line up and say that yes, we are going to go higher. I Well, we'll see if we get to a quarter of a million Bitcoin, but everything says yes, higher this year.

[00:14:27]We just need a couple of conflicts to end, and um the middle of June to see if we get lower interest rates.

[00:14:36]I try not to like excite myself because I I tell myself that I know where things are going, uh but we'll see when we get there. So, yeah.

[00:14:48]Hope you're all doing well. Hope everyone out there is uh doing fantastic. Hope you are remembering to drink water. It is um annoyingly warm already. That's a nice way of saying it. I I personally don't like warm weather, not that you needed to know that about me, but here we are.

[00:15:07]I prefer cooler days, dare I say winter.

[00:15:11]So, um I have a feeling this summer is going to be a little annoying. I do hope you've all enjoyed it. I do hope you all are having a great day, a great morning, a great afternoon, a great evening. Hope you're all remembering to invest. It's very important. You got to keep accumulating assets. That's how you get rich in the future. Thank you all What That was a loud snap. Thank you all once again for watching, for listening, for liking, commenting, and supporting, and I will most certainly be talking to you all soon.

[00:15:43]See you.
