[CryptoButthead.com , msc, mschro, February 7, 2024] Howdy folks! It’s your favorite financial frontiersmen, Ash and Booker, back at it again in this whirlwind of a year, 2024. Now, grab a seat and maybe a strong drink, ’cause we’ve got a tale that’s as tangled as a bowl of spaghetti.
First off, let’s talk turkey about the U.S. of A’s financial fiasco. We’re talkin’ a record $17.5 trillion in household debt, folks. That’s trillion with a “T,” like “Trouble” or “Tarnation.” Mortgages are stackin’ up to $12.3 trillion, auto loans revvin’ up to $1.6 trillion, student loans sittin’ pretty at another $1.6 trillion, and credit card debt? Oh, that’s just a cool $1.1 trillion. And just for kicks, total mortgage debt has more than doubled since the 2006 peak, and credit card debt’s up 50% since 2020.
Now, with delinquency rates hittin’ their highest since the 2008 financial crisis, it seems like consumers are “fightin'” inflation with debt. Ash, what’s your take on this?
Ash: Well, Booker, it’s like tryin’ to put out a fire with gasoline. This can’t end well. But you know what? It’s not all doom and gloom on our end, ’cause we’ve got our eyes on the crypto horizon.
Booker: Right you are, Ash. Speaking of which, there’s been some chatter about a potential downside correction in the crypto market, especially with the U.S. Federal Reserve playin’ hard to get with those rate cuts. Bitfinex’s head honcho, Jag Kooner, mentioned that the market’s a bit too optimistic, thinkin’ the Fed’s gonna go easy on us.
Ash: Yeah, and with Jerome Powell, the Fed Chair, sayin’ a rate cut in March is about as likely as a snowball’s chance in Texas, we’re lookin’ at some ruffled feathers in the financial markets.
Booker: But here’s the kicker, folks. Despite all this talk of risk-off sentiment and market corrections, let’s not forget that Bitcoin ain’t just any ol’ asset. It’s as resilient as a cockroach at a nuclear showdown.
Ash: (Laughs) That’s one way to put it, Booker. And with folks like Trump vowin’ to keep the government’s mitts off our digital dollars and Argentina’s Milei preachin’ the gospel of free market capitalism, it’s clear that not everyone’s drinkin’ the Kool-Aid of central control and socialism.
Booker: Amen to that, brother. So, while the markets might be shakin’ like a leaf on a tree, we’re standin’ firm with our crypto investments. Bitcoin, Ethereum, you name it. Everything below the all-time high is a discount in our book.
So here’s to HODLing through the highs and lows, friends. Cheers to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the unshakable spirit of the crypto community! We’ll be back, Friends ! Over and out.
