Lyn Alden on Japan's Unwinding, US Recession & Social Unrest

Lyn Alden is a macroeconomist, investment strategist and General Partner at Ego Death Capital. In this interview, we discuss the unwinding of the Japan carry trade, the Fed cutting interest rates, how broken money leads to social unrest and what all of this means for Bitcoin.

“It’s much harder to have debates over fiscal policy than it is to have over social war stuff. So, when the fiscal policy or just the overall economic situation gets messier, fewer people are able to articulate it. So, they’re articulated in more visible ways, more social ways. That’s where a lot of that anger gets expressed.”
