Powerful Insights From Arthur Hayes:

“For those who just want to close their eyes and buy something that’s crypto safe, not saying that there’s no risk here, I would say bitcoin and ethereum are where you should start your journey.”

“That is why if the government and the elites want to stay in sort of this financial position, the ETF is the best thing that they can do because people believe that they’ve achieved financial freedom when they actually have just handed over fees to the same people who have been fucking them for the past 80 years anyways.”

“So if you looked at the regional bank stock index, or KBW index, which is all US banks, they’re getting crushed going into late October of last year. And so what happened? The US treasury and Janet Yellen, she said, okay, I’m going to save this market. I’m going to issue a bunch of short term debt and take money out of the reverse repo program at the Fed, which is just this $2 trillion facility of cash just sitting there that’s outside of the financial system. And she offered a higher rate on short term treasury bills to entice this money out, which reflates the system, gives more credit money into the system.”

“People shouldn’t be dying the way they’re dying based on the shitty food that we eat and the over prescribed medicines. And that’s why people need, oh, I need to have this health care because everybody gets sick. Why does everyone get sick? Because we eat fucking processed food and all this dog shit that’s put out to us as healthy is a reason why everybody spends the majority of their money in the last two years of their life dying of horrible cancers and heart disease and all this kind of shit, right? We’re poisoning ourselves every single day with these fucked up food chains.”
