Is Hyperinflation Coming? with Lyn Alden - WBD415

Role: Macroeconomist


Over the last 18 months, Bitcoin has had an astronomical rise,
not just in price. It has gone from a niche asset driven by
retail to being held on the balance sheet of some of the most
forward-thinking corporations in the world. Not only that, El
Salvador's groundbreaking legislation made Bitcoin legal
tender. 


During this time, the fiat currency experiment looks to be coming
apart at the seams. Over the last 18 months, more than $5
trillion dollars have been created in the US alone. This
increasing supply of money is driving prices higher. CPI in the
US is now at 5.4%, and while the FED continues to claim inflation
will be transitory, this looks highly doubtful.


How high will inflation go, and is bitcoin truly a hedge?


In this interview, I talk to macroeconomist and investment
strategist Lyn Alden. We discuss the rising commodities markets,
if we are likely to see wide-scale hyperinflation and the pros
& cons of Bitcoin futures ETFs.
