Veteran macro strategist Raoul Pal has issued a stark warning about the future of fiat currencies, suggesting that the U.S. debt burden, aging demographics, and central bank interventions are setting the stage for long-term currency debasement and positioning Bitcoin (BTC) as the ultimate hedge. Pal, founder of Global Macro Investor and Real Vision, shared two key macroeconomic charts that he believes are being largely overlooked. “These charts are everything,” he stated, arguing that demographics, not fiscal policy, are the true driver of sovereign debt. The first chart compares the U.S. labor force participation rate with U.S. government debt as a…

Adam Back has endorsed a new term to be used to value bitcoin (BTC) treasury companies like MicroStrategy, MetaPlanet, Semler Scientific, Twenty One, or Nakamoto: mNAV months-to-cover. The term somehow forecasts the number of months it will take a company to “cover” or “make up” for its otherwise high multiple-to-net asset value (mNAV). For new readers unaccustomed to the world of public companies holding magic internet money, these companies often trade at a multiple of their so-called net assets, which are just BTC. Even though public companies don’t have a net asset value, a controlled term, Bitcoiners have colloquially appropriated…
