TD₿: What's Next for Bitcoin and the Economy? - (a Swan Signal Live video) with Brady Swenson, John Haar, Steven Lubka and Brandon Quittem
TL;DR: Bitcoin thrives as fiscal dominance drives inflation and rate cuts while the Fed loses control of economic levers. With Trump’s pro-Bitcoin policies on the horizon, the sky is the limit!
Hey Bitcoiners,
In today’s video, we cover how the setup for Bitcoin in 2024 is undeniably bullish, driven by a confluence of macroeconomic factors. Recent jobs data highlighted the paradox where strong economic performance delays Fed rate cuts, suppressing traditional asset prices.
Yet, Bitcoin rebounded even as equities remained low, signaling strong demand or its growing role as an inflation hedge.
Political pressure on the Fed to cut rates, especially under a new administration, is likely to inject liquidity into markets, boosting financial assets like Bitcoin. Additionally, the breakdown of traditional market relationships—where bonds and equities no longer provide diversification—further emphasizes Bitcoin’s appeal as a unique, uncorrelated asset.
Fiscal dominance is another key driver. Rising deficits and the reliance on money printing are diminishing the Fed’s ability to control the economy with traditional tools, creating an environment where financial assets thrive. High global demand for dollars, despite an unsustainable DXY, underscores the strain on traditional systems, making Bitcoin an attractive alternative.
With liquidity set to increase and fiscal policies pointing toward inflation, Bitcoin stands out as a resilient asset for the new economic reality. Stay humble and stack sats.

Ross Ulbricht Still Awaits Sentence Commutation Promised by Trump
Ross Ulbricht, the Silk Road founder serving two life sentences plus 40 years without parole, has yet to see his sentence commuted by President Donald Trump despite a promise made at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention.
Ulbricht, now 40, expressed gratitude from prison for the renewed attention to his case, while questions remain about Trump’s intentions regarding clemency. A commutation would shorten Ulbricht’s sentence but maintain the conviction, unlike a pardon, which provides complete legal forgiveness. The White House has not commented on the matter.
