Thus Bloomberg’s monopoly is not a tech monopoly. Its software is mediocre. It is an access monopoly, which is a direct side effect of the great ongoing state-corporate merger that’s hyper-accelerated since the late 1980s.Politics is – of course, at the center of a political economy. And it pays to be on the side of the aisle that gives you the best access (which is the left wing).
This similarly explains why George Soros became a left-wing meme lord post 1993. His capital base simply got too big and the only way to move size was in government markets. Cryptocurrency is inherently a right wing asset class because it’s constantly noting the elephant in the room (that there’s too much debt, and it won’t ever be paid back). As such, it cripples itself in terms of institutional adoption so it’s a bit of a miracle that there are even ETFs.
Everyone has convinced themselves there’s a ton of election risk regarding cryptocurrency. But — because Bloomberg, Soros, Blackrock and the left wing consortium are on the forefront of ‘institutional adoption’ – I simply don’t think that’s the case. Not for BTC, and not for ETH.
In a post truth world pay attention to the men proximate to the money printers. Assume they are acting on marching orders that are somewhat consistent. Buy crypto because you’re allowed to. Keep your Bloomberg terminal so you can buy more intraday when they invent a crisis to start easing.
