On The Contrary, Trump May Secretly Want Recession: Here's Why

Image
Donald Trump is currently battling a wide range of administrative issues. His current priority is to be robust in the US economic aspects, and for that to happen, Trump has already proposed an international tariff strategy, the one that can help the US gain the upper hand and help make the US economy prosper in the long run. However, on a larger scale, Trump would need another policy hack, a simplification tool to solve a plethora of US economic woes, including quelling the fears of stagflation and inflation. As many great patrons have said, the complete way out always includes a crash first. Will the US consider the possibility of recession to end its economic woes at once? One portal thinks so.

New Balaji fund doesn’t mention hyperinflation or the ‘dying’ dollar

Balaji Srinivasan, one-time Coinbase CTO and former partner at Crypto cheerleading VC firm a16z, has decided that it’s time to start investing on behalf of others again and announced a new fund. It’s imaginatively called The Balaji Fund.

Bitcoin price has corrected at each attempt to rally above $28,000. Cointelegraph explains why. Bitcoin (BTC) faced a 4.9% correction in the four days following the failure to break the $28,000 resistance on Oct. 8, and derivatives metrics show fear is dominating sentiment in the market, but will it be enough to shake Bitcoin price from its current range? Looking at the bigger picture, Bitcoin is holding up admirably, especially when compared to gold, which has fallen by 5% since June, and Treasury Inflation-Protected bonds (TIP), which have seen a 4.2% drop during the same period. Merely maintaining its position at $27,700, Bitcoin has outperformed two of the most secure assets in traditional finance.
