Bitcoin & the Future of Bonds with Greg Foss - WBD435

Bitcoin & the Future of Bonds with Greg Foss - WBD435

Location: Miami Date: Thursday 2nd December Company: Validus Power Corp Role: Bitcoin Strategist

Credit is central to the modern capitalist system. This makes bonds the most important financial contract in the world, significantly more important than equities. So, when credit markets get sick, all other markets suffer.

Bonds have performed well for nearly two generations. However, the market looks like it's about to turn. Yields are being suppressed by unprecedented government purchase schemes. This has to end, and when it does, yields will increase, prices will drop, and debt will become more costly for governments.

The demand side effects are just as damaging. Pension funds are mandated to make significant bond purchases (usually representing 40% of a portfolio). Low bond yields in a high inflation environment result in increased liabilities for pension funds. Rising yields are obviously better, but not for those holding bonds dropping in value.

Is it time for pension funds to be allowed to add bitcoin to their portfolios?

In this interview, I talk with Bitcoin Strategist Greg Foss about how government bond markets are being manipulated through quantitative easing and how this will soon have to end. We further discuss what this means for equities and pensions and the potential for investors to seek refuge in bitcoin.
