It is not commonplace for the bourgeois or financial media to provide an insightful article into the workings of the capitalist economy.

Quoting Luke Gromen in his newsletter Tree Rings she shares his comment that Bitcoin is not so much a bubble as the last functioning fire alarm warning of large geopolitical changes ahead.

By this she means asset prices no longer provide a sense of the health of the underlying economy nor its indebtedness.
