Raoul Pal "Bitcoin Life Raft" and CBDCs Reaction - E220
Today, I listen along with you to Raoul Pal's recent video The Bitcoin Life Raft and react to it.
Today, I listen along with you to Raoul Pal's recent video The Bitcoin Life Raft and react to it. He is a macro forecaster and concentrates on bitcoin and Central Bank Digital Currencies. I disagree to many nuanced points and I think it is a great learning experience for the audience to step through these ideas together.

5:15 - Introducing the problems faced by the USD system.
I agree there's problems, but not the things he lays out. I believe his arguments show he has not considered monetary convergence and has a relatively mainstream understanding of the current system.
9:50 - CBDC
Raoul claims the CBDCs are a way to address the problems he has laid out. Again, I disagree that the problems are what he says, and I also disagree that CBDCs can do what he thinks.
The three big problems he lays out:
- Swift
- Eurodollar funding
- Getting money to those who need it
16:25 - Cash, freedom, and an agreement of nations (Bretton Woods 2.0)
