Is the Metaverse a Hedge for Inflation? (ft. Dogecoin) A little while ago I argued that virtual estate and real estate were inversely correlated -- as seen in the Evergrande example in China where Evergrande stock and MANA coin criss-crossed each other in terms of its ROI. It's yet to be seen how this will play out in the US real estate market but it seems likely that we'll start to see similar patterns emerge as time goes on.
The US market may take longer to unravel since it's a bigger apparatus with a lot more moving parts -- talking about it in a coherent way in itself is often a challenge. But there's been a shift in tone from both DC and the media in regards to inflation in the last week, which may be a sign that things are starting to move forward.
There's basically two different scenarios that could play out in the current US economy's trajectory -- hyperinflation, or an economic slowdown brought on by the Federal Reserve after they increase interest rates significantly. (Right now the former scenario seems more likely, but that's TBD.) Either way, crypto will probably end up doing well. More details in the video itself.
Also as an aside, I also argued that Dogecoin could be an inflation hedge against the crypto market itself. We saw a weird blip this week where the coin pushed itself upwards a little bit, running counter to all of the other coins out there. Will this trend continue? We'll have to wait and see.
