If we have another bout of high inflation as a result of the straightforward moves remaining closed for the rest of the year, you're going to see 10% inflation before the end of the year.

And in that event, you see a huge recession.

In that event, you see everything sell off.

And then you see the Fed slam rates to zero.

So the two scenarios going forward for Bitcoin are, he said, we are entering into an era of systematically falling prices, which is something that Fed chair has never said as far as I can recall.

The strategy has proven they could sell a fat amount of Bitcoin, their biggest sale ever.

Bitcoin won't care.

Is the Bitcoin bottom in—or could another major selloff be coming?

Joe Consorti joins Walker to break down the macro forces driving Bitcoin, including the Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz, rising oil prices, inflation, Federal Reserve policy, and the prospect of an inflationary recession. Joe explains why an oil supply shock cannot be solved by higher interest rates, why the Fed may ultimately cut rather than hike, and how political pressure ahead of the midterms could shape markets.

They also examine Strategy’s controversial Bitcoin sales and dismantle claims that the company, MSTR, or its STRC preferred equity is caught in a “death spiral.” Joe explains Strategy’s debt structure, the risk of forced Bitcoin liquidation, its push for inclusion in the S&P 500, and how the company can sell BTC to fund dividends while remaining a net buyer over time.

Finally, Joe shares why monetary debasement sustains his long-term Bitcoin conviction—and how his Christian faith keeps him grounded amid political, economic, and geopolitical uncertainty.
