The charismatic founder of BitMEX has revealed his vision for the market. Spoiler: he moves liquid fiat money from treasury bills to cash and intends to invest it all in high-risk assets (bitcoin and other crypto, of course).

? Fed balance sheet will drop $100 billion every month;
? The market will get an extra $500 billion out of the Treasury General Account (TGA), which will accelerate inflation;

? The world's banks will be forced to resort to printing more money (this process has already begun).
"The party has begun!", Arthur concludes.
