BTC is over $60k!? GME hit $300!? Inverted Yield Curve!? What the heck is going on? Dr. Jake Meyer returns to help us try to make… _any_ sense of this.

Notes
Here are the questions we prepped!
1) what might an economist was in a coma since 1999 say about what we’re seeing now?
2) Would conventional economics say we’re in a big time bubble? (PE ratios, debt ratios)
3) If so, what’s keeping it afloat?
4) Is the US gov’t debt load so high that interest rates are going to be a problem? (Debt spiral?) – we talked last time about “goosing” the economy while it was hot with tax breaks (Trump) and that being a bit silly
5) I think we also talked about the “don’t spoil the party” incentives and why those are kinda dangerous – is that still the case?
A few indicators we’re looking at:
-Price of bitcoin
-Price of GME
-Yield curve rates (US Treasury)
-10-year bond yield
-PE Ratios over time (S&P 500)
-US Debt:GDP over time
-Japan Debt:GDP over time
