This week, we discuss the Fed's whiplash on December rate-cut expectations, why markets are being driven more by positioning and volatility than fundamentals, and how AI-led CapEx is masking weakness across the real economy. We also dig into the Beige Book's warnings on employment and AI-driven layoffs, the political pressure building into 2025, and Mike Green's viral case that the true cost of living is far higher than official statistics admit.

On this Long Read Sunday, NLW turns to Byron Gilliam's Breakdown newsletter for a discussion of whether crypto narratives are finally becoming reality. From gold's millennia-long hold on value perception to new empirical evidence linking sovereign risk and crypto adoption, the conversation explores how stories of Bitcoin as digital gold, a hedge against government dysfunction, and a tool for remittances are increasingly backed by data. NLW unpacks the idea of narrative reflexivity in markets, why anecdotes are turning into evidence, and how the perception of crypto is hardening into reality.
