Issue #430: This man looks scared
Share

Here's an interesting video that was brought to my attention early this morning that I think is worthwhile sharing with you freaks; a body language analysis of Fed Chairman Powell when asked about his thoughts on cryptocurrency. Dude seems pretty uncomfortable if you ask Uncle Marty. On top of that, he seems to have fallen into the trap of expecting that Bitcoin, if it is to be successful, will be everything it can be in the future out of the box. Saying that he's not particularly worried about cryptocurrency in the short-term due to the volatile nature of the nascent digital money and saying that he'd prefer to talk about it outside of the hearing.

If we're going strictly off body language and posturing via verbal language, it seems as though this is a topic that irks Chairman Powell. A topic that lingers in the back of his mind as he attempts to traverse the seas of a failing monetary policy.

I, for one, am happy to see this makes him uncomfortable. It means Bitcoin is on to something.
