BOJ yen intervention, the yen carry trade, and zombie companies reveal how markets stop believing central banks. They connect Japan’s slow bleed to US Treasuries, global liquidity, and Bitcoin as a 24/7 liquidity sponge. They challenge GDP and CPI as “nominal theater,” then lay out why AI could be inflationary via layoffs and deficits. They end with yield curve control as a last tool, and a Bitcoin standard white pill.
