We’ve all felt the pinch—at the gas pump, at the grocery store, and when reviewing the latest housing market data. While the headlines often shift to the “next big thing,” a quiet but devastating economic shock wave has been rippling through the global economy for months, and it’s not going away just because oil prices have dipped.
In a recent deep dive, financial analyst Mark Moss explored why this “sticky” inflation is a trap for the Federal Reserve—and why it’s fundamentally changing where investors are putting their capital.
The trouble began with geopolitical tensions involving Iran, which sent oil prices soaring. While the immediate conflict may have cooled, the economic damage has already been baked into the supply chain.
When fuel prices spiked, trucking and shipping companies were forced to raise their rates to survive. Now, even as oil prices settle, those transportation costs have remained “sticky.” They didn’t go back down. This has created a cascading effect.
Historically, the Fed chooses the latter every single time. Why? Because inflation is a “stealth tax”—it’s slower and less politically explosive than a sudden, sharp recession. But this choice comes with a price: massive government debt expansion and the printing of new money, which ignites a second, monetary shock wave.
This monetary expansion is creating a bizarre divergence in the markets.
Traditional stocks are struggling. Because corporate earnings are being hammered by supply chain issues and margin compression, they aren’t benefiting from the “easy money” policies. The fundamentals simply aren’t there.
Enter Bitcoin.

Unlike corporations, Bitcoin isn’t tied to global supply chains, shipping costs, or labor disputes. It has a fixed supply—it cannot be “printed” by the government to bail out failing debt. As the Fed injects more liquidity into the system to stave off a recession, Bitcoin acts as the ultimate hedge against monetary debasement.
The evidence is in the numbers. Mark Moss points to Bitcoin’s historical 2-year rolling returns. Every time these returns have dipped below zero—only four times in the last 15 years—it has served as a massive accumulation zone for savvy investors, leading to extraordinary gains.
The current dip is shallower than previous ones, suggesting a more robust market structure and a surge in institutional conviction. We are witnessing a transition where Bitcoin is no longer just a speculative asset; it is being treated as the “digital gold” designed to withstand the very monetary inflation the Fed is currently creating.
While traditional assets are c----t in a cycle of deteriorating earnings and supply chain fragility, Bitcoin represents a different path. It is the only asset that actually benefits from the fiscal irresponsibility of central banks.
As the ripple effects of the energy shock continue to squeeze the average consumer, the shift toward scarce, decentralized assets looks less like a trend and more like a necessity.
