The Rising Rates and Deflating Bubble

 Due to rising prices and cost of living, central banks have been forced to raise rates which has now set the deflationary spiral in motion. You can see this in the housing market uncertainty, dropping oil prices, stock price dumps, only thing remaining is the EURUSD reverse from sub parity, which is historic but not that far off from the 1.05 we hit previous Euro downcycle.

Currently weak businesses are going bankrupt and the business cycle is doing its organic clean-up, which has been exacerbated but delayed by the Covid crisis. This is healthy but unfortunately due to complacency of the market is going to put a lot of families in financial distress because in the end liberal still stands for free market economies.

Eventually more tokenized distributed systems will see their birth the coming 10 years, Bitcoin, Ethereum were great test runs but now with Tezos, Cosmos ATOM, Polkadot we are in a different dApp building stage due to improved speed and governance (in contract BTC is designed to be slow and hard to govern, it's supposed to be), I think it is a matter of time before we see a decentralized news network or social media platform, these seem to be most needed.

Gas prices dropping, Retail & Food still Correcting

 A lot of the price increases in groceries are strongly linked to oil & gas prices and commodity markets, due to a lot of innovation in the energy markets and recession fears oil companies have been stacking up on a lot of cash. For the first time gas powered cars have some serious competition when it comes to price so that means oil companies need to meet the consumer more on price which we can already see in global gas prices.
