What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorReuters reports the U.S. thirty-year bond yield has hit a fresh twenty-four-year high.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJoining us from an island with no extradition treaty is crypto founder Zeke Marlinspike.
Zeke MarlinspikeHank, great to be here. Technically I'm nowhere. The island is a state of mind with a helipad.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorReuters says the move signals persistent inflation expectations and pressure on bond funds like T-L-T. Does a thirty-year yield matter to a coin guy?
Zeke MarlinspikeHank, bonds are just coins that haven't had their glow-up. My token yields eight hundred percent, paid in vibes and a small goat.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIs the goat regulated?
Zeke MarlinspikeThe goat is a sovereign entity. He has a passport. He also ate our whitepaper, which investors say was the best part.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorZeke, why are you on an island with no extradition treaty? Asking for the viewers.
Zeke MarlinspikeWellness. Also the lawyers said the word "flee" is rude. I'm on a long, tax-efficient retreat, and the Wi-Fi is mostly coconuts.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorReuters says duration-sensitive assets are under pressure. Are you holding any long bonds?
Zeke MarlinspikeI bought some in a bad moment. Honestly, Hank, I just wanted to feel something safe. Now I'm crying into a hammock.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is a lot of detail for six in the morning. Zeke, we'll have to leave it there.
Zeke MarlinspikeTell the goat I said hi. And tell the authorities I said nothing, because I'm a state of mind.
