In a recent X post, "Black Swan" author and risk analyst Nassim Nicholas Taleb shared his view on how the Japanese collapse that led to the recent crash of Bitcoin has developed. As a reminder, the major Japanese Nikkei 225 stock index saw a sharp decline following an interest rate hike conducted by the Japanese central bank. In Taleb's opinion, the reason behind the market bloodbath lies in measures taken by the Bank of Japan; for almost 33 years, the bank has been keeping near zero interest rates, as well as injecting quantitative easing measures into the Japanese economy for 23 years. All of these measures, wrote the analyst, "come at a price you eventually must pay."
