Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan, one of the world's largest banks has issued a warning on inflation and a potential economic crisis. In his annual letter to the bank's shareholders, Dimon argued that the assets across different sectors, including crypto and meme stocks, will soon face the consequences of over a decade of quantum easing and money supply growth. The quantum easing has created a surge in deposits from $13 trillion to $18 trillion, a result that has been predominantly driven by the expansion of money supply. Now, the Federal Reserve is reversing the process by using quantum tightening as a weapon against inflation.

However, Dimon suggests that investors afraid of a pivot from the Federal Reserve might have to prepare for rates to go a rate higher than anyone expects in the event of a recession similar to that of the 1970s and 1980s. Whereas some crypto insiders have completely contrary views with this outlook. Palm Raoul, former Goldman Sachs executive and macro investor, have argued the opposite while ARK Invest's Cathie Wood states that Bitcoin and blockchain technology could be the best-performing risk assets should the Fed indeed pivot.

In conclusion, with the central bank pursuing their policy of quantitative tightening and the risk of a recession on the horizon, the future of different investments, especially crypto and meme stocks, remains unclear. However, based on the opposing outlooks provided, it's difficult to establish a definite prediction in terms of the future performance.
