Why do you think or how do you argue that Bitcoin is uniquely primed to become this safe haven asset in a in a riskoff environment. >> The Fed is trapped, the Treasury is trapped. They have no choice. They have to keep printing. They have to keep debasing the dollar.So in the world of debasement, what do you want to own. Do you want to own bonds. I don't.That's a negative real return. you know, once it starts drawing from bonds, from real estate, you're going to see a different rate of adoption as it's taki ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)It's hard to tell that Bitcoin protects against debasement from just its price, since most of the price rise since the pizza purchase has been due to the learning curve, not to debasement (fiat has fallen, but not by nearly as much as Bitcoin has risen!). To understand why Bitcoin has and very likely will protect in the long-term against debasement, better than gold has and will, requires deep understanding of the underlying respective technologies that are gold and Bitcoin, espec ...

Inflation and Monetary Policy - The current affordability crisis in America is largely driven by inflation, resulting from a constantly expanding money supply in a debt-based economy, which erodes purchasing power [1] - Regardless of the political party in power, the quality of life for the average person continues to deteriorate due to increasing debt and the necessity to print more money [1] - The US government's continued money printing and weaponization of the dollar are prompting other countries to seek alternatives like gold, with Bitcoin potentially becoming a future alternative [15][16] - The traditional Consumer Price Index (CPI) may not accurately reflect the true cost of living increases, as essential expenses like healthcare, housing, and groceries have risen significantly more than the reported 2% average annual inflation rate; monetary inflation, averaging around 7-8% annually, provides a more accurate picture [21] Bitcoin as a Solution - Bitcoin is presented as an accessible asset that can protect individuals from currency debasement and inflation, offering an asymmetric opportunity for ordinary families to front-run Wall Street [1][5] - Bitcoin empowers both store of value and medium of exchange functionalities, with the base layer serving as digital gold and secondary layers like the Lightning Network enabling faster payments [17] - Bitcoin's open, permissionless network allows anyone to use it, making institutional adoption inevitable and providing opportunities for average individuals [4] - Bitcoin is a politically neutral technology that empowers individuals to be their own bank and save in a system resistant to manipulation [19] Adoption and Market Dynamics - While gold has outperformed Bitcoin in the short term, Bitcoin is expected to outperform in the long run, having already outperformed most other assets over the past 5-10 years [1] - Nation states are increasingly buying gold as a debasement trade and to move away from the US dollar, but Bitcoin adoption by central banks is expected to be a slow process [9][11] - Stablecoins serve as a great on-ramp to crypto, but Bitcoin is the preferred asset for saving due to the depreciating nature of fiat currencies [17] - The increasing instances of debanking in the US highlight the benefits of Bitcoin as a tool for financial freedom, allowing individuals to transact without permission from intermediaries [18]

I think this week the Feds hand will be forced to tweak the plumbing to avoid a month end and year end funding crisis.Crypto is currently trading like a stressed funding vehicle reflecting the broken plumbing, while stocks are cushioned by buybacks and performance chasing for now,but risk a repeat of 2018/19 if not solved immediately.It's clear the Fed are concerned, hence the meeting with the banks and NY Fed to understand why the SRF isn't being tapped enough to resolve this. The fear from markets and the ...
