This is called treasury quantitative easing as pointed out by @conksresearch They can increase buybacks and they can issue more on the short end among other things in order to increase liquidity in the system without actually having the fed do QE image

We will get to the point where there will be a war between bitcoin and Fiat, and I fully expect the bankers to use assassination, blackmail, and bribery to try and hang onto the last vestiges of power In that environment, no amount of libertarian “no aggression principle” or “free market” solution will save you. We will need guns and organized militia to resist. View quoted note →

You can’t end the fed without ending the current fiat system You can’t run a gold backed stablecoin without risking depegging You can’t taper the ponzi You can’t outgrow the debt You can’t go back to barter You can’t go back to shaving specs of gold to pay for things What alternatives are there exactly apart from Bitcoin?

The federal reserve is evil. Printing money while others have to spend their time (their most valuable resource) to earn

It’s funny I’ve never heard a critic of bitcoin actually come up with a better solution They always have 80 IQ criticisms but don’t even have an 80 IQ solution

The problem with understanding markets today is that nobody realizes that there are actually two markets for basically every single good in existence The first market is the supply demand market for the actual asset. In the case of homes, it would be homebuyers and sellers, and the natural price level will optimize where the most transactions can be executed (p*). The supply and demand can be affected by many factors, including economic growth, interest rates, labor supply, commodity prices etc. If the population grows and more people need housing, or if the labor pool shrinks, and few builders are available, prices will adjust to reflect the changes in supply or demand. But there’s also a second market - the market for money itself. When the supply of money increases, the excess liquidity spills over and starts to bid up prices in assets and sectors, starting with those closest to the money printer like banking. Industries that have been financialized to a higher degree like Real Estate will therefore absorb more of the new money creation. In this case, you could see the excess cash or cheap credit (whichever form it takes) bid up prices in the real estate market without actually seeing fundamental changes to the supply and demand. The “demand”is being goosed artificially by cheap money. In such cases, most people incorrectly assume that the fundamental demand is high when in reality it’s the secondary market of money itself that is inflating and driving the price higher. This is the money illusion. image

Look at the long-end JGBs. They're clearly taking the brunt of the pressure now for Japan. This is not sustainable. image
