Covid had many people being paid not to work thus perverting the incentives of many (and collapsing my business). It did however expose many authoritarian workings. We have since reverted back to the slow motion rug pull of monetary debasement but now with much higher asset prices. How confident are you that a “big print” will awaken people? It does seem like such prints have a delayed effect on the prices of good and services. The more I speak to people the less confident I am that they will connect the dots back to the source of their problems. Sorry for the long rant…

I think it all depends on how big the print will be. Unfortunately, a lot of people will be hurt by it and believe me, I don’t wish bad upon anyone, but I do think it needs to happen. We’re all going to be affected by it in some way or another. These prints will continue to be a part of this currency transition and I think will only get bigger and bigger over time. We felt it pretty much right away with the increase in cost of building materials, goods and services. Depending on the asset, I noticed some went up right away like housing and others lagged a bit. The money in our business and our personal accounts was going out at a much faster rate, and we didn’t change our spending habits. We have a monthly budget we stick to. So that’s when we started to notice and then question, what the heck is going here? Down the rabbit hole we went… Im finding some people are slowly waking up, but you’re right, most still haven’t fully connected the dots yet. I don’t think they’ve experienced max pain in their lives yet. Even some that do, still won’t connect the dots and figure out what’s happening. People are definitely noticing and feeling the increase in costs on pretty much everything, they just simply don’t question anything, and they accept it because they think that’s just the way it’s always been.

These prints have been getting bigger and bigger. We live frugally and below our means and are acutely aware of debasement but I’m not sure these prints won’t hurt us just as much as everyone else. I am no whale. I just save my monthly surplus in BTC.
