Is that true? I'm still learning about global monetary matters. My understanding was that the demand for government debt instruments is waning, and that this is made even more problematic by tariffs because it discourages intercontinental cooperation in the global reserve currency, which is part of what drives demand for dollars and dollar denominated debt in the first place. Tariffs plus low interest rates would be a double whammy, and might accelerate adoption of alternatives like bitcoin and gold and bitcoin-backed debt, which have been perceived as a threat by the Davos community, but might be leveraged in a perverse move by especially intelligent and more nimble statist corporate privilege seekers like Palantir and crypto VC bros.

The CIA is one of the few government entities that acts fast and effectively (often at great expense of other people's lives and freedoms)
No one really knows what happens. I’m probably talking out of my ass and dead wrong. 😂 Americans aren’t spending due to high rates and cost of goods. Lower rates encourage spending. If people aren’t buying then there’s less shipping. Countries don’t need to comply with tariffs if there’s less incentive to do business with them. Devaluing the dollar would work to Trump’s benefit because it would make the debt easier to pay off. But that’s a really big mountain to climb and as Lyn says, “nothing stops this train”. Bitcoin already won, it’s just a matter of time before people accept it.
Good points.
