How anyone can believe in the “Efficient Market Hypothesis” after watching trillions of dollars be wiped off the map and a cascade of liquidations because people were borrowing in one fake fiat currency at a fiat interest rate and plowing it into another fake fiat currency at another fiat interest rate, and then have a quarter of a percent diktat by a handful of Japanese guys in room blow the whole thing up, needs to reexamine their thesis.

Fiat breaks efficient market hypothesis. Or maybe it circumvents is a better way to articulate it.

Can’t have efficient markets when interest rates and money supply are controlled by insiders. Everything is downstream of that centralization and therefore foundationally dysfunctional.

Regulations also hinders efficient market hypothesis imo. There is a lot of regulation.

Bingo. With credit money, it is impossible to have an efficient market as producers cannot differentiate between credit money entering the system or savings entering the system to signal a change in consumers’ savings vs consumption preferences.

Fix the money, fix a bunch of shit.

No doubt. The events of the past week have just made it obvious to a group of folks that probably will never study Austrian economics in any meaningful way.

People do best with IRL lessons. Many more to come.

That is a certainty.
