The Fed has lost control of inflation. They will be forced to ease again into an inflationary environment to *hopefully* avoid mass defaults.

This has been the Bitcoin thesis since the genesis block. You can’t taper a ponzi and you can’t make the money good again.

What if I give you 100% of the original value of your existing bonds?

Then the real interest rate will still be negative after inflation kicks up again

That move was the single greatest accelerationist move in the eyes of the bond normies. Fiat is a vegetable after that central planning stroke of fascism. Rip.

Bitcoin price is about to get even more volatile. Gonna be amazing days and crazy days. Strap in.

So honestly this may be correct, but FIRST I think the Fed will try bailouts and “not-QE” while keeping rates high-ish.

but the rates themselves aren't the main thing that matters; they were just a short for "easy money flowing into the system". If the let it flow but keep the rates up as a facade, that doesn't change the easy money and hence plays into the bitcoin thesis...

I do not disagree that it still plays into the BTC thesis. I do think it is different for the general economy though. Bailouts and QE are still more selective than ZIRP. ZIRP finds it’s way into every nook and cranny.
