kinda crazy people are willing to lend the us gov money for 30 years at ~4%

based on their track record I wouldn’t even rent them an apartment

Absolutely right!

also, in 30 years that money is most likely inflated away 90% so why not just burn it?

This.

🤜😂🤛

The Lebanese government was promising my expat parents 15% on their usd/euro if deposited at Lebanese bank. This was between 2016 and 2019. Then they rugged.

how this would not make every single Lebanese person into a bitcoiner defies logic 🤯

Yes! Somehow one of the perversion of inflation is that the generations experiencing it become obsessed with cash... it’s hard to explain.

The younger generation gets it though so it’s a matter of time. My mom runs a node 😏 there’s hope!

your mom is a BOSS 🔥that is very cool

Boomers! My dad in particular🤣

I was always skeptical. It is now becoming apparent why.

Yeah don’t even get me started with the social security money they take from my paycheck my whole life. Doubt I’ll ever see that again…

Earning 4% on money that’s declining in real value at a much greater rate. 👎🏻

Is 30 year fixed mortgage around 8% a steal then?

Considering they can just print money, you're even more stupid for lending them money.

Real CPI is ~14%. Some people like to get beat. Stay humble and stack sats or you are ngmi

Normal inflation is 2% per year. 2x30 year = 60% inflation.

Lend it at 4%, then leverage it up knowing worst case a bailout will come.

We need a new system.

If they just needed to borrow a cup of sugar I would ignore them & pretend I didn’t hear out of a paralyzing fear that they might be inclined to talk to me in the future or ask for something else.

Lol. Wildest thing is the gaslight job, at least in Canada, the central bank does to continually laud themselves and point out what a great job they're doing.

Unreal.

🤯

There's a lot of buzz around your post.

Let’s kill the central banking cartel…

Stacking sats is the means.

And why not take the higher yield for the shorter duration bond? The financial world is a wacky place.

It's an over/under on inflation at 4%

Lowkey u right, but tbh 3x leverage on bonds really do smack a good return so long you're right.

When the stock market is grinding down and they have a printer (infinite money so no risk of default), it’s not a terrible short term trade. I wouldn’t do it, but I get why folks with billions would (especially while btc is only a 400B market cap)

When they have all the guns, you are more persuaded to cooperate...

That actually kind of stopped in 2015. Fed gonna have to buy all of it

🤣🤣🤣🌝

Renting real estate to gov. agency is about the only way a private entity can benefit from government. Always pay on time and no regard for cost.
