On the Silicon Valley Bank and now dead Silvergate Bank situation:
- Regulators force banks to hold tons of treasuries
‐ Banks load up during zirp
- Fed prints $5T
- OMG, inflation!
- Jerome hikes at fastest pace ever
- Bonds crash
- Banks realize massive losses if depositors demand withdrawals
- Everyone blames BTC/crypto
😆
F the banks, stack sats! ⚡
