Back in 2011, Fed Chair Bernanke told Congress that the Fed's balance sheet would return to its pre-crisis level.

It never did, and now it's far larger than in 2011, let alone pre-crisis levels. And by around 2025 it'll level out and start to head up again. It's going up forever, Laura.

Bitcoin is not ready to replace the dollar. Many say it doesn’t need to. Tick, tock…

US treasuries would be my guess If I understand things correctly. But there might be some other things. But mostly I think charts like this are dealing with treasuries.

I smell something breaking already….

If only someone would do a T-Shirt out of this

It could potentially “return to its pre-crisis level”… post-Bitcoin adoption though

Imagine being a grown up, looking at that and not buying bitcoin

I thought Assets are good and Liabilities are a thing to be careful about.

This graphs shows assets and it goes up, how is it a bad thing? 🤔

Asset for Fed is a liability for Government or something?

Money printer go BRRR...

AI will save us right? Right?
