If carried out (with other cooperating nations perhaps) would cause revaluation of the underlying asset and thus allow the country to pay down the debt.
It’s an interesting idea but it seems unlikely given the prevailing consensus, widespread ignorance plus public choice factors.
CBDC seems to be where the monetary policy establishment wants to go.
Things may change.
It was a speech on money creation and society. I discovered Bitcoin near the beginning. I think we covered that in the show.

This is why I made the change with the show.
In this interview I discuss the impending Sovereign Debt Crisis with nostr:npub13k8vp6ylmagffppknaepalcpl0g07rrkwxgdq8c732lnad4gmekq4huf2d, former Member of Parliament for Wycombe. We also discuss the economic illiteracy in government, debt, inflation and the potential for #Bitcoin.

Great meeting you Peter - thanks for a great chat!
You might want to pay attention. If #2TierKier keeps it up, you all might be out of jobs...

You do know I lost my seat in July? I am a libertarian Conservative, not a socialist.
What is the qualifying test please? I have owned some Bitcoin for many years.

This is why Nostr will beat X etc. nostr:note1sn5uusvfcfdth4w6nwyn8qp3vg4p4tr2n504pqzt650pjpxad9xsnvwkht
Yes, I mean it. On the usual platforms, the user is the product. People will tire of that.
One day, everyone will be on Nostr.
I never used the party website. Always rolled my own at SteveBaker.info
I've just zapped nostr:nprofile1qqsgmrkqaz0a75y5ssmf7us7luqlh58lp3m8ryxsru0g40e7k65dumqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsj5qflq.
Thats the first time I've sent a politician bitcoin.
Feels like a moment.
#bitcoin #politician #first
It is! Thanks!!
It’s pleasing that some UK politicians are now on Nostr - well done nostr:npub13k8vp6ylmagffppknaepalcpl0g07rrkwxgdq8c732lnad4gmekq4huf2d.
However, It’s hard to find party affiliations on either his Nostr profile or his website. 🤔
To save you having to search: he was a Conservative MP who lost High Wycombe to Labour in 2024
I didn’t realise it wasn’t obvious 😉
