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.

This data is very alarming guys, you need to fuck more 😂 .

Most people want to "move on" or try and double down in my experience.

Can't let it go, because these retards will to this to us again.

So safe, they finally were forced to pull it, but not after a court order. Such good, honest people.

It really highlights why just making easy to ppl it's a disservice, you need to learn what all the parts are and what they they or you will just give your seed or password away.

Stop just peddling "easy", if they are not ready to take self custody for real, maybe they are not ready for bitcoin.

Was at an event with one of the families from my daughters school. I've known the father for quite a while and knew what he did - CFO of a company in the "crypto" space. However, i never had mentioned bitcoin to him.

While getting some food with him we got to chat a little. He admitted he had zero interest in bitcoin until Larry Fink got interested. Larry has undoubtedly legitimized bitcoin to some extent for normies. However, he still couldn't find a reason for bitcoin to exist.

- US debt situation? It will sort itself out.

- State of politics in the US? That's just because we have some lazy politicians it will sort itself out next election cycle. Just have to vote harder.

- US weaponizing the dollar and SWIFT against perceived enemies? That's just because Putin is evil.

It was at this point where i knew i should jus shut up and find something else to talk about otherwise i'm about to be that "conspiracy" person he hears about on CNN.

his post was inspired by seeing the Ohio State commencement speaker. People are still comfortably numb and complacent. I thought the covid-era printing, subsequent inflation, then predictable financial hardship for a lot of Americans would have people asking some hard questions. Apparently, we have not yet reached that pain threshold.

tl;dr It's still really early.

i have never been able to answer this question:

"Who will the baby boomers sell their assets to?"

Oh I see it still, but clocks ticking. He actually used to be a big impediment for bitcoin adoption lol

These are the kind of morons who frequent twitter.

Probably one of the only things I genuinely miss from Twitter 😂
