I’m not sure many people realize that financial deflation and hyperinflation are, historically speaking, two sides of the same coin, often happening at the same time

Whenever fiat currencies head to zero, their associated financial markets collapse and shrink and dry up

**Response to @gladstein:**

But the value of the “real economy” won’t go to zero — it’ll likely shrink for a phase as the fiat bubble pops but over time it will grow and a new paradigm of economy will emerge

**Response to @gladstein:**

My sense is that in the coming decades, sovereign and corporate debt (currently worth more than $100 trillion) will deflate and devalue massively against goods and services, with a lot of that value flowing into Bitcoin

Many fiat currencies will hyperinflate at the same time

if we’re not careful, “pay with lightning” could easily come to mean “use a cbdc controlled digital payment network” — if it’s not backed by Bitcoin, it’s not Lightning

The Blocksize War is rightly seen as one of the most important books in bitcoin.

So I find it odd no one talks about Jonathan Bier's second book, Reckless.

It's very good:

Plenty of things to criticize Bukele about, this is not one of them

Bitcoin adoption was a great idea for El Salvador, it’s (much) cheaper and more direct than traditional remittance pathways, and national Bitcoin education will be a global competitive advantage for Salvadorans

Just look at this building in Guizhou, the first Chinese province likely going bankrupt as the provincial government made it all but clear. A perfect symbol.

Great summary of a speech that sounds like as clear as Beijing’s view of HK will ever get. The talking points are dreadfully straightforward.

Starting with: a sweeping delegitimization of the entire popular movement in 2019. No nuance: it was solely an attempted at a revolution.

The IMF encouraged emerging market private sectors to lend heavily to their local governments, but now continued bailouts may become contingent on “restructuring” that debt (in other words, devaluing)

Rugged again…

Very interested to see if the NYT responds to this or not. A simple release of the raw files would be enough to clarify things. If the imagery was accurate what do they have to hide?
