Issue #1225: Confidence is dropping quickly, is hyperinflation around the corner?

I am in no way predicting that we will see hyperinflation in the near-term.

Issue #1204: This is not how a monetary system should be operated

Luckily, bitcoin fixes this.

Issue #1154: The public is numb to the printing

They violently debase the money in an attempt to paper up the systemic issues they let build up over the course of decades or centuries.

Issue #1131: Let's play the blame game

The lesson we should be taking away from the last two years is; stop trying to granularly control complex systems.

Issue #1069: Bitcoin is separate from "crypto"

What really matters is the quality of Bitcoin's monetary policy and the public's confidence that the policy will be respected in the long-run.

Issue #1028: The Fed has absolutely no idea what it's doing, or do they?

I'm not so sure how long they can keep the record player spinning.

Issue #558: The correct Bitcoin benchmark

What's most interesting about the first two quarters of this year is that the world monetary base is on pace to decrease by 4%. This would be the first time that the monetary base has fallen, on balance, ever.

Issue #555: Again, our KPIs do not reflect reality

We target consumption and ephemeral growth at all costs to keep the charade alive. Slowly but surely destroying the ability of individuals to pull themselves up from their bootstraps by accumulating capital to deploy to a (hopefully) profitable endeavor in the future.

Issue #538: Turning the corner to complete the cycle

A project that was born out of the ashes of the last major financial crisis is now turning the corner to complete a full cycle of the Fed loosening and tightening their policies between crises.

Issue #534: A thorough history of money

I am at somewhat of a loss for something to write about this morning, so I figured I'd share this documentary recommended by our friend Beautyon [https://twitter.com/Beautyon_/status/1153924664370061313?s=20], The Money Masters, with you freaks. A three-and-a-half-hour Epic from

Issue #515: Money is not a shared illusion

Issue #512: Systemic risk, not ideal

It seems as though we find ourselves in a hellish cycle. We find ourselves living in a time when the people at the bottom of the totem pole feel (justifiably) shafted by the system and are more than ready to get what they deem they deserve in the form of handouts

Issue #502: The Oracles are blind

As someone who has been drawn to Bitcoin and has dedicated an embarrassing amount of time writing about the subject after becoming worried about the state of the global financial system, I often have to ask myself, "Am I just fucking crazy?"

Issue #422: The death knell of modern monetary policy

It is time to WAKE THE FUCK UP and realize that all is not well in the world. Especially the world of money. It's time to call bullshit on this nonsense and start talking about how we can end this 100-year experiment which has led to the one of the biggest wealth divides the world has ever seen.

Issue #413: How is fiat money possible?

It is imperative to question the mainstream narrative IMO. This essay comes at the heart of the most pervasive mainstream economic theories that currently run our world.

Issue #378: Fed Chair(wo)men are all bullshitters

Where were her warnings about these "gigantic holes in the system" when she was at the helm of the Fed? Did these holes simply materialize after she left office?
