Well look at it from this perspective:
If a tbtf bank algo went haywire when trading with the intent to maintain some position in cryptocurrencies because of some market spike/error/or w/e over an exchange and lost alot of money, yet others who were on the other side of the trade safely moved their gains to private wallets, the exchange wouldnt be able to negate those trades and claw back funds (like they did during the gfc) and those tbtf banks will be out of their desired positions; such that even if they were bailed out by some CB QE program, they'd still have to spend those bailed out funds to re-enter their previous positions.
Meanwhile those who came out on the otherside of the trade with their desired positions will still have more resources to allocate at their disposal than had they been clawed back/reveresed.
- stanleydrew 9y agoYes, I get that blockchain transactions are not reversible (excluding threat of force/imprisonment). But I think you may not have fully investigated your assumptions about what makes a bank TBTF and what it means to be "bailed out."
- cinquemb 9y agoMy assumptions about being bailed out are that it comes down to CB's inflating the currency supply to aquire assets that burden some privileged actors balance sheets. And what it means to not be bailed out means to pay more on ones mortgage than market value of such asset.
