CBDCs have zero intrinsic link to crypto. They are digital in the same way your credit card is digital which is to say they use servers that run on a computer which access a database. You could implement a block chain somewhere in there but

Commodities, real estate and debt. I would argue real estate isn't as much of a sure things as some people suggest as it could be rate sensitive and it could correlate with equity markets over the long term.

I'm not really much of a Beijing supporter in general but: Why is it that the western narrative is primary and Beijing rewrites it? It's all narratives. They're all primary in their own sphere. The idea that the US has a hist

Government spending on deficit doesn't have to cause inflation immediately. it just is likely to cause inflation eventually. For example Debt to GDP was low and interest rates were high throughout most of the last 40 years so it mostly

I bought this book and remember giving up on it pretty quickly because I hated the style of the writing. Don't even recall why. Years later I heard this youtube essay which I'm just connecting the dots now is basically just a reca

I think the answer is a clear No. There have been literal and direct accusations of treason by members of our congress for going off narrative here. I don't see how that conversation can happen in our environment.

Paying off an insider to get something done that actually needed to be done seems a hell of a lot less problematic than capriciously destroying someones livelihood with no justification at all as the parent indicates that Google did to them

Is there a general term for this style of artwork where biological species are drawn from different angles / sections in old books? I always love them when I see them. I'm really interested learning more about it.

Have you ever watched congressional hearings? Many lawmakers seem to struggle with technical concepts way simpler than an immutable distributed ledger.

Yeah, I'm not denying they have tons of secondary ways to sanction crypto. On the other hand, I think a state level actor could figure out ways around most of them. I think you are definitely correct that these is part of larger postur

I'm curious as to whether Warren "gets" that they can't sanction the actual blockchain. My gut is no.

I wasn't trying to debate the merits of crypto. I'm pointing out that the parent has a clear misunderstanding of what a ponzi scheme is. The semantics is the whole point. He's using the word incorrectly. By your definition, e

for who? Is this some kind of environmental argument. If so I think that is very short sighted. Renewables aren't going to magically overcome all of their headwinds because oil get's more expesnive. All we are going to get is huge

They are absolutely not going to have issues selling oil . Note that the US didn't even sanction their oil because a) they need it on the market b) they know they are going to sell it anyway

Am I correct in saying that Estonia is categorizing this as a threat to their security therefore requesting the rest of Nato to consider this an attack on a member?

You could argue he's wrong or bad it, but I don't think he's spinning a roulette wheel with things to do on it because he's bored. He's clearly think's he's getting something out of this.

I really though Putin was bluffing for concessions. At this point my theory is targeted economic warfare designed to simultaneously spike inflation while dropping markets into the fed hiking cycle to try to start a major recession while the
