I still can’t believe this chart every time I look at it…
While MSM is debating whether inflation is 🔼 4, 5, or 6% this year …
and Michael Saylor + Jack Dorsey are hinting it’s closer to ~15% …
Politicians are gaslighting any distraction from the full 40%.
That chart is of the global money supply – as reported by FRED itself…
a.k.a. your OWN government is admitting, publicly, that they have at least doubled the total supply of all money in the world – in just. two. years.
Put it this way: from the creation of modern $USD to March 2020, they printed $17 trillion, expanding at a rate of ~5-10% per year. Then they printed the SAME amount out of thin air just by hitting Ctrl-P for the past 2 years.
Your overlords created a global emergency, locked you inside, and exaggerated danger at every opportunity for an excuse to speed up the money-printers to >40% per year.
In other words, the buying power of your cash – for any currency in the world – will go down by 2x from this ~50% dilution until you make them stop or find a way out…
You see all that room I left in top right of the chart?
That’s so you can picture global money supply doubling AGAIN. None of us actually know if the money-supply will:
course-correct violently (go negative),
flatline (+0%)
mean-revert to normal (+5-10%),
slow down slightly (+20%),
continue apace (+40%),
or speed up (>50%) …
But that’s actually the WHOLE POINT. This has been the problem with money – forever.
Unpredictable.
Manipulatable.
Perma-corruptible.
You only fix the principle-agent problem and remove human error by automating a process and removing human intervention entirely.
That’s what Bitcoin did, >10 years ago.
That’s what Ethereum is trying to do now.
That’s what 10 thousand more crypto-assets are working on…
with 10 million more on the way.
My take:
Separation of Money & State could be just as jarring to society for the next 500 years, as Separation of Church & State has been for the last 500.
There are a few basic ways out:
To combat the Corrupt Four – dollar/euro/yen/yuan – historically, sovereigns used the Virtuous Two – real estate and gold. But over time homes are always taxed or taken, and bullion is always seized or stolen. Especially in woke territory, especially during a crisis, and especially in crumbling civilizations.
So what alternative are we left with?
We would need the same value, but a way to hide it. Or in tech lingo, digitize and encrypt it. So that’s what society did: create digital real estate + digital gold, hide them from prying eyes with encryption technology, and iterate on the game-theory incentives until something stuck ...
Just like church & state, money has traits both collective and individual –
serving a Common Good, while allowing & protecting Private Possessions;
optimized for storing, exchanging, & accounting – belief, culture, and value.
and probably more, to investigate another day.
Everything has a half-life. đź”»t=1/2
Including your cash, money, wealth.
Sometimes it’s 10 years, sometimes it’s 2.
If your government or society is corrupt enough, it could be immediate.
But we’ve now begun the separation of Money & State.
Automation, removing human-error & intervention.
Building a better system for Money.
a True, Good, & Beautiful one.
Keep working on it.
