We can check one of the list ✔️ I think the second is very likely within 5 years. Third one is a lot more difficult. Central Bankers recognise the threat and will fight tooth and nail against something that proves them irrelevant by simply existing. image

🇪🇸 SPAIN Inflation 3% 10y Govt Bond yield 3.48% People are lending money to the govt for 10 years for a meager 0.48% real yield. Of course real inflation is higher than CPI. If you look at housing or any other asset you quickly go above 6%. So you are guaranteed to lose purchasing power, even if everything goes well. You are paying for the privilege of lending the govt money! And of course that is not counting the risk of default. Spain historically defaults, reestructures or devalues AT LEAST once every 30 years. So a 10yr bond has a 33% of not being paid in full! Is that risk being compensated by the yield? Not even a little.

Argentina's budget surplus puts it in a very small group of countries that don't need to increase borrowing every year. If they can stick to Milei's zero deficit policy they will attract huge amounts of investment. image

Europe is printing EUR. Japan is printing JPY. China is printing CNY. US will resume printing USD soon. (As @Lyn Alden pointed out GDP numbers are bad, suggesting rate cuts soon). Nobody can print more Bitcoin. Let supply and demand do its thing. Short term volatility is irrelevant noise.

Lors que les astres en ligne se verront, Sous le signe d’eau grand trouble adviendra. Le vieil pasteur à souffrance cédera, Et du Maure roi l’ombre chancellera. De l’or sans maître le poids s’envolera, Grand peuple en doute, espoir en l’invisible. Le chiffre banni maints rois troublera, Le pacte rompu, valeur inflexible.

To HODL or not to HODL, that is the question: Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer The dips and FUD of outrageous volatility, Or to sell against a sea of bears, And by opposing, miss the moon? To cash out— To yield—no more; and by a sale to say we end The heartache and the thousand market shocks That crypto’s heir to—’tis a liquidation Devoutly to be wished! To sell, to rest— To rest—perchance to regret—ay, there’s the rub: For in that crash of price what loss may come, When we have shuffled off these diamond hands, Must give us pause—there’s the respect That makes calamity of such brief pumps. For who would bear the FOMO and the scams, The whale manipulations, gas fees’ sting, The insolence of normies, and the spurns That patient HODLers of the weak must take, When he himself might quietus make With but a market sell? Who would bear the risk, To grind and wait under a ruthless market, But that the dread of missing the next bull run— The undiscovered all-time high, from whose peak No seller returns—puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those dips we have Than fly to fiat that we know not of? Thus greed does make diamond hands of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of doubt, And enterprises of great gains and leverage With this regard their fortunes turn awry, And lose the name of profits. Soft you now, The fair Satoshi!—in thy whitepaper Be all my sins remembered.
