Not exactly related, but I’ve been listening to your reading of the six lessons, and your voice work is great. Especially, the wining opposing view voice. I get a kick out of it every time, and it brings clarity to what could be confusing. Thanks and nice job.

How do you do this? I’m probably missing nuance, but does your bank have this feature somehow?
Why is “cash” in quotes?

Not sure the technical term.

“When the RRF is drained, the Treasury needs to find new capital. It will do this by issuing longer dated Treasuries.
This will cause the banks to use their reserves. “
Basic questions incoming:
Anyone know why the switch from short to long duration? Also, why does that cause the banks to use their reserves? And, finally, use them for what?

I don’t know her, just follow her on YouTube. She’s a US-expat living in Germany. My spidey sense says that she’s a Bitcoiner but doesn’t know it. Or doesn’t talk about it. She has inflation related content at times.
She LOVES data. I would be surprised if she doesn’t know exactly where to find what you are looking for.
She’s probably on the look out for housing related content.
I would link her your articles and see what she thinks. But, like I said, only “know” her through her videos.

> Fully rented properties are the perfect collateral for borrowing to buy bitcoin, as the rent generates cash flow. Therefore, bitcoin never has to be sold to pay off debts, instead the rental income can be used to do so. Since the loan is repaid with the rental income, bitcoin's volatility is secondary.

Perhaps Trump or Biden would embrace it as a differentiator, but as far as I know both of them are anti. Hard to imagine a debate question in MSM about it. Would love to see it, but curious what you think about this scenario.

Orange pilling my brother-in-law has so far proven fruitless, but I mentioned nostr to my social media savvy sister-in-law and she was immediately interested in direct payments for content. It will be interesting to see if she makes any moves, but I agree that nostr could be the entry point for many eventual BTC users.
Also, advertising will have new models, but it seems the old ways would still work on nostr.

Agreed, I don’t like to hear them and I avoid saying them. Feels immature. Though, if presented, was it a failure to convince or a stubbornness to be convinced.

If inflation were not possible, what would the equivalent tax rate be?
M2 has roughed doubled since 2013, so 50% tax rate.
Plus normal taxes, ~25%.
Over simplified to be sure, but damn, 75% for the last decade?

We’ve been giving our homeschooled kids (9 and 12 yrs) $10 a week for a couple of years now. Nothing is required to “earn” the allowance. It’s been great for basic math kind of things, like “do I have enough to buy that?”, etc.
However, they are happy to spend their money on ephemeral in-game items; Minecraft worlds that are used once, holiday skins that are used for a day or two, etc.
I realize there are predatory practices to drum up emotional need to buy these kind of things, but it feels like they don’t value their money very much.
Feels a bit like UBI and, at the same time, what the deflationary future of a bitcoin standard could be for savers.
Anyone applying a value for value model for allowance?
How do BTC parents encourage their kids to produce value?
How do you educate your children about money?
I feel like I’m missing something fundamental.
