There is no greater evil than war. There was no greater supporter of evil than Lindsey Graham. People trying to find roundabout ways to defend his legacy will join him in hell soon enough
@blackbased16z@fejau_inc You can’t time it, and the market dynamics are very skewed and unhealthy, so likely either A) current equity regime persists, or B) market crashes 35% on a random day because the market suddenly cares about macro backdrop.
@qthomp No single market participant or group of participants are sufficiently powerful to “control the market”. Yes this is absolutely manipulation and the ticks on the chart are evidence of this, but eventually the market will turn on them and their manipulation will be fruitless.
@ctindale@swell_school Chinas present situation is more indicative of the existential failure of MMT; their (China’s) Deflation problem started during Biden admin, and not due to any profound shift in attitude domestically or otherwise. China is the canary in the coal mine. FAFO
@DrJStrategy Fed is irrelevant; cut or raise, long end says “hold my beer”. You cannot effectively lower yields on the long end while maintaining this level of fiscal spending. PERIOD. Sure try YCC, it will fail.

@r_vonhagn@SeanMcCarthyCom It would be hilarious to watch boomers get politically radicalized en masse just from having their free money turned off. The most selfish and needy generation deserves to have social security axed and their assets deflated.
Foreign government ownership of US Treasuries just reached the lowest share in history.
The world isn't keeping up with America's exploding debt issuance.
That may prove to be one of the most important monetary shifts of our time.
None of us own enough hard assets.

@TaviCosta Sovereign Debt Crisis in the making. All markets seek to maintain a homeostasis, which should naturally be reflected in higher yields. One of the glaring problems is how this will inevitably affect the housing market, which if allowed, will trigger a recession, which we need.
Today, I introduced a resolution to honor the crew of the USS Liberty. 59 years ago, Israel attacked the ship, killing 34 Americans and wounding 174.
The President should declassify and publicly release all files related to Israel’s unprovoked attack on the USS Liberty.
Got it. Sell Bitcoin because it’s no longer outside the system.
Bitcoin, a decentralized blockchain with a fixed 21 million supply, is exactly doing what its strongest proponents said it would do: move from fringe experiment to core financial infrastructure. To then argue “because it’s becoming legit, it’s a sell” is logically weak.
The original Bitcoin thesis was that hard‑capped, censorship‑resistant money would eventually be pulled into the center of the system – into banks, ETFs, tokenized credit and regulated rails.
Legitimacy isn’t a betrayal of the thesis; it’s the payoff.
Once you accept that, you can’t coherently say: “I believed in Bitcoin when it was unregulated and misunderstood, but now that the protocol is being wired into mainstream collateral and settlement, I’m out.” That’s just an emotional trade wrapped in pseudo‑principle.
If the reason you bought Bitcoin was precisely that, one day, it would force Wall Street, Washington and global finance to treat its scarcity and neutrality as real, then the moment that process is underway is not a fundamental bear signal. It’s the confirmation that the original logic was right.
