@VitalikButerin Of course there aren't producers of gas looking to hedge downside risk like there are for e.g. corn. So that side of the trade will have to be fulfilled by overcollateralized speculators with credit risk
@charliebilello QE was the absolute most harmful dumb idea to ever be had. It does absolutely nothing and it took the place of actual stimulus that could actually have avoided the recession.
@WilliamXnote@dmesg@ZackPolanski Taxes cause inflation? You have that backwards. The whole point of a tax is to lower inflation. To your point about investment, if the tax doesn't affect CPI then it's useless. But of course it will sooner or later since the end goal of all savings/investment is to buy things
