Bitcoin Update:
I’ll start broadly: if you intend to invest in crypto assets, exercise extreme caution. The market is still in its infancy. I remember the 1990s in our country, when the transition from socialism to capitalism saw the birth and simultaneous collapse of many investment funds. The crypto asset market will experience similar failures and successes. So, only invest money in things you understand and are willing to accept the risk of potentially losing your entire investment.

Bitcoin, however, is a different story. It should not be lumped together with other crypto assets. We central bankers should study it and explore the technology it is built on. Studying bitcoin won’t harm us—on the contrary, it will strengthen us.

At the CNB Bank Board meeting on 30 January 2025, I tabled a proposal to analyse the possibility of creating a bitcoin test portfolio. This step is motivated by a desire to learn about and try out this highly risky alternative asset. I emphasised the need to adapt to changing conditions in the financial markets and to explore new reserve management options.

I stated that bitcoin is highly volatile and could one day be worth one of two extremes – either zero or a huge amount. I also stressed that bitcoin is a high-risk asset for professional investors who are aware of all the risks.

The Bank Board approved a proposal to analyse the options for investing in additional asset classes. Based on the results of the analysis, the Bank Board will then decide how to proceed further. No changes will be implemented in this area until then.

It is important to emphasise that this is the initial stage of the analysis and discussion. The final decision will depend on the outcome of the analysis and the subsequent decision of the Bank Board. @CNB_cz

Seattle introduced a mandatory $5 fee on delivery apps to cover their driver’s living wage and sales were almost cut in half. Now drivers are having trouble paying their bills.

This is so surreal. The socialist Spanish minister uses a private jet to attend a climate conference. 100 metres before the venue she gets out off the limo and takes a bicycle. The security cars follow her.

I just visited the beautiful city of Liberec in Czech Republic. And this struck me as interesting.

People understand that czech language is niche and don't expect people outside a very small area to understand it.

Yet they often think their financial communication language - Czech crown - is something serious and important compared to bitcoin, which is more universal, 2x larger market cap, at least 10x number of users, yet they consider it some kind of toy that should not be considered for "serious business". Cute, but totally nonsensical.

Observation suggests that people are switching to using ChatGPT to write things for them with almost indecent haste. Most people hate to write as much as they hate math. Way more than admit it. Within a year the median piece of writing could be by AI.
