The IMF is urging El Salvador to remove Bitcoin as legal tender.

This will be interesting to watch as it unfolds.

"Across languages, the frequency of fact-related words [in Google Books] dropped while emotion-laden language surged, a trend paralleled by a shift from collectivistic to individualistic language."

How do we replace "The New York Times" with "Technology Times" and make sci/tech & progress top news?

Cantillon Effect 101

With the recent money printing activity and an expanding wealth inequality problem, talk of the "Cantillon Effect" has taken center stage.

But what is the Cantillon Effect and how does it work?

Here's Cantillon Effect 101!

BREAKING: U.S. inflation was up 6.2% in October over a year ago. That’s the highest inflation in 31 years.

Inflation was up 0.9% in Oct. alone, a much higher increase than 0.4% in Sept. and 0.3% in August.

Prices are rising for food, energy, shelter, used cars and new cars.

Getting federalist papers vibes here. 6529 is reframing the issue in a way US policymakers can get behind.

What's most interesting to me is we can build an argument for separation of culture & state on top of this.

Stagflation is the economic risk that everyone is going to be talking about in the days and weeks ahead.

Here's a simple breakdown on the topic:

Spoke to some really smart college kids recently.

Almost universally, they had a belief that climate change was an unstoppable disaster and the most pressing issue of our time.

For the 1st time in nine months the #CPI rose less than expected. But the .3% Aug. gain still annualizes to almost 4%. The "actual" YOY rise is 5.3%, and the annualized YTD jump is 6.3%. A ridiculously low owner's equivalent rent continues to mask a far larger #inflation problem.

If fiat backed stablecoins really become inflation coins (not so stable), then how will we get a coin that is truly stable?

Perhaps something that tracks a basket of real world goods (purchasing power parity) using oracles?

Ideas welcome.
