Why Inflation Is a Runaway Freight Train

The value of these super-abundant follies will trend rapidly to zero once margin calls and other bits of reality drastically reduce demand. Inflation, deflation, stagflation–they’ve all got proponents. But who’s going to be right?

YouTube hatte schon vor einiger Zeit angekündigt, gegen Inhalte auf der Plattform vorzugehen, die unseriöse Finanzprodukte bewerben. Davon betroffen waren auch Inhalte über Cryptocoins. Viele Video-Creator der Crypto-Szene berichteten darauf, dass YouTube ihre Videos demonetarisieren und zensieren würde – einige Creator wurden sogar komplett auf YouTube gesperrt.

What’s In Your Loan?

Opposing Monetary Directions “Real estate is the future of the monetary system,” declares a real estate bug. Does this make any sense?

The new covid variant injected a new dynamic into the foreign exchange market.  The World Health Organization cautioned against the need to impose travel restrictions, but policymakers, by and large, do not want to be bitten by the same dog twice.  To err on the side of caution is to minimize one's biggest regret.  The risk is that the uncertainty is not lifted quickly but lingers, which would likely unpin volatility.  US and European benchmark 10-year yields fell...
