E-cargo cults sure are surreal.
Bitcoin/crypto could be a solution for the third world… oops did it again … sorry I meant the turd world.., forgive me…
Borrow in a foreign currency to borrow in a foreign currency. Dumb.
“ In mid-19th-century United States, private banks and other institutions issued an estimated 8,000 competing private currencies. As Fed Governor Lael Brainard has noted, that period “is now notorious for inefficiency, fraud and instability in the payments system.” This is essentially why central banks were created.”
IT costs have plummeted since… and the Fed screws up all the time…
