From "inflation is just transitory" to UK's BOE doing an emergency 180 in their tightening policy to start QE up again to save the bond market from collapse, everyone is seeing the incompetency of Central Banks around the world. The once safe haven/risk free investment in bonds is at all time negative performance and showing some semblance of risk. Backed by the good faith and credit you say? What if that eventually just becomes "backed by good faith"?

Just throwing out that the biggest and most trustless financial mechanism in the world right now is down about 70% from prior highs. It may make sense to allocate some funds towards Bitcoin at these levels. Current price is ~$19k.

I can't believe the market's reaction to such a clearly bad sign from the British Central Bank. Guess what? The clowns that created this problem have no idea how to fix it.

Bought another full bitcoin this morning. My next buy level is $15,000 for a full coin.

If it hits $10,000 I will allocate 50% of my dry power to buying.

Bitcoin is the answer, we just haven't had anyone start asking questions yet.

I'd move that target to 12k. Below there and shite is hitting the proverbial fan.

I think we fill this inefficiency from 17-12.

Will be tempting. To the best of my knowledge, I can't find a better asymentrical bet than Bitcoin at these levels.

When the world does recover we will have another halfening as well.

Next 5 years will be a GOD LIKE bull run for Bitcoin

Financial Times' Robert Smith"Jaw-dropping quotes on just how close we came to catastrophe today.

Senior banker describing the leveraged unwind in Gilts as coming close to triggering a "Lehman moment". Asset manager accusing the Bank of England of ignoring calls to intervene sooner"

We are getting to the stage where the people will see just how far gov'ts are willing to go to kill crypto.

I always figured a day would come where people would have to literally fight gov't to use crypto. Feels like that day is getting close.

Odd, I don't get that feeling at all. Quite the opposite actually.

It's actually way worse than that. They don't know what the problem actually is but they are damn certain in how to respond to something they don't understand

At some point central banks will have to stop riding to the rescue. The reason for their intervention yesterday was a combination of an idiot policy announcement to cut taxes (and not decrease spending), borrow for both this and to pay for the energy cap the govt announced. And, to bail out pension funds who made bad bets on interest rate derivative hedges that collapsed because of an incompetent finance minister. Why these things are not outlawed is beyond me.

As Warren Buffet said derivatives are weapons of mass financial destruction.

UK central bank was faced with a choice of buy bonds to stabilize the market or allow large UK pension funds to become insolvent.

Incompetence everywhere.

Keynesians can kiss my arse. Thanks for perpetuating the lies supporting government spending. While I'm at it, I would like to give a big F-U to Nixon for turning our currency into fiat. These dickheads don't know how to responsibly run the processes they've put in place. Guess who pays for their ignorance?
