       @bitcoinmagazine gotta wait before calling him "unstable" and such. This might be a lot deeper than it seems, just look at how they keep living their normal lives and how many high profile people are publically defending SBF

       @john @bitcoinmagazine I've been mulling over that recently, it seems to me that printing money is more like a loan (one you never asked for), while increasing interest rates is a tax on everyone to get that loan paid back

       @john well yeah you pay it back through the heightened cost of everything, but you never got the money. As I understand, money printing is standard practice when a government is unable to make ends meet at the end of the year. They just print more (take a "loan"), pay what's left, then charge you. On top of the normal taxes. Then when they collect the interests, they just "destroy" that money and so they can say inflation is going down. That's my own conclusion at least

       @john yeah that should be the "inflation at 2%" target thing. With a slowing population growth I agree with your first post. I was rather thinking of the crazy 10-20% post-covid inflation we're seeing, which they're trying to reenter from

       @bitcoinmagazine how much beef should I not eat to compensate for the anti riot vans and police transport they're using in Lützerath?
