It won’t be QE, it will be “restoring financial stability”. It won’t be YCC, it will be “fixing market dysfunction”. It won’t be a bail-out, it will be “exigent & unusual circumstances”. It won’t be indefinite debt monetization, it will be “a targeted, limited intervention”.

The idea of a bi-polar or multi-polar trading system just doesn’t accord with reality. China *dominates* trade even more than the U.S. did at its post-WW2 peak. This is an uncomfortable fact with which western geoeconomic strategy must reckon. We can’t live in a fantasy…

You’re telling me money is just a ledger entry created on a government computer that then sends a message and changes the ledger entry on a bank’s computer? Wow. I’m hearing this for the first time.

I think the Salt Typhoon hacks will be seen as the worst counterintelligence breach in US history. Though not reported yet, seems likely that the MSS compromised the FISA “selectors” in US telcos. The fallout from this is unfathomable. FBI NSD damage assessment is max pain rn.

The best part about Bitcoin is exactly the right sort of people will never get it. Even better, these people will very helpfully display their not getting it, even as everyone else does. A poetic form of self-selection.

DoD released the 2024 China Military Power Report (CMPR) today. Here’s a 🧵 of some portions I found noteworthy as I read it: “The PLA is exploring a range of “neurocognitive warfare” capabilities that exploit adversaries using neuroscience and psychology.”

The global financial system is quietly fracturing along geopolitical lines, with European officials now gaming out scenarios where Fed dollar swap lines become restricted. Note that EU banks remain critically dependent (17% of funding is in dollars) with no viable alternative to
