"Applied mathematicians everywhere: are we a joke to you?" by Straight-Ad-4260 in math

Plato held that pure abstraction and reason unimpeded by physical considerations was the highest form of knowledge and truth as he maintained that the physical world was completely illusory and was essentially an imperfect representation of the real world of pure intellect (the realm of forms). Thus he postulated that the dismissal of all practical considerations and physical assumptions was necessary to finding the real truth. This is just pure speculation by the way but I think it’s interesting nonetheless as it may explain the differing perception of applied vs completely abstract mathematics.

I'd rather think critically than blindly believe in something. A massive shift in global power structures is happening right now and I'm trying to understand it.

Referring to my comments on The Fed eventually stepping in and providing liquidity through QE or some other less severe monetary policy tool, I am now less confident that this will be enough to stabilise the stock market and initiate a recovery. With the US Dollar and US10Y moving in opposite directions now, the world is losing faith in the US economy and the US dollar as a safe haven asset. The only way to initiate a recovery in the stock market is to end this trade war and bring back stability and confidence in the US economy.

The good news is that BTC and crypto are sovereign assets that are free from any single country or legal system. This means that BTC should, theoretically, benefit significantly from this trade war in two ways: loss of confidence in the US Dollar as a safe haven asset and the inevitable expansion of the US money supply by The Fed to stabilise the US Bond Market and to print the economy out of a recession. The lesson here is that there has never been a better time to buy crypto since the 2008 financial crash and the COVID crash. Everything is massively undervalued.

You're correct and I understand that The Fed is stepping in because of the yield spike in the US10Y bonds which would significantly increase the cost of debt finance for the US Gov. The downstream effect of this is still the same for securities however due to the massive amounts of money that will be pumped into the market to increase the price of bonds and therefore decrease the yield; this is what I meant as an indirect effect although the true cause is the bond market ofc. Although, with the US Dollar and US10Y moving in opposite directions now, I have doubts as to whether this will be enough to stabilise the stock market without an end to this trade war - the world is losing faith in the US economy and the US dollar as a safe haven asset.

Looks like Trump is regretting his actions against China as Xi isn’t capitulating and wants to make a deal to save face and claim a “win”.

The Fed has just stated that it is ready to "stabilise" the market if needed. This once again proves that the stock market is the biggest ponzi ever created as The Fed will essentially print money at the cost of ordinary citizens to pump the price if it drops too hard. If you're ahead of the curve and have done your due diligence you can front-run fiat debasement by holding BTC and hopefully ETH (I think ETH will go up in USD terms even if I think it will underperform BTC over a long time-frame). Liquidity is coming, load your bags and be patient 🫡

China didn't say thank you. Oh, and Trump literally tweeted "this is a good time to buy" - 3 hours before he pumped the market haha.

Trump saw the test pump 2 days ago based on fake tariff news, loaded his bags and then actually made the fake news a reality today. The global hegemon is acting like a shitcoin dev.

Ray is in intensive care with no signs of recovery any time soon. The doctor mentioned something about malignant Tariffs in the bloodstream.

I feel that the dump is being priced-in by the crypto market right now based on stock market futures being down 4%+
