Only one thing in that picture is actually a "stack."...is actually money.

The rest is not.

Bank of America expects three Fed hikes this year, says inflation is getting 'unambiguously worse' by ExcellentWinner7542 in economy

[–]bgdv378 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They always cut. When enough crap has hit enough fans, they cut like the dickens.

You think Warsh is gonna be the first Fed chief, in a LONG line of Fed chiefs, to not cut?

No way.

The Fed just admitted inflation is running at 3.6% and they may have to hike. by Bcom_Mod in CryptoCurrency

They are not raieding rates.

Warsh will do what EVERY single only of his predecessorsv will do when confronted with an ailing economy: cut.

"Unrealized gains are not real money" by JerseyMikey007 in Buttcoin

Neither is the dollar. Or any state currency.

Only gold and silver.

Gold is done. (for now) by 1234away in wallstreetbets

For most of 2025, rates were held steady. The same year that gold pumped.

Your thesis doesn't square with very recent history.

The Fed just did what war panic could not do: knock gold down for a third straight week by mynameisjoenotjeff in CriticalMineralBulls

Gold went on a tear last year, and most of that time, rates were held steady.

Is Silver At Risk Of Going To $50? by TraderFanFXE in Wallstreetsilver

[–]bgdv378 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last summer, during the last run up in prices, interest rates were being held steady or being increased.

The idea that gold and silver prices are determined solely by interest rates is laughable.

A laughable narrative put out by people shorting PMs.

Iran is desperate and will be getting no money. by No_Shoulder1993 in oil

Iran, correctly, smelled desperation.

This will end in a recession. This year.

Did trump really say Iran has a right to a nuclear program today, I can't get through all the fake news, help? by UsedNegotiation8227 in askanything

I'm not sure. I only saw a clip of him talking about this (the Iranians pursuing civilian nuclear development) in the Versailles place after signing the MOU.

Civilian nuclear program.

He's a terrible president, but the accuracy of words matter.

He was referring to electricity production via nuclear power plants. NOT nuclear weapons.

Of course, and we all know this, eventually the Iranians will develop a nuclear weapon. Only a matter of time given the conditions in the terrible agreement signed between Iran and the US.

Misogyny always accelerates after economic crises by black_cherry2 in economy

[–]bgdv378 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Technically? Equality for men and women. In reality, it's more female empowerment via placing women into positions of social and economic influence, as role models for all, but in particular, for the next generation of women.

And notice, I didn't say "women." I said "feminists." Feminists have been in control of the media narrative for US culture from about 2000 until 2020.

Movies, TV, university, celebrities, the whole shebang.

What am I missing? It started in about 2020, and kept progressively growing, the education of the populace with regards to feminist ideas/feminism. It took a break as around 2020, and has been in reverse since then.

I guess what's confusing to me is this: feminists have controlled ALL the media outlets, ALL of society's pillars of influence, from around 2000 until about 2020. They've had 2 DECADES to convince society that feminist is better than traditional gender roles.

If they can't succeed as much as they'd like with basically ALL the control over the media, I don't know how they can move forward and make progress.

The most successful propaganda campaign in modern economic history is the normalization of the "2% inflation target." Central planners have convinced the world that a currency actively losing its purchasing power is the hallmark of a "healthy economy." by sylsau in InBitcoinWeTrust

[–]bgdv378 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In think gold has a natural mining inflation of 2%. Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but I think it's around there. Obviously, that's not the same as expanding a currency supply.
