Started hearing on Business channels how inflation is 'good' for Economy.

A few weeks ago, while advocating for lower interest rates, the same people used to say 'there will never be inflation'!

"In the end, Bitcoin’s biggest defense is human nature itself. We are greedy and self-interested, and this applies to our governments." .@gladstein

So, most of Govt bond auctions post-budget have failed to find willing buyers.

In normal markets, this would lead to rise in interest rates.

But in a ‘managed’ market such as ours, this first leads to RBI and/or primary dealers directly funding the Govt.

Legal Plunder : The Root Cause of Inequality

We might think that that the only form of plunder is the thefts punished by the Penal Code. But plunder is also committed “legally” and with the approval of society.

Why An Outright Ban on Bitcoin Might Be Unconstitutional

A mere ritualistic incantation of money laundering and black money as a justification for total prohibition will not satisfy the test of proportionality.

Since you want to play quote quote:

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that—John Stuart Mill, 1860. https://twitter.com/inlibertyreport/status/1362272894894620674

Don't harass Mr. @kaul_vivek , he understands and writes well on other subjects.

This is a warning to the rest of you - don't trust anyone, not even us. Do your own independent research and hope you're not wrong.

But last we checked, Austrian economics 'has only one hammer'..
