I got it, but I am reconsidering even to have more than a current month expense in the bank.
You get 0% there and in a money market almost 5%.
I am sure that after I would post this, some money market would get off parity and money would flow backwards into the "safe" banks.
In fact, I penciled this scenario for sometime in the next 6-8 mo as banks cannot tolerate losing deposits to Treasury direct and money markets for too long.

In my country banks don't pay anything on deposits. I'm not sure why but it's like that. They will direct you to put money in various instruments, some are very common, government backed, but you can't put more than less than 1BTC at current prices. After that we're talking life insurance, bonds stocks etc.

But in the US banks pay something, and I was seeing that JPMorgan made tons of money lately, because they hiked the rates of mortgages like crazy, but increased the rates they pay on deposits to something ridiculous like 0.3%. If I was a customer I would be angry...

I am not sure how it all relates to bitcoin.
I listened to a long P. mcCormick/Jeff Booth podcast ( https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/why-deflation-is-the-key-to-abundance ) and they were saying that even in nations with 100% yearly inflation, most of the populace still stays in the system and only a small % choose bitcoin.

Blame it on inertia, on being uninformed, etc., but it is a sad truth for now.

Shithole countries with crazy inflation are...shithole countries. It might not be trivial at all, but rather incredibly difficult bordering on impossible, to get BTC onramps and offramps there.

If you can even access your money anyway, for example in Lebanon banks have been closed for months, to the point some people have held them up at gunpoint to get their own money.

Go woke, go broke. Go criminal central bankers, socialist governments, military industrial complex & lobbyists..., go kaput.

Debt ceiling: Janet Yellen warns US could run out of cash by 1 June

Time to re-arrange the deckchairs on the Titanic.

Is it any coincidence JP Morgan actually owned the White Star Line and is now the criminal bank helping the fiat based economy sink itself?

'The right to privacy matters'
here are some guesses for next rate adjustment

https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/banking/should-you-expect-another-fed-rate-hike-wednesday-5-experts-share-their-predictions/#:~:text=The%20next%20Federal%20Open%20Market,first%20time%20since%20March%202022.

Some say a pause some say .25%

personally its close to a shift.

But I think shift is sept.

at best  this will be a 0.0

I think we are better off with + 0.25%

and one or 2 more banks dropping out.

Fake Zelensky who talked to Lagarde also talked to Powell

More interesting was Powell's admission, thinking he was speaking with Zelensky, during the call (which reportedly took place in January) that the Fed would hike rates two more times

WELL they make it a guessing game. But I can't see 3 or 4 or 5 jumps bringing us to 6 or 6.5%.

So it is going to give soon.


May 2 to 3.
June 13 to 14.
July 25 to 26.
September 19 to 20.
October 31 to November 1.


0/25/25/0/drop50

or

25/25/0/drop25/drop25

5 moves to be made take your picks.

hmmm...PACW is down 9%, PNC is down 6%, a whole bunch is down 2-4%.
PACW is relatively tiny with deposits at 41b, but PNC has/had 436 bil as per last earnings 16 days ago, don't know right now.
I dunno what to make of all?
Cramer and J. Dimon say that it is OK now. Wink

The official reason for the purchase was to protect the industry and restore trust. How is the purchase of a bankrupt bank going to restore trust in the system? They are covering a dead guy with a blanket and saying it's all right, we'll take care of it, he's not dead, he's taking a nap!


my read is that he is buying stuff with a huge discount and by doing so helping his own balance sheet; no wonder that PNC, which did not get the "goods", is declining 6% today.

I am not sure how it all relates to bitcoin.
I listened to a long P. mcCormick/Jeff Booth podcast ( https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/why-deflation-is-the-key-to-abundance ) and they were saying that even in nations with 100% yearly inflation, most of the populace still stays in the system and only a small % choose bitcoin.
Blame it on inertia, on being uninformed, etc., but it is a sad truth for now.

nowadays not many people have savings and if they have some they just don't want to gamble with it. investing in whatever is like gambling for most people.


I got it, but I am reconsidering even to have more than a current month expense in the bank.

I watch them from time to time alongside Blockware, Swan and Simply bitcoin. Basically all the channels that are about bitcoin and finances, but not much about shitcoins.
The older generation still thinks bank is the safest place for your money and if you have to buy something it better be real estate because otherwise it's going to disappear.

nowadays not many people have savings and if they have some they just don't want to gamble with it. investing in whatever is like gambling for most people.

My parents have quite large savings but they don't understand investing and inflation. They lose 10% a year but don't notice it. If you made them buy bitcoin they'd be panicking over every 5% move down and telling me to sell it.

personally its close to a shift.

But I think shift is sept.

Maybe 0 in September and back to printing in December? I feel like the whole world knows they're going to shift and they're trying to make them wait as log as possible without crashing stocks in the process.

Indeed, it is very good for the sport that mostly seemed to have featured British dinosaurs recently and needed something fresh quite badly.
It might change things quite a bit like what happened after Raymond van Barneveld's first major win in darts.

But to be fair, if anyone of those British dinosaurs deserves another win, it probably IS Mark Selby. A very worthy runner up.
