I argued with this guy before on this point. It kind of defies logic of everyone’s statements on this and the effects we are seeing. How is the BIS finding stablecoins inflows to treasuries is counteracting status quo if not it being a new untapped source that wasn’t presently there?

“Americans saying they want to leave the US jumped from 10% in 2011 to a record 21% by last year…most Europeans live better than most Americans. There’s one big exception: the mega-rich…That leaves about 99% of the population for whom emigrating to Europe would be a life win.” - FT

America's uber-neoliberal economic model only truly positively diverges for the top 1% compared to Europe. The American top 1% earns almost double the income share as the European top 1%s. Ordinary Americans don't see these gains yet face more unaffordability than Europeans.

Latest essay: "American vs. European GDP Per Capita" I examined nuances in GDP per capita and related metrics to challenge Sam Bowman's soft polemic that Europeans have much worse economic well-being than Americans. At another angle, it's inverted. ryanresearch.substack.com/p/american-v...

“Stablecoins, the government, and the corporations all win; a shadow central bank conducts shadow money printing to shadow monetize the debt and shadow quantitative ease.”

America favors market based financing structure over a bank based financing structure. America’s total stock market capitalization is $60 trillion while its total bank credit is $18 trillion. Germany has a 40% higher bank credit per capita figure than that of the U.S.
