See Michael Saylor and Adam Livingston on Youtube. Also Lyn Alden is brilliant.

������Pay attention this GENIUS act wants your dollars sitting in stablecoins to silently fund U.S. debt…through enforced reserve purchases of Treasuries.
This is monetized surveillance and passive taxation wrapped in fintech packaging.

Basically the U.S. Treasury needs to sell trillions of dollars in bonds to fund deficits.
•Right now, China and Japan are backing away from buying more U.S. debt.
•The Fed is tapering its purchases too.
•So they need a new buyer: YOU, via your stablecoin.

Stablecoins are being redesigned as a passive debt-purchase mechanism.

This is what they mean when they say:

“Every digital dollar will create *trillions in demand for the Treasury.”
It’s not metaphor. It’s a debt trap disguised as digital innovation.
http://1.You buy a stablecoin (Bank of America Coin, CircleUSD, etc.)
2.That issuer — a “Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuer” (PPSI) — is legally required to hold 1:1 reserves for every coin.
3.Where do they hold those reserves?
Not under a mattress. Not in cash.
→ They’re buying short-term U.S. Treasuries (T-bills, notes, etc.)
4.The bigger the stablecoin market, the bigger the pile of T-bill demand.

The GENIUS Act would basically force every dollar of digital cash to support the U.S. government’s debt.

You’re Being Turned Into a Bond-Backed Hostage Without Consent

Your Money Becomes Illiquid and Government-Controlled

When stablecoin reserves are forced into U.S. Treasuries:
•Your digital dollars are no longer “backed by cash” — they’re backed by government IOUs.
•You can’t redeem instantly if the Treasury market freezes (like in March 2020).
•You don’t control the yield. You don’t earn the interest. The issuer or bank does.

Translation: Your dollar’s sitting in jail earning interest for someone else.

You’re Funding the Government — Without Voting On It

This turns your stablecoin use into passive debt funding for:
•Endless wars
•Bailouts for megabanks
•Surveillance infrastructure (like IRS snooping or digital IDs)

All without legislation, vote, or consent.

You’re now a non-consensual bond buyer just for holding “digital cash.”

They’ll now have a financial motive to:
•Ban algorithmic coins (like DAI/RAI) that don’t support bond buying.
•Kill Bitcoin/ETH usage as stable alternatives.
•Force everyone onto “compliant” rails where bond buying is mandatory.

The system becomes addicted to your stablecoin being a bond buyer. That’s permanent economic capture.



More Neutral Money — It’s All Politicized

A real dollar — paper or bank cash — is neutral.

A stablecoin forced into Treasuries is:
•Politically tied
•Debt-dependent
•Surveillance-prone
•Built on yield extraction

You lose neutrality. You’re tied to whatever policies the Treasury supports.

This Creates a Hidden Layer of Risk That Could Blow Up

If stablecoin issuers only hold Treasuries, and rates spike or buyers vanish (like in 2023 mini-crises):
•The coins can de-peg if there’s a redemption run.
•Issuers could go under due to mark-to-market losses.
•That loss gets socialized to YOU, the holder — not the issuer.

They’re hijacking your digital dollars to:
•Fund a debt-addicted system,
•Remove your monetary agency,
•Deny you interest or yield,
•Force you onto rails they control.

You don’t get safety. You get surveillance-backed debt peonage.
This is financial servitude hiding under the word “stable.”

That's the system all of humanity has been suffering under for 400 years...Debt-based and criminal fiat currency. Bitcoin is the only escape but it will take some more time.

Stablecoin creates huge demand for USD...potentially 8 billion people. The fiat USD is the best horse in the glue factory.

Not "lousy" if you are residing/banking outside the USA in a third-world dump where the criminal government just steals all your money via taxes and inflation and "bank holidays"/devaluation. People in Argentina/Venezuela/Europe/Africa and almost everywhere else would love a "lousy" USA Stablecoin. All fiat currencies are heading to zero value by their very nature. The USD value collapse is *FAR* slower than every other currency.

The City of London/MI6 still has control of the traitor-class in DC but with SOFR destoying LIBOR and XRP/Stablecoin, they will loose. We (And Canada) will finally be free of the colonial slavers/Communists of Europe.

Stablecoin is USD/UST. At least we have a digital ledger instead of trusting a banker and his locked vault :) We can watch almost real-time M2 money supply :) Yes, fiat currency is criminal but it will take some more time for a critical mass of people to figure it out.

With Stablecoin, I suspect the USD will obsolete all other criminal fiat over time.

Give it 15 years, debt has doubled, interest takes a third of the federal budget and the smart money abandons the USD. The Govt fires up the printing press, inflation routinely runs at 10% and everyone runs for the hills. Maybe bitcoin becomes the new reserve currency.

Here’s the difference. Tulips can be propagated indefinitely. Thousands of bulbs…..a wide number of varieties. It is more analogous to the US dollar. Need more? Print more.
Bitcoin is finite at 21 million. 13% have been lost due to mishandling by early investors.
400 years from now there will still be that same finite number of Bitcoin.

Like all fiat currency, the USD will eventually fail...But where will the smart money go if the USD is the global currency? To another criminal fiat currency controlled/issued by...Who? Bitcoin is the only alternative to criminal fiat...It has no issuer and has an open-source ledger and is capped at 21M and is indestructible and is global. Trade in USD - Save in Bitcoin.

The upper 10% pay close to 85% of all taxes...How much more is fair? Take all their assets and you might be able to fund FedGov for 10 months...Then we all starve to death because those 10% produce about 80% of everything.

The UK is a dump with a monopoly Forex racket and a 400 year old criminal banking system. That system is finally coming to an end and the GBP will collapse. Heck, even CAD should be more valuable than GBP in reality.

Your math is just a bit off.

The top 10% pay about 70% of income taxes. It's the top 25%, those making over $100K, that pay 85% of income taxes.

I'm confident we aren't going to starve because the upper 10% stop growing and picking food.

We will all be going back to subsistence farming and expect nobody to starve? Seriously?

Killing off the upper 10% would be similar to turning off the entire banking system. Care to make a guesstimate on the population of the USA after 6 months if either of those occurred? A lot of Americans have enough fat on them to survive maybe 3 months :) I doubt you will find someone willing to trade their can of Spam for a wheelbarrow full of paper with dead Presidents on them or a shiny gold/silver rock. Where will you find clean drinking water?

Don't forget, the upper 10% create most of the jobs...that create taxpayers.

Not to defend Epstein, but it’s thought he made his money legally. It was his sick hobbies that sent him to prison.

Amazing that people have still not figured out that the USD (as well as all fiat) is the greatest Ponzi scheme the world has ever seen. Bitcoin is actually the anti-Ponzi. MSTR and Metaplanet spins Ponzi fiat into scarce digital gold.

Almost every conflict and global scam on Earth can be traced back to the City of London. They know their days are numbered and will lash out even more to maintain their criminal grip. India knows. Pakistan knows. Iran knows. Israel knows. Russia really knows. China knows...Who the real enemy is.

Do you really think Russia and China are our enemies? They are not. They are just rivals.

Soros is a top lieutenant for the City of London and as much as I loathe the nation state and want open society, global communism is not the answer...Pax Americana is! Reagan and Bessent are heroes.

Trying to galvanize support by creating a fictitious enemy? No matter your arguments, I am not buying it as a better answer for the US economy.

For all stablecoins authorized in the US, it must be backed by US Treasury offering. Why? Because the BBB (big beautiful bill) just authorized a ginormous spending increase while the demand for US Treasury offerings are declining.

So the stable coin scheme is a way to finance the US treasury ever increasing need for debt financing. ie, a savings account for US Treasury with no interest, for the luxury of digital spending? A digital coin based upon US Treasury's buying is still belief in "fiat" currency. . as the relationship is still 1 to 1 and requires backing of the US Dollar with treasury instruments.

What the Genius act pushers are selling without acknowledging the potential, is that there can be a US stable coin buyers strike, or liquidation, for currently unknown reasons, but most likely it will be the same reason, lack of adequate security reasons which may result in coin theft in large proportions, wreaking havoc on the demand for digital coins. .

If the US dollar continues to fall, then wanting US stable coins by foreigners will be in decline, no different than Zimbabwe stable coins, when Zimbabwe currency was falling into banana republic levels. . .

It's a government gamble on grifting the rest of the world into buying US treasuries to maintain the US huge debt growth. If the US debt and expected growth and tax reductions doesn't produce the economic results expected, and so far, the past historical attempts haven't produced the results expected, the "poof" of digital coins might be US Dollar threatening for the US treasury and the US Dollar, upon which the US stable coins are based. .

Turkey tried the populist very low interest rate strategy and the lira lost a very large percentage of value, relative to other economies. . so be careful for what you wish for in a quick fix solution. . .

All global commodities are priced in USD.
What other fiat can take the place of USD?
The value is to bypass costly foreign exchange/delays and local currency theft for those outside USA.
This will strengthen dollar demand globally.

"Galvanize Support" "Fictitious Enemy"...Wut? All fiat is a criminal Ponzi and debt is it's very nature...It is loaned into existence at interest. The City of London/BoE is a criminal fiat mafia and has been stealing from everyone for 400 year. I Don't care about anyone's "Support".

USDT has 400M users...They must be fools.

MorTech 07-21-2025 04:05 PM

I see engineers in finance and economics not be very successful all the time.

Engineers are very linear and logical, because engineering has rules and equations that are rigid, and don't/can't change.
FInance and economics are human behaviors and human concepts, not bounded by rules and equations, but estimate by historical observations which have very wide standards of deviation as compared to engineering, and large outliers occur, though infrequently

It's the exception for an engineer who can transition from the fixed physical systems to the human system of the behavior of handling money. . the human system is very non linea, very counter intuitive, and has lots of outliers and failures. .

My experience is the exact opposite. I worked with engineers my entire career and most were excellent investors because they were smart enough to do the required analysis yet able to remain unemotional during market crashes. Most engineers I worked with retired in their mid 50s with ample retirement savings. That’s partially because they were well paid, but mostly because they managed their investments well.

I worked with lots of actuaries. They sure could pass complicated exams and crunch numbers with the best of them. On the other hand, they tended to wear loafers because they couldn’t figure out how to tie the shoelaces on traditional shoes.
