let's make a bank, dupe a bunch of customers, pay ourselves, buy a bunch of long term-bonds with the balance (from our friends' companies), and then the FED can come in and cover the deposits when it snaps.

then the employees (also friends) can hang around and explain the grift at 150% salary for 45 days to help offload the mess we create.

kinda ironic that the bitcoin genesis block included this headline as an encoded message: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks”

and here we are now bailing out banks and inadvertently saving crypto and bumping bitcoin prices

lmao

sure they can. One of the major risks to raising rates too much or too quickly was the unrealized losses that would pile up on bank balance sheets.

As of Sunday March 12th, there's no such thing as an unrealized loss on a bank's balance sheet due to interest rate moves - they can immediate cash against them at their old value. It's effectively a 600 billion dollar stimulus lmao just lmao.

jpow could set rates to 25% tomorrow and the banks wouldn't blow up :toot:
