Title: Pro bitcoin propaganda and currency wars
Post by: simonvrouwe on February 11, 2013, 06:59:34 PM
Hi everyone, this is my first post and don't know if it's allowed to refer to other posts, but I found blog below, by Anenone
http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2186043 (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2186043)

Anenone says: "governments of the world are getting ready to fight each other to see who can inflate the best"

Which I think is, beside all the pro bitcoin-propaganda in that post, a pretty realistic statement. For example French president Hollande is affraid for losing export competitiveness and wants a weaker euro (http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/ecb-resisting-calls-to-cheapen-euro-as-currency-war-rages-a-882462.html (http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/ecb-resisting-calls-to-cheapen-euro-as-currency-war-rages-a-882462.html)). The Germans will block this, but the question is for how long.

"Inflate"?
It is true that Germany, as opposed to most other European countries, would like to see the interest rates increased rather than lowered even further. But it is to favour German people's savings and to contain a possible inflation increase in their country, certainly not to help car exports, as it would render their products more expensive, and therefore less competitive.

Isn't Daimler english?
