The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

supposedly, QE is driving an asset bubble---including in bitcoin. logically, tapering QE would therefore imply a potential popping of that bubble. the fed chair just mentioned the possibility of tapering in late 2021 or early 2022.

fun fact: the term originally emerged when ben bernanke suggested in may 2013 (several months before the october 2013 bubble) that the fed might soon taper QE. they actually did reduce and eventually end QE in 2014, during bitcoin's bear market. https://www.thebalance.com/fed-tapering-impact-on-markets-416859

coincidence or not? who knows. Tongue
