Finding it hard to stimulate domestic demand through cheap credit in a world of rock bottom interest rates, the next best solution central bankers have settled on is to generate growth by boosting net exports. And the way to do that is to devalue their currencies.

Those Currency Wars are already underway. It's frightening to think of Bitcoin being "weaponised" as a tool in this regard. Imagine a govt acknowledged actively purchasing btc....

Bitcoin is not really weaponizable in that sense.  It is instead the disarming end of the conflict.
The war is more between the different central banks, and less between the governments.
That people confuse these sadly shows how much Bitcoin is a product of its time.
A country is not its currency.

"In order to mitigate the potential impact of Bitcoin, the meaning of Article IV, Section 5 could be expanded to include digital currencies. Rather than limiting its scope to currencies used by colonies or overseas territories, the IMF could use Article IV Section 5 to label Bitcoin—or other digital currencies like it—a “separate currency.”159 As such, the IMF could require member nations to pay part of their subscription quota with Bitcoins.160 This would require member nations to purchase Bitcoins independently. They would then contribute that amount to the IMF’s general fund as part of their quota, receiving an amount of their own currency or special drawing rights equal to the value of the Bitcoins paid in exchange.161 In short, expanding the meaning of Article IV, Section 5 would grant the IMF a means of indirectly accumulating Bitcoins through its members."- from the paper quoted above

no, the SC stocks would have their own market exchange prices in USD which would detract from that fiat going straight into the BTC currency unit itself.  they're dilutional to the BTC price.

how the hell do i know?  Blockstream can't or won't issue a business plan.  it's up to them to figure out how to provide the 10x return to their $21M investor money by selling SC's to all manner of buyers including gvts.  remember?

hum poor me who thought that was precisely the case for the last couple milleniums.  or could it be the opposite? ^^
maybe we werent developped enough to grasp such novel concept but still you cant make such bold assertion seriously.

there is no way in hell Wall St would ever market their stocks on a SC before Bitcoin assumes the role of a real worldwide accepted digital currency traded on Forex.  the only way Bitcoin can do that is to remain focused on its sound money function solely, as it is now.

i've said for many years that all this development being wasted on platforms for stocks, bonds, insurance, contracts, altcoins etc is ludicrous and as a result, most investors in the cryptocurrency space will lose money.  it looks like another $21M might just go down the drain.

and that is how you tell we are NOT in a bubble.
