"What distinguishes this speculative attack from its Weimar predecessor is that now - thanks to Bitcoin, Bitcoin Treasuries, Money Printer Go Brrr memes, and social media - it is nearly impossible for public opinion to misconstrue the economic consequences of the inflation. The speculative attack has evolved from a relatively obscure trading strategy during the Weimar Republic into a coordinated, full-fledged social media-mediated and Wall Street-assisted assault on the monopoly of state-issued money itself."
~ Be Water

We’ve entered a world where perception overtakes reality, and debt is the new weapon in a monetary war. I break down the first part of The Speculative Attack series, connecting it to everything from Weimar inflation to the hollowed-out middle class—and ask the question: are Bitcoin treasuries the future of sound money, or the next crack-up boom?
