In line with our other research pieces, this one comes with a web app so you can also run the numbers.
In this one you can change pretty much all assumptions (numbers in blue can be edited) including CDS levels, debt levels and other assumptions.

This is called being “hedged and wedged”.
Add to this historic highs in open interest on #btc futures AS WELL as potential positions with counterparties who are in bankruptcy and there is a good possibility that the “INDEX” hedge snaps back hard, relative to the other silos…/4

Every reason you would buy the UST30YR right now is twice the reason you should buy #btc. A thread…
The Fed will invoke QE infinity and YCC shielding bonds…

2/ If infinity is a number greater than any assignable quantity or countable number, how can there be different sizes?

3/ Step 1: Ask them to imagine that they are going to count dogs and to write down the number of dogs they have
Let them start counting dogs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... and have them write it down as they go (do a column on a piece of paper).
