NOW YOU REALLY NEED SOME CRYPTO
The Fed has been told to “just keep printing money” according to an interview with CBS’s 60 Minute. President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Neel Kashkari referred to there being “an infinite amount of cash at the Federal Reserve.” He went on to say “That’s literally what Congress has told us to do. That’s the […]

ARE we going cashless?
There has been much talk of the UK going cashless, particularly because of the relentless drive of contactless. ATMs are reducing in number, especially as the banks in the UK now rake in £100 million a year in fees from the consumer. That machine that charges £1.99 to take out £20 is now a profit […]
The corona virus outbreak shows just how fragile our world is
Quite apart from the disruption that has been caused, China has printed $170BILLION of extra cash to pump into the economy. There’s no guarantee that’s enough, and in fact it’s unlikely to be. In 2008, the US Treasury printed $600 billion, and that wasn’t enough to prevent widespread bankruptcies and zombie companies. The IMF only […]
