and protecting CryptoBros. Stablecoins is now backed by US Treasuries. Everything that's backed by nothing is propped up by something else that has no backing, other than Fed purchases. Since Nixon ended gold backing the US Dollar in 1971, the Fed has bailed out everything. Only Volcker defended the dollar with high interest rates. S&L Crisis? Liquidity. 1987 market crash. Liquidity. Dot com bubble crash 2001-2002. Liquidity with low interest rates. Housing bubble burst. Liquidity with QE 1-2-3 and Twist. Covid. Liquidity, with Congress on board. War, tax cuts. Liquidity and crypto. Crypto is where they're hiding the current printing. The dollar has lost purchasing power all along the way. The $30,000 house from 1972 is now $400,000, the $2400 car is $35,000. See a pattern?

Gee, I almost forgot.
