Is Dollar Inflation the New Global Tax? You Won’t Believe This!

by

In the vast expanse of the digital realm, where thoughts flit about like moths drawn to a flickering flame, there emerged a proclamation from the esteemed Balaji Srinivasan, once the chief architect of Coinbase. With a flourish befitting a modern-day prophet, he declared that the inflation of the U.S. dollar serves as a most peculiar form of global taxation. Ah, the irony! While the American populace may bask in the glow of their financial privileges, the rest of the world finds itself ensnared in a web of disparity, a cruel jest of fate. 🤑

Imagine, if you will, the staggering sum of approximately $6 trillion, conjured into existence since the year 2020. If this vast treasure were to be distributed solely among the 330 million souls inhabiting the land of the free, each would be burdened with a debt of nearly $20,000. Yet, when one considers the global populace, a mere pittance of less than $1,000 per person emerges. How delightfully absurd! It is as if the universe itself is playing a grand game of Monopoly, and the Americans are hoarding all the properties while the rest of us are left to collect our meager $200 as we pass ‘Go’. 🎩

In his musings, Srinivasan took aim at those who misinterpret the distribution of financial aid, suggesting that while they may grasp the inequities at play, they fall prey to the delusion that Americans are the true victims of exploitation. Oh, the sweet irony! He proposed a more prudent course of action, one that involves the gradual reform of the American-led world order. This, he argues, would entail a gentle nudge towards supporting conservative and libertarian movements abroad, all while avoiding the drastic measures that could lead to a weakening of the U.S. position on the global stage. A wise man, indeed, for he draws parallels with the economic tribulations faced by Russia in the tumultuous 1990s. 🥴
