>> Top crypto execs have tried to mobilize the industry behind #Trump, who has reciprocated by praising digital currencies & hosting execs

If Trump wins, #crypto will be the defining crisis of this decade, just like #SavingsAndLoan #CreditDefaultSwap #GlobalFinancialMeltdown crises of past decades

Trump will leave the economy in a wreck for the #Democratic president of 2028 to clean up, if there is a new election then

Otherwise, it’d be #oligarchs plundering #US, just like #Russia

Chi ci guadagna dal distopico dibattito sul tetto al debito federale degli Stati Uniti

Il debito Usa esplode ma nessuno crede davvero al default. Intanto le scommesse sul fallimento consentono benefici da centinaia di miliardi agli speculatori.

Il sistema della turbofinanza stava in piedi per l’enorme liquidità disponibile che ha generato però un’ondata di inflazione speculativa. Ora i tassi alti tolgono valore a tutti i portafogli bancari e vengono a galla i prezzi drogati. In queste condizioni -vedi Credit Suisse- il contagio può estendersi a macchia d’olio, osserva Alessandro Volpi

Event insurance bizz is different from lending business
Why? Imagine a Co. that insures damages to 3rd parties due to breakage of plumbing installations
If every insured pays and it is also difficult for every insured installation to break at same time,money is earned.
