mjr_: well...perhaps
there is something
to
the old saying "neither a borrower or a lender be..."
tiberiusiv: largest losses will happen
to creditors like germany at some point
tiberiusiv: thats all from operational debt incurred
to expand production of cars nobody could afford
tiberiusiv: notice how german industry bought up so many firms over
the last decade?
mircea_popescu: well... perhaps exaggerated but certainly something
to it.
tiberiusiv: in
the meantime all your factories are leveraged
to
the hilt from borrowing
to expand,
to meet fake demand
tiberiusiv: then
the bill comes due and no one can pay
tiberiusiv: think of germany as a large department store, and all of its customers use only
the store credit card
to purchase goods
mjr_: trade surplus just means "we make
things people want"
tiberiusiv: which are
trade surplus nations like germany
tiberiusiv: mircea: if it wasnt
too large
to inflate,
then greek bonds would have been made 100% whole
tiberiusiv: total credit market debt in US is 58trillion, bernanke is having a difficult
time creating 3tril
tiberiusiv: in advanced economies
the bond markets are huge,
they will increase rates on any inflate attempts
tiberiusiv: problem with
that arguement is
the debt size is simply
too large
tiberiusiv: well
the only other option is
to attempt
to inflate away
tiberiusiv: plus all
the real wealth in
the world will not be lost
mircea_popescu: this is
true, but no government ever has or ever will survive a one
third haircut of assets.
tiberiusiv: 70 years of debt creation has
to end at some point
mircea_popescu: lol listen
tiberiusiv, something like a 30
to 40% haircut => collapse.
jurov: tiberiusiv, can i extend
that
to coinbr? but i have everything on mpex anyway :/
tiberiusiv: i
think people should lose 100% of
their deposits
mjr_: but you still can find fault with
the one hurting
them
mjr_: and again,
they get hurt, but not because
they deserve it, it is of course in
their best interest
to look out for
themselves and not get hurt
mjr_: whether
they should have seen it coming does not excuse
the fact
that
they did
that
tiberiusiv: instead of spending most of
their
time watching sports and drinking wine
they should have devoted even 30minutes
to read
the bear case
mjr_: just saying,
this is
the reason i don't
trust
them
mjr_: anyway, i'm with you on
that, don't
trust govt or banks
mjr_: they weren't using
the bank as a "tax haven"
they were using it as a "bank"
tiberiusiv: well
theres a reason
they are average and working
mjr_: i'm just saying, more
than likely it will be small business owners and average working people who will be hurt in cyprus
tiberiusiv: not
to mention cyprys residents had 6 years since greece became shaky
tiberiusiv: you have
thousands of years of history
to look back on government defaulting
mjr_: since all you gave me in return for my money was your promise
to pay,
the fact
that you can't do
that one
thing...scammer
tiberiusiv: thats your fault for
trusting in government
mjr_: the point is i gave you money, you said it was insured and
that you would pay it when i asked, you broke your promise
to pay
mjr_: i am sure lots of people (prob
those least likely
to be harmed) got
their money out
mjr_: that is not
the point
tiberiusiv: why were
the locals all surprised, did
they not read
the news for
the last 24 months lol
tiberiusiv: how is it a sudden
thing? everyone knew cyprus banks held all
their assets as greek bonds
tiberiusiv: mjr_: depositors had over 2 years
to realize cyprus banks were bust
tiberiusiv: chaang: for example in
the US,
the FDIC has maybe 1% in reserve
to cover deposits
tiberiusiv: chaang: its impossible for
the government
to insure
the accounts,
the insurance fund does not even cover 1%
mjr_: scammer
tag on cyprus govt?
tiberiusiv: and
there wont be quality assets for
the fed
to buy
Chaang-Noi: so
the insurance is not being paid? lulz,
time for scammer
tag
tiberiusiv: if rates rise in
the US
the entire banking system will be insolvent
mjr_: you have a promise from
the bank
to pay you when you ask
mjr_: yes, you don't actually have money in
the bank
tiberiusiv: same is in
the US, all deposits have been lent out,
they are sitting in mortgages, ccs, bonds, carloans
tiberiusiv: you dont care what
the bank does with
the $
tiberiusiv: bowjob:
the cyprus banks held all
their $$ in greek bonds
tiberiusiv: bowjob: most of
the depositors in cyprys were earning high rates for a decade +
