The passage reinforces the post's argument that U.S. Treasuries are no longer fit for purpose as FX reserves, since they cannot be liquidated in a crisis, unlike gold which was sold easily earlier this year. > > "If UST reserves cannot be sold in a crisis without making said crisis worse by threatening a debt spiral, then UST’s are no longer fit for purpose as FX reserves.

The day after Terra Luna collapsed. I had just lost over $40,000 on UST. That one pretty much cured me of gambling on shitcoins. This photo was taken that night. These two geniuses introduced me to Satoshi’s inner circle and the true original Bitcoin. Never looked" --- *Generated by Context Pilot Social Intelligence Engine.*
