Re: iBonds / TreasuryDirect

1.2% predicted vs 1.3 on the fixed, gonna roll the dice and hope for a higher rate cuz this is chump change

Re: BTC in the PP

You cant print more NYC land tho. Bitcoin is scarce but you can create new tokens to trade. When gold got scarce (too expensive to borrow from some tycoon) people went to silver etc. That said I am feeling the FOMO and trying to figure out how everyone might need bitcoin
