Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"By setting up a crypto reserve containing dollar-backed stablecoins, the US authorities are signalling to foreign dollar holders that the US government endorses their ownership of these cryptocurrencies. During upcoming negotiations with various governments, with tariffs dangling like the sword of Damocles above their head, the President will drop subtle hints about how pleased he will be if foreign investors buy these stablecoins using their own dollars. If they do buy them, the dollar supply will increase, the dollar exchange rate will dip, no other fiat currency will emerge as a potential suitor to the dollar’s reserve currency status, and dollar-denominated stablecoins will rise in value. As these tokens will now be worth more than a dollar, their issuer will have an incentive to issue more tokens to restore the one-to-one exchange rate with the dollar. In the process, they will buy, with proceeds from the additional tokens they issue and sell, more long-dated US Treasuries to backstop their increased token supply. Bingo! Trump’s twin strategy is fulfilled: the dollar is devalued while demand for long-term US government debt rises, thus pushing down US Treasury yields and his government’s debt servicing costs."</p><p><a href="https://unherd.com/2025/03/trumps-crypto-time-bomb/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">unherd.com/2025/03/trumps-cryp</span><span class="invisible">to-time-bomb/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Dollar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dollar</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Crypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Crypto</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CryptoCurrencies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CryptoCurrencies</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PoliticalEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalEconomy</span></a></p>

hamishcampbellThis was a post from 7 years ago: We do live in interesting times — again — for the <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/openweb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>openweb</a>. Let’s try to do better than last time 🙂. The truth is, we completely messed up the last decade of tech development. And yes, we lost a critical battle around 2008. What followed was a lost decade where <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/openweb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>openweb</a> tech devolved into a steaming pile of <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/techshit" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>techshit</a>. Maybe it’s time to start composting? Do you need a shovel? <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/OMN" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>OMN</a><br>Q: What exactly is being proposed here? Can you explain the vision in more detail?<br><br>A: The vision is pretty straightforward: use the <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/4opens" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>4opens</a> as a foundation to replace Google’s gatekeeping of search. The idea is to build <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/openweb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>openweb</a> projects that can initially supplement, and eventually replace, the <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/dotcons" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>dotcons</a> in this space. Whether or not the <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/fashernistas" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>fashernistas</a> push this mainstream is secondary — the work is worth doing either way.<br><br>On the <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/OMN" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>OMN</a> side, the current focus is rebooting <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Indymedia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>Indymedia</a> as a decentralized, trust-based publishing network, and launching the <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/ResistanceExhibition" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>ResistanceExhibition</a> for public archiving of grassroots struggles. These are tangible, practical projects built with a <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/KISS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>KISS</a> approach to keep things simple and functional, rather than getting lost in the usual cycle of over-complication.<br><br>We’re also seeing a wave of <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/fashernistas" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>fashernistas</a> flooding into <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/openweb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>openweb</a> development. Expect to see plenty of replays of the <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/geekproblem" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>geekproblem</a> as people chase trends rather than build sustainable solutions.
