You ABSOLUTELY have it backwards.
Bankrupt means they have no money.
The Fed has infinite money because they have the ability to print however much they need for its own immediate use.
These things are opposite.
Calling an infinitely rich dollar wizard bankrupt is way off the mark.
Think about the supply cap. Bitcoin has a 21 million BTC supply cap.
The Fed administers the dollar. The Fed has no supply cap for the dollar.
So long term, 1 BTC = 1/21,000,000
And $1 = $0 because 1/∞ = zero.
This is the cause of the inflation. It's the lack of a supply cap. The dollar can't have a supply cap. It's too needlessly limiting for any country to even try.
Good thing there's Bitcoin.
Just don't call the dollar king broke. He's loaded.
It absolutely does not mean you have no money. "Bankrupt" means your current assets are not sufficient to cover your liabilities. The point is that the only way for the Fed to meet its obligations is to print money, which is why there will be inflation.

That's how they describe themselves (the Fed).
It's stupid to adopt their view.
It's smarter to instead adopt the perspective that they're infinitely rich. Because that's what the Fed is. They're the ones who makes the dollars and all the rules about it.
Shift your perspective to the more correct one. I know you can do this. See my point.
Don't buy their bullshit. Pull the wool from over your eyes. The dudes who literally create all the money have infinite money. So your proportional share of that is exactly $0. ($1/$∞)
As they exert their infinite money power, your current share of realized dollars goes down, which is what causes the buying power of all dollars to dilute.
How can you not realize that the Fed (infinitely rich) wants you to think they're bankrupt?
reply
Infinitely rich is an incoherent concept. Currency units are not the same as wealth. They can make more currency units, but you're drinking the Kool Aid if you think that's the same as producing wealth.

Who's taking about producing wealth? Stay on topic bro.
I'm taking about money.

Rich means wealthy, but bankrupt does not mean broke.
Try reading the article and actually discussing the ideas, instead of whatever it is you're doing.
