To heal this damage, it makes sense to take hard assets onto the balance sheet and inflate them in the future.
Yes!
Most dont know this but the gold on the Fed Reserves balance sheet is mandated to be valued at $42.22. This is by act of Congress (Gold Reserve Act of 1934).
Congress has essentially refused to update the valuation because the theory was "this will force the Fed to keep inflation in check, otherwise we would create incentives for the Fed to create runaway inflation".
My point on the above is: Bitcoin changes this.
I think it is only a matter of time until the light-bulb clicks in Fed Reserve members minds and they see that having an ever-inflating non-debt instrument is a giant help to their balance sheet woes.
