Deflation is a monetary phenomenon.

If the money supply is static or shrinking (which is the case), then prices can only rise overall by increasing monetary velocity. Usually by getting people to spend their savings.

I know they're printing crazy amounts of money, to stave off the inflation, but that will just crowd out private investment and cause the economy to run even colder, not hotter, overall. Expect asset and consumer goods/services prices to go down 📉, as the "Strohfeuer" (straw fire 🔥) they are igniting quickly burns out.

You cannot solve a collapsing economy and a shrinking, aging, lazy demographic of people who don't breed and can't read, by throwing more money at it. That money has nowhere to go.

SPD wants to raise the top income tax rate to an eye-watering 47%, while taking on massive amounts of government debt and destroying the economy, and -- in completely and utterly unrelated news -- the AfD is now polling only 1% lower than the CDU/CSU, tendency rising.

Some of the most-hated people are actually the most-influential because you don't hate something empty of information or activity. There has to be some substance, there, to raise one of your strongest emotions. And it often also raises the exact opposite emotion in other people.

That's why Jesus is the most-hated person of all time, as well as the most-loved. Be more like Jesus.

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth." Revelations 3:15, New Testament, the Holy Bible.

You all act like I'm suggesting some sort of magic, when it's a public data set, and we can see what someone has liked, zapped, bookmarked, labeled, added to a topical list that isn't "follows", muted, given a badge, reported, labeled, replied-to, highlighted, boosted, or quoted, and which relays that they can be found on.

Following someone doesn't even imply that you have ever seen anything they have written. In fact, many of you are following npubs that have never even posted anything. They followed you and you immediately followed-back, and once they got their "WoT" count up, high enough to not be considered "spam", they started sliding into people's DMs and asking them if they want to learn about crypto.

Write a better algo. Or don't, and someone else will.

#WoT relays based upon follows are turning Nostr into a gigantic circle-jerk.
