At no time since WW2 has the United States had such a high Debt/GDP ratio.
The all time high was in 1946, at 118% of GDP.
We are currently at 105.4% Debt/GDP.

Thoughts?

Are you scared because the Fed is looking at Germany struggling to stave off deflation even with negative Bund yields?
Or are you worried that the USA currently has a fed so incompetent it may actually be about to cut rates?

It's unironically fine for now.. But long term it's a big issue that needs to be dealt with before it gets out of hand. The biggest red flag is that the debt has increased at a faster rate during the economic expansion. The debt should be decreasing during expansions (or at the very least increasing at a decreasing rate).

1. your post contradicts itself, 118% is higher than 105.4%, and world war 2 ended in 1945.
2. The monetary and economic environment now is completely different, frictions in communication and information movement are vastly reduced, trade is basically more liberal than at any point in history, and the monetary situation between sovereign governments is an interconnected but free-floating race to the bottom backed by nothing but credit, i.e. their viability as a taxing entity into the future. it's a clownworld. bitcoin is money because it has the transactional properties of money, a limited supply, and cannot be shut down unless dominant computer violence beyond the known capacity of any government or multiple governments is aimed at it... everything else is credit.

Anon i appreciate your input.
The debts were incurred as a result of the war, hence why the number in 1946 is higher than 1945.
Keep in mind I am not arguing for collapse, societal or otherwise.
I am making an argument that most countries typically print to get themselves out of this shit, and the US has done this historically (post war situation WAS different in that the gold standard was still a part of the monetary system).
Fed today controls rates which ultimately controls usage of money.. The frictions you're talking about are worse than they have ever been by the way.

I would also never hope for collapse, as in any true collapse scenario the amount of wealth destruction would be so great that human progress would likely be set back very far. I do see cryptocurrency as an emerging answer to the monetary problems for individual global wealth storage because of its antifragility. I don't think we are close to a real collapse. I think the system can chug along even with major rules changes like the FDIC, suspension of the gold window, and the legislative expansion of the monetary base that occurred in 2008 as a response to save the banks. All three changed the game massively, with arguably positive effects on wealth creation since their implementation but arguably negative effects on developing true systemic resilience. As this old system deals with the inability for there to be large scale wars due to nuclear weapons, I would bet that the nominal price of bitcoin will increase simply because more and more money will have to be printed and bitcoin can be owned and transported globally independent of any particular government.

True. Interest rates were near zero from 08-15 and now they're only like 2.5%, similar to the early 2000's during subprime boom. Also, there has been a moral hazard created by the gov't bailout in '08. I believe it's probable that the shadow market in CLO's and their derivatives is flourishing, especially since there are entire floors of traders who are yield-starved and hungry for a fat bonus check.

yes, I agree that Novogratz is not wrong to say that, and I have long seen btc as being not only digital gold but "the best gold", because its supply model is independent of political influence and its security model is not based in political dealings and is or is becoming decentralized. that's not because I'm against politics I just think it's a good investment for that reason much like gold. having a limited supply is only worth what the security model is worth at the current time, which is why I also like litecoin and will probably buy any proof of work coin that gets to the asic stage on a given algorithm. but bitcoin is the first real digital asset with scarcity like that and it also has the new property of not being able to be confiscated unless you are coerced into speaking 12 words, it can be brought on an airplane if you were traveling completely naked without luggage, and it can be sent across the world cheaply. that is brand new

Okay so here in USA (or canada lol) the government currently has positive yield bonds, which means you buy a bond (give the govt some money) and it pays you some interest over time, and then eventually pays back the bond face value. The combination of the price and interest payments equals your yield.
We have positive yields.
German bonds currently have negative yields, which means you give the government a dollar and it gives you back 98 cents in a year (or wahtver period).

This is bad because we like inflation. Inflation is growth under current monetary theory, and we stimulate growth by encouraging people to invest to constantly try and keep up with inflation (wealth destruction).

This also leads to a misallocation in the economy. People spend or invest frivolously to try to beat the increase in the money supply and grow their wealth. Jobs are not inherently good if they are useless. It's just a waste of time for everyone. Deflationary systems reallocate resources to the most productive means because otherwise it's more profitable to simply save. Inflation is consumption in the short term at the expense of the long term. Deflation is abstention in the short term for the benefit of the long term.

Look Link is a little different okay, but look at BAT for example.
No reason that it's marketcap would go up.
If anything the values would be nominal USD and the blockchain BAT runs on would just be used for transfers.
