+## Log
+
+This past month I read through Jeff Booth's [The Price of Tomorrow](https://b-ok.xyz/book/5521985/be464d). It was an ok
+read. I must confess I was very hyped about it since Jeff's appeareances in different interviews and podcasts are
+great, and everyone and their mother say that the book is brilliant, but I was not that impressed. I felt the book
+covered the idea that we are heading towards a tremendously deflationary era interestingly, but there were many other
+contents which felt like dull, average-business-magazine ideas, like the section on AI. I also felt a bit disappointed
+because Jeff makes a great point on how deflation poses a societal challenge since our current distribution of wealth
+through salaried labour will break down and we don't have an alternative for that now, but didn't really discuss much
+what could be done about that.
+
+Actively reading on ideas about deflation put it in the background on my mind and lately I kept on seeing things in my
+daily life and somehow relating them to deflation. A few days ago, I was watching TV news and they pulled some charts
+with the [demographic pyramids](https://www.populationpyramid.net/europe/2022/) of a few countries. As it tends to be
+with these sections, the message was rather alarmist, warning about how the pension systems of a few countries in
+Western Europe would become unsustainable (_if only these demographic changes could be foreseen decades ahead, maybe
+then governments could have smoothly pivoted the pension systems to more adequate schemes instead of dooming future
+generations to be left holding the bag..._) and how the economy would stop growing.
+
+This desire for the population to grow constantly has always puzzled me. Why is it desirable at all? A friend of mine
+and I used to end up stuck at traffic jams and we would joke about how our city would be so much friendly if we only
+had half the people around. I guess there are many things nowadays which can only be sustained if the population growth
+rate stays positive, but is it truly negative if they break down? Or is it just that sort of positive destruction that
+Austrian economics defends as healthy because it re-allocates resources into the right ventures?
+
+I guess I need to get my hands on a book about demographics now... Thanks for reading and I'll see you around next
+month.

+- Discuss the following quote from the Fiat Standard
+
+    > While many
+	people would be tempted to exit fiat debt entirely and shift to holding hard
+	bitcoin savings, the continued existence and wide availability of fiat debt
+	will offer a strong incentive to borrow fiat and use it to accumulate bitcoin.
+	One of the smartest and most far-seeing analysts of bitcoin, Pierre
+	Rochard, had identified this phenomenon as early as 2013, outlining how
+	bitcoin allows investors worldwide to carry out a speculative attack on all
+	national currencies similar to what George Soros and beneficiaries of low
+	interest rate lending have been doing to weak national currencies for
+	decades, with spectacular success. The speculative attack strategy is to
+	borrow the weak currency, and use the proceeds to buy the stronger
+	currency. As the borrowing of the weak currency causes an increase in its
+	supply, selling it to buy the strong currency causes a decrease in demand
+	for it, and results in the decline of its value next to the stronger currency.
+	This reduces the value of the loan the attacker owes, and increases the
+	value of the currency he holds, a highly lucrative combination. With bitcoin
+	a harder currency than all national currencies, it could serve as the perfect
+	launchpad for attacks against national currencies. It is a natural evolution
+	of the interaction between the two forms of money: hard bitcoin is
+	optimized for appreciating as it is held, while fiat is optimized for devaluing
+	as it is inflated and lent. The likelihood of speculative attacks casts doubt
+	on the monetary upgrade scenario discussed above. How long can fiat
+	survive if people can keep inflating its supply by borrowing it to buy harder
+	bitcoin? We have never seen a similar situation and it is hard to estimate how this will unfold.
