THE TWO BIGGEST CRITICISMS OF DOGECOIN ARE TOTALLY WRONG

In today's @markets newsletter, I wrote about how Dogecoin might have a better monetary policy than Bitcoin, and why its lack of developer community is irrelevant

@markets The lack of developers is the most hilarious thing to attack Dogecoin for.

Dude it's a joke coin with a dog mascot! WTF does it need development for?
@markets And the criticism is especially rich coming from Bitcoiners, who usually understand this point very well, that cryptos are money not tech, and therefore the same expectations of the software industry shouldn't apply and that if anything regular innovation and iteration is bad.
@markets And in terms of issuance, it's not obvious at all that Bitcoin's hard cap is superior to Dogecoin's issuance in perpetuity. Maybe it is. But an asymptotically declining Block Reward maintains predictable, algorithmic scarcity while also keeping incentive for miners.

THIS IS BITCOIN'S WRONGEST TALKING POINT

In today's @markets newsletter, I wrote about the claim that Bitcoin is now the 5th biggest currency in the world and why comparing its market cap to the "monetary base" of fiat currencies is nonsense.

@markets CC: @crypto_voices @nic__carter @balajis and the many others who have attempted to compare Bitcoin to fiat in this way.
@markets @crypto_voices @nic__carter @balajis I didn't have space to get into it in the piece. But conceptually just talking about the "amount" of a fiat currency is just not that useful, since it's relatively easy in an endogenous money system to create new money by posting an existing asset as collateral and get a loan

All the numbers a little warmer than expected

CPI ex-food and energy rises 0.3% from last month vs. the 0.2% expected.

On a year over year basis, core is up 1.6% from last year vs. 1.5% expected.

And on a headline basis it's 2.6% vs. 2.5% expected.

Basically no impact on markets. Stock futures actually up a little bit post data.
No real change to 5 year yields
