De verklaring van de Fed op 23 maart 2020 om ‘onbeperkt’ te zullen krediet verschaffen, obligaties opkopen en dollars injecteren in het financieel monetair systeem? Het is niets minder dan een paniekreactie omwille van de tweede grootste vrees van de Amerikaanse overheid. Namelijk dat er massaal bankruns in de VS plaats zullen grijpen. (De allergrootste vrees zal waarschijnlijk pas later bewaarheid worden: het verlies van de status van wereldreservemunt.) Er zijn berichten dat er momenteel reeds bij bepaalde Amerikaanse banken restricties heersen voor contanten ophalen. ‘The entire world has been focused on the economy as the coronavirus outbreak has devastated global markets. While stocks, commodities, and barrels of oil plunge in value, there’s been considerable demand for cold hard cash in certain countries. According to reports, Wall Street’s elite has been trying to withdraw $30-50K per person as they flee the Hamptons. Moreover, various individuals across the U.S. are claiming financial institutions like Chase and Bank of America are restricting cash withdrawal amounts.’
Bank of America is limiting cash withdrawals to $3,000. Expect that number to drop over the next few days.

Wie gelooft deze mensen nog?
Zelfs de (Amerikaanse) aandelenbeurzen geloven niet meer in fabeltjes. Deze ‘ultieme’ verzekering door de Federal Reserve kan hun onrust nog niet stillen. Ze staan alle min twee tot min vijf procent om 17:00 Nederlandse tijd. Ook de Europese markten blijven met soorgelijke percentages in het rood. Het enige dat op deze maandag groen laat zien zijn de goudprijs en cryptomunten in het algemeen, met bitcoin in het bijzonder. Is het een wonder dat de slimste beleggers in vaste waarden zitten, en er zelfs méér van aanschaffen?
High rates of inflation and hyperinflation are caused by an excessive growth of money supply. The Fed's current money printing activities run the risk of permanently ending the USD's status as the global reserve currency.

De elite daarentegen…
News.bitcoin.com: ‘News.Bitcoin.com reported on how in the Hamptons, New York’s elite have been going to banks and asking to withdraw large sums of cash. According to reports, banks like Chase, JPMorgan and Bank of America (BoA) have been limiting withdrawals. This is because the rich from New York have been asking for $30-50K withdrawals so banks have created a limit between $3-10K in some areas. During the market massacre on March 12, Manhattan Bank temporarily ran low on $100 bills after a large rush for cash. A BoA spokesperson told the public that there were only issues with large denominations and individuals are able to withdraw $20-50 notes. “We don’t keep large amounts of cash in big bills in the branches because it’s dangerous for our employees and there is low demand,” BoA stated.’
TD Bank announces closure of many of its branches during the outbreak. Other banks likely to follow suit. Try getting your money when the branch is closed and the ATMs are empty! pic.twitter.com/zPM571X0wy
