David: 我认为大多数人没有将货币与能量联系起来。他们认为银行放贷是用存款人的钱,但实际上银行放贷会创造新的货币,这与借款人偿还贷款所需的努力有关。中央银行通过量化宽松政策创造的货币缺乏实际的能量或工作支撑,这可能会导致通货膨胀。借贷是将未来的收入提前到现在,需要付出努力偿还贷款,因此借贷应该谨慎。好的货币应该使用方便,无需过多考虑风险。如果我们不得不质疑能否取回资金,那么它就不是很好的货币。货币市场共同基金是介于法定货币和商业银行之间的一种货币形式,它也存在挤兑风险。商业银行的存款虽然也是“债务套债务”,但由于 FDIC 保险,其流动性相对较高。 Camden: 货币需要满足便捷性和保值性两个基本要求。货币可以分为公共货币和私人货币两种。私人货币的概念让我很着迷,例如银行存款虽然以美元计价,但本质上是私人机构的负债,与公共货币不同。比特币的创造与能源消耗直接相关,这与传统货币的能源消耗方式不同。在一些对本国货币信任度低、通货膨胀率高的国家,比特币因其不易操纵的特性而受到更多信任。加密货币是否合格的货币,不取决于其是否人为创造的,而取决于其是否满足便捷性、保值性和信任度等条件。“货币是债务套债务”的概念让我感到困惑,这如何影响人们对货币的信任?
