BTC Curaçao Institute

What A beauty I got from the Peter Kroll Family during the graduation of the first 6 students of the My First Bitcoin. @My First Bitcoin 10 weeks of global Bitcoin training, right from Curaçao, a beautiful island in the Caribbean. Here it is hot, not cold like this Coinkite.

After hearing Natalie Brunell talk about Coinkite after so many episodes on Youtube in her show with Jeff Booth I finally got mine.

Now I’m pumped, feeling a little bit cold with this cold card!!!!

Now send me some Bitcoin, lol, so I can put it in this cold baby, lol.

So happy to sit next to our chairman of BTC Curaçao Institute as an instructor of the Mi Primer Bitcoin first ever graduation ceremony on Curaçao!! The first educational block hashed.

Peter Kroll signing the certificates of 6 students here after 10 weeks of teaching in the beautiful Orange House on Curaçao.

Mrs. Kroll created this beautiful training orange room that feels like a home on Curaçao.

All students received Bitcoin training and the book used in the whole world. Our lessons were given in the native language of Curaçao: Papiamentu.

So if you ever visit Curaçao, which ranks 5th on the BTC Map as we have number of businesses that accept Bitcoin, make sure you meet these 6 new graduated students of the Bitcoin family.

In economic war everything is related. You hurt my export with tariffs, I hurt your bonds market, and your real estate, and your banking…

I build economic models of islands and of big countries.

And what you learn is : all sectors of the economy are related!!

Something happens here, it flows to the other sector. Something happens with tariffs and it flows to the labor market and you lose your job.

And it goes from the labour market to the financial sector. Because without your job, you can’t pay your mortgages! So the banks suffer.

This also happens globally.

Take the tariffs of USA on China, on Europe. On Germany. On Denmark.

Those are in the real sector. On goods.

Also affecting the external sector. Where you trade with others.

You think you are done. I raise tariffs and I’m done!!

But like I said: everything is linked.

And this is what people often don’t see!! The links.

Ok you raise tariffs, I am China and Europe and I got less exports now. Because you made my products more expensive for your citizens.

But I, China, got 700 billion USD of your bonds. I European countries each got billions of your bonds.

If I dump these bonds, I sell because I don’t trust you any more, now it has flown into the financial/monetary sector. And the banking sector.

I sell your bonds. The prices of your 10 year bonds go down.

If prices of bonds go down, the yields of bonds go up.

Imagine the 10 year bond yield moves up from 4% to 5%. Or from 4% to 6%.

Now your banks that are loaded with 10 year bonds of say 3% are all at a loss!!

It entered your banking sector now.

Banks are making losses. Some of them collapse.

People lose their deposits.

Now you have to print money. To save the banks.

This is great for Bitcoin. Because you cannot print Bitcoin.

Now at higher costs for money, your real estate suffers.

It entered the real estate market.

If people were getting mortgages at 4% plus 2% first, at 6%, now with higher yields mortgage also could be at 8%.

Now nobody can afford a home.

You see how it can bounce back to you?

If you have a debt of 38 trillion USD, check who is holding your bonds.

Check the yields.

Check what could happen.

PS: in this scenario islands in the Caribbean are also at a higher costs. Because their central banks raise their interest rates based on what happens in the USA because their currencies are pegged to the US dollar.

Imagine if European countries start dumping 25% of their USA bonds

President Trump has found the hammer to hit the world: tariffs. 25%!

If you don’t cooperate, it will go higher: 35%.

But I have to let you know: if you play with fire you can be burnt.

What if Euope hits back by dumping 25% of the USA bonds?

In this chart and in this file you see what the power is of European countries.

https://ticdata.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/tic/Documents/slt_table3.html

These are data from the USA treasuries.

It shows each country holding USA bonds.

To calculate the impact you would need to:

Add the current bonds of all European countries.

Take 25%

And imagine what would happen with the USA bond market if bonds get dumped.

Yields would go up as prices go down.

And USA could not take it!

It would devastate the business of USA.

Wallstreet, banks, and Mainstreet would suffer.

I’m not saying Europe should do this. I’m just saying what would happen?

If you are playing with tariffs you could get hit.
