Jack has a vested interest in hyperinflation through Square and his investment in Bitcoin


Maybe he does think that his life as a wealthy person is going to improve in any way with hyperinflation. I'd disagree completely.

In fact, I think hyperinflation in the U.S. could likely stir up wars that (as we've imagined since the cold war) could very well break the world. Of course I know nothing of value about this, but chaos followed by violence and escalating into full blown war sounds possible. Or at the very least more possible than now, with a stable structure of power(s) that only shift gradually.

I don't think crypto coins are useful if the world order dissolves and we have trouble keeping up eletric grids, much less a working internet.


he also has a vested interest in the fear of hyperinflation.

How would Square benefit from hyperinflation?


The bitcoin.


Only people who don't understand the wealth destroying affects of hyperinflation will actually cheer for it.
