      14/ I addressed maturity transformation earlier when I said that we trade apples for oranges all the time, at ratios that are not 1:1 ... and "dollars today" vs "dollars in 1 year" are like apples and oranges. https://twitter.com/sconzey/status/1188964682691940353 …

      15/ Now, your SPECIFIC example is a bit of a cheat because you're not announcing the maturity transformation until after the IOU has been accepted. In reality when I buy a debt note (a bond that pays principle in 20 years) I know the transformation when I buy it.

      16/ Trade is good. Trade creates value. Farmer A has more apples than he wants. Farmer B has more oranges than he wants. Letting them trade creates utility for both of them. Same with "money now" vs "money later". >>>

      17/ When I was 25 I wanted to buy a house, but had no money. I wanted a loan. Now that I'm 48 I have a fully paid off house and have surplus cash that is doing me no good. I want to make loans. This is maturity transformation. This is trading apples for oranges THIS IS GOOD

      18/ I've already asked in this thread and gotten no answer: what percent of your net worth do you store in cash? I ask this every time, and no one EVER answers. Odd. https://twitter.com/SoSayethBob/status/1188960072409341952 …

      Right now, about 1%. It fluctuates between .5 and 1% typically.

      so if your net worth is, averaged over your lifetime, $1 M and on average 0.5% is in cash / dollars in an account and that loses 2% per year bc of inflation you lose $100/yr or $4k over your adult life pretty trivial compared to income taxes, sales taxes, real estate taxes.

      4k isn't even my real estate taxes last year.

      same and so my argument is "normal middle class people lose basically $0 to the level of inflation we have in the US...and therefore inflation should not be a topic they care much about"

          This goes back to whining about fiat currency?
