Episode notes

Central banks own about 50% of the sovereign bonds that are out there. So many of these modern central bank policies actually do is they buy bonds on the open market. That has kind of a distorting effect as well, but it's really interesting when you start to look at real returns. Staked ETH is the lowest, like the highest yield, it's almost like the risk free rate of ether as an asset.
