 ECB cuts deposit facility rate by 0.25 percentage points. 

Christine Lagarde says inflation will decline to 2% [theft of purchasing power] per year in 2025.

Remember, kids: fiat monetary inflation never stops, it just slows down enough so you forget they’re robbing you. https://v.nostr.build/46OxNBVikPohyb9v.mp4  
 How are you uploading video directly to clients? I have a difficult time doing that for longer duration videos on damus 
 Nostr.build
Different plans available. 
 I uploaded this one directly on @damus 

For ~5 minute videos I use @nostr.build 

For my long-form @Titcoin episodes (1.5-2 hours) I host the videos on https://satellite.earth/cdn then post them via @Highlighter 
 Thank you 🤝🏼 
 “to 2% [theft of purchasing power]”

Great! 😄 
 Lagarde is also a mistake like von der Leyen 
 2% pa theft is the accepted norm.

It roughly tallies with the loss of gold's purchasing power, also due to the supply inflation. 
 And no one asked this convicted criminal why it hasn't come down to 2% while rates were HIGHER? 
 Don't forget that Lagarde is a convicted criminal, and should have served jail time.

 Also don't forget the 2% is in addition to the 6-9% of deflation we should have due to improving technology.

The world would be far better off without nation-states. And deflation would actually be much larger, because all the creatives would be free to innovate INSTEAD of scrambling to compensate for massive state theft...
 
 She also said this would happen in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. 
 Hey, Walker!😃

Please don't forget; Jeff Booth insists that "2 percent inflation" is *actually* a SEVEN PERCENT THEFT of purchasing power.

You have to START with humanity's normal 5% ANNUAL DEFLATION of all goods and services due to brilliant inventions, innovations, and improvements...

Anyone who believes state lies about a "two percent inflation rate" is probably delusional about a LOT of other things as well.😜 The REAL rate of $USD inflation could be as much as 10% or more, bringing state theft by inflation alone to a whopping 15%...

And don't get me started on TAXATION...

Remind me again; Why do we want this thieving gang of thugs (AKA, the government) ruling and robbing us?🤔🧐😳🤬❔❓❔❓❔
