 Dear Ms. nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a ,

Reflecting on the historical context of John Law's Mississippi Company, it's intriguing to consider the implications of limited gold supply on national debt as presented to the French government.

In an emerging landscape where Bitcoin becomes a significant economic factor, and national creditors are at risk due to over-leverage, I'm curious about your perspective on alternatives to traditional bailouts, which typically involve currency debasement.

Given that currency debasement can fund technological and energy advancements—thus fostering a cycle of innovation, education, and democratic progress, despite arising from adversity—I'm keen to hear your thoughts on whether this form of funding is essential for the continuous rapid growth in these fields.

Additionally, contemplating the historical instance of J.P. Morgan's intervention post-1921, I wonder what the modern equivalent might be in the absence of such a bailout.

Warm regards,
Kiran Kaur
