If Trump gets his way and removes Jerome Powell as chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, the market reaction would be swift and brutal, Deutsche Bank’s George Saravelos argues.

It could collapse the currency and bond markets, he says in a note seen by Fortune. Polymarket puts the chances of a Powell ouster at 19%.

“We consider the removal of Chair Powell as one of the largest underpriced event risks,” Saravelos says.

My understanding is that it was deliberately designed that way because it was intended to be used as a medium of exchange and not a vehicle for investment.

    One of those fundamentals is a tightly scheduled supply. The tail emission is just to ensure mining security and is insignificant compared to XMR appreciation. That's why the guy above saves gold and Monero.

    Hell yeah. Also have a look at XMRBazaar.com where you can buy and sell legal goods and services directly for Monero. X premium, Spotify, Canva pro, laptops, houses, cars, etc. are all on there and many things are priced directly in Monero.
