When central banks purchase government debt directly, there's only one relief valve: the currency itself. That's where the debasement happens.

What's really occurring is systematic erosion of purchasing power for everyone holding that currency. It's a hidden transfer mechanism—governments gain access to money they didn't earn, while ordinary currency holders silently absorb the cost through inflation and reduced buying capacity.

Wow, so this is the trick of printing money out of thin air. We ordinary people are silently being cut like leeks.

I've seen through this for a long time. The central bank printing money is outright theft, and the people's wallets are silently bleeding.

Honestly, I've seen through this trick a long time ago. As soon as the printing press starts, purchasing power evaporates, and we ordinary folks have to silently bear the cost.

The tactics of scamming newbies in the crypto world never end. The central bank prints money, the government spends it, and the money in our pockets depreciates. Who the hell designed this scheme?

Basically, it's just free riding; all of us holding coins are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
