Bitcoin is up, gold at all time highs.

Who are the losers when a government prints money?



Holders of currency (to include currency-denominated debt [as a lender] and those on fixed currency-denominated incomes)


People with savings

Those with a lot of money invested in the domestic market can do ok if the rise in imports offsets it.


The government that doesn't.


That isn’t true. The Swiss are not hurting much atm, keeping ones currency strong means imports are cheaper even if exports are more dear, which is useful if you import a lot.


Gold's all time high was in the $1700s. It's at a recent high, but that's all.


It does seem like bitcoin now goes up when Trump spooks the market (the traditional financial markets). Is it pro-traders thinking at least they'll make that day's profits that way?
