This is why we #Bitcoin
I asked Grok the following:
Q: Would the economy be better off if there was no central bank (like the Federal Reserve) to interfere?
A: No, the economy would likely *not* be better off without a central bank, according to the broad consensus in mainstream economics.
Then I asked a followup:
Q: Now let’s take a look from the Austrian fixed money POV
A: From the Austrian School perspective, particularly emphasizing a fixed or slowly growing money supply (e.g., under a strict commodity standard like gold, where new supply comes only from mining), the economy would be *vastly better off* without a central bank. Central banks are seen as the primary source of economic instability, not a stabilizer.
