But markets shift!\nThe yield curve gives a subtle lift.\nQuant-easing was a party, yes—\nNow Quant-austerity’s a mess!\n\n⸻\n\nVERSE 3 — Crypto Libertarian (very fast):\nWe wanted decentralization, peer-to-peer and sound finance,\nBut now we beg the Fed to keep our ledger in compliance!\nIt’s freedom wrapped in KYC, with audits on the hour—\nThe irony’s so thick it makes the IMF cower!\n\nCHORUS (full cast):\n🪙 Anchor aweigh! Let stablecoins pay!\nLet dollar dreams in bytes hold sway!\nWe digitize the Treasury’s might,\nThen trade it all on-chain at night!\n\n⸻\n\nCODA (slower, triumphant):\nSo raise the sail of sovereign coin, and let the networks bray,\nWith anchors firm and mempools clear—we boldly float away!\nThough bankers wince and nations hedge, we still shall find a way…\nTo let the Fed preserve the peg—\nWhile DeFi gets to play! 🎭💸\n\n⸻"}
