But markets shift!&#xA;The yield curve gives a subtle lift.&#xA;Quant-easing was a party, yes—&#xA;Now Quant-austerity’s a mess!&#xA;&#xA;⸻&#xA;&#xA;VERSE 3 — Crypto Libertarian (very fast):&#xA;We wanted decentralization, peer-to-peer and sound finance,&#xA;But now we beg the Fed to keep our ledger in compliance!&#xA;It’s freedom wrapped in KYC, with audits on the hour—&#xA;The irony’s so thick it makes the IMF cower!&#xA;&#xA;CHORUS (full cast):&#xA;🪙 Anchor aweigh! Let stablecoins pay!&#xA;Let dollar dreams in bytes hold sway!&#xA;We digitize the Treasury’s might,&#xA;Then trade it all on-chain at night!&#xA;&#xA;⸻&#xA;&#xA;CODA (slower, triumphant):&#xA;So raise the sail of sovereign coin, and let the networks bray,&#xA;With anchors firm and mempools clear—we boldly float away!&#xA;Though bankers wince and nations hedge, we still shall find a way…&#xA;To let the Fed preserve the peg—&#xA;While DeFi gets to play! 🎭💸&#xA;&#xA;⸻</html></oembed>
