Commerce Secretary Lutnick needs US economic system on blockchain for some motive

Commerce Secretary Lutnick needs US economic system on blockchain for some motive

In a dramatic — and barely odd — pronouncement, US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick declared on nationwide tv that “the Division of Commerce goes to start out issuing its statistics on the blockchain.

He added, “We’re going to put GDP on the blockchain so people can use the blockchain for data, distribution, and then we’re going to make that available to the entire government, so all of you can do it.”

So yeah, Lutnick — who held and attested to Tether’s reserves– doesn’t appear to grasp what a blockchain is or the way it works.

Troubling? Provided that you care in regards to the world monetary system.

GDP on the blockchain?

The Federal Reserve Financial Knowledge (FRED) web site is taken into account the worldwide gold customary for correct reporting of nationwide financial information.

In fact, that isn’t sufficient for the Trump administration and Lutnick, who’re eager to cement Donald Trump’s legacy as “the crypto president.”

This will probably be a godsend for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which has already seen people fired for correcting information and employees numbers gutted by the likes Elon Musk’s failed DOGE experiment.

I believe you need a proof of precisely how the Division of Commerce’s statistics and US gross home product (GDP) will probably be positioned on the blockchain?

Sadly, that’s a state secret and for those who’re even asking it speaks volumes about your allegiances.

It’s essential to level out that everybody at Protos was initially unclear as to what GDP on the blockchain truly meant. Nevertheless, as soon as we have been instructed that it got here straight from the mouth of Howard Lutnick, all of us collectively realized that it was sensible.

Sure. GDP. On the blockchain.

Let’s stroll this by. Gross home product is, in response to the FRED web site, the market worth of the products and providers produced by labor and property situated in a rustic.

If placing all of that on “the blockchain” sounds not possible, it’s as a result of it’s. However Lutnick didn’t imply placing all US items and providers and property on the blockchain.

He meant placing the freely obtainable information, gathered and distributed quarterly, and straightforward to search out proper right here, on the blockchain.

Which blockchain will the info be on? Unclear.

Why is that this information, which is, once more, already freely obtainable and broadly distributed, going to be positioned on a blockchain in any respect? Unclear.

What did Lutnick imply when he stated “you all can do it” when citing GDP on the blockchain? Unclear.

All all people must know is that that is the modern and essential work the “Crypto President” and his stablecoin bestie are engaged on whereas tariffing your complete world and growing the nationwide debt exponentially.

It’s simply good to see that this administration has its priorities straight.
