Utterly useless as a currency, at least bitcoin is helping coal make a resurgence. "The lofty prices of cryptocurrencies have investors sinking money into electricity generation, risking a backlash"

Utterly useful as a policy, continuing to buy 100s of billions of $$ in Treasuries and mortgages well into an economic recovery ... and coincident with the greatest bull market in risk-taking ever ... is at least helping Housing Bubble-era house price increases make a resurgence
108 years later and the Fed is pushing people into poverty as they enable the military industrial complex and overconsumption. This enablement has led to mass murder, untold amounts of wasted energy resources, and a degenerate yield chasing society.

Utterly useless as a savings mechanism, at least the $USD is helping oil & conflict make a resurgence. "The lofty new supply of the PetroDollar has investors sinking more money into middle eastern conflicts, risking a backlash"
