Balaji Srinivasan, former Coinbase CTO, burned $1 million in a video message on Twitter to warn about the current "fiat crisis" being worse than the 2008 financial crisis. Srinivasan claims that there are several economic crises happening at the same time, including a banking crisis, debt ceiling crisis, municipal budget crisis, bond crisis, commercial real estate crisis, de-dollarization crisis, auto loan crisis, credit card crisis, medical debt crisis, student loan crisis, insurance crisis, trade war crisis, and energy crisis. These simultaneous crises could result in a massive economic contraction and force the Fed to print trillions to stimulate the economy and bail out too-big-to-fail industries. Morgan Stanley reportedly agrees with this assessment. The issue is that flooding the system with money when it is already experiencing high inflation will lead to a fiat crisis, which is the loss of global faith in the US financial system. Srinivasan suggests that individuals prepare for this possibility, although it is not the end of the world.
