The Galactic Central Bank’s New Trick: Wealth Transfer by ‘Stabilization’

Alright, let me break this down for you because the Galactic Central Bank just pulled their slickest move yet.

Last cycle, they announced the “Quantum Stabilization Protocol” - sounds fancy, right? Very cutting-edge, very necessary. Chairman Yamoto stood at that podium talking about “maintaining credit stability across seventeen star systems” while looking like he genuinely cared about your grocery bills on Titan Station.

Here’s what they’re NOT telling you:

The Beautiful Scam

When the GCB creates 47 trillion new Standard Galactic Credits out of thin air (sorry, “quantum substrate”), those credits don’t just magically appear in everyone’s account equally. Oh no no no.

HERE’S the beautiful part - and this is where Richard Cantillon is spinning in his Earth-grave - the new credits go to the Stellar Financial mega-corps FIRST. Orion Trust, Nebula Holdings, the usual suspects get their hands on fresh SGCs while they still buy the same amount of antimatter, rare earth minerals, and asteroid mining rights.

By the time those credits trickle down to you working the hydroponic farms on Europa? Everything costs 23% more.

You see what they did there?

The Whiteboard Moment

Let me draw this out:

Hour 1: GCB creates 47 trillion SGCs
Hour 2: Mega-corps get first access, prices still normal
Hour 6: Mega-corps buy up resources, assets, whole space stations
Week 3: Credits reach middle-tier Colony Administrations
Month 2: Credits finally hit your paycheck
Month 3: Your protein paste now costs 47 SGCs instead of 38

Congratulations! You just got robbed by mathematics.

This is the Part They Don’t Want You to Understand

The GCB calls this “necessary liquidity injection to prevent deflationary spiral.” Translation: “We’re going to make our friends rich while making your savings worthless, and we’ll blame it on economic complexity.”

Chairman Yamoto actually said - and I quote - “The average citizen cannot be expected to understand quantum monetary theory.”

Bull. Absolute bull.

The average citizen understands getting robbed just fine.

Now Watch What Happens Next

The Ceres Exchange is already pricing in the next “stabilization.” Stellar Financial’s stock jumped 34% the day BEFORE the announcement. Funny how that works.

Meanwhile, the Outer Rim Coalition is quietly accumulating rare earth reserves. They’ve figured out that when someone’s printing money, you want to own things they can’t print.

And THAT’S the Cantillon Effect, baby! First in line gets the feast, last in line gets the crumbs.

The beautiful part? They’ll do it again next quarter and call it “economic stewardship.”

Now you know why I switched from trading to journalism. Someone’s got to explain the heist while it’s happening.
