Somebody really needs to explain the law of supply and demand to these people.

They propose to invest 7% of all the money in the world in US Treasury bills and use the interest to eliminate poverty.

Of course if they came anywhere near that goal interest rates on T-Bills would plummet.

We note this elsewhere [0] -- and it's a fair rejoinder that we should probably include this on our actual website -- but if Glo reaches trillions of dollars of market cap, we're most likely operating in a world where we issue multiple stablecoins in different currencies. Each reserve would then be backed by government bonds denominated in each stablecoin's currency.

It's certainly true that if we added trillions in new demand for any particular asset, or even class of asset, we'd change the market a lot. At the point where we 'exhaust' demand for government bonds and drive their returns to zero, the global monetary environment would look so different that we'd probably need to adjust multiple things about our strategy and implementation. The doc in the original link is intended as a vision of what we think is possible in terms of scale, but the fact that we're talking about the far future pretty much necessitates that some of the implementation details will have to be clarified when we know more.
