1. #Billionaire venture capitalist #Chamath Palihapitiya dismisses concerns over the recent downgrade of the #US credit rating by Fitch, emphasizing that the United States still holds the world's most dominant economy.

2. Palihapitiya #views the downgrade as irrelevant and criticizes Fitch as a marginal credit-rating agency that is late to the conversation. He argues that the US debt to #GDP ratio is relatively favorable compared to other countries, like Japan.

3. He asserts that the US will remain a key economic force globally, making it unlikely for central banks to find a suitable alternative to the US dollar for their foreign reserves, and considers the focus on debt to GDP ratio as misleading in the broader economic context.

Billionaire #Chamath Palihapitiya believes that persistent #inflation and high interest rates are here to stay, at least until the end of the decade. In a new episode of the All-In Podcast, the #venturecapitalist says that sticky inflation will likely force the #FederalReserve to keep interest rates high in the coming years.
