Did anyone ever believe QE would be reversed?

Keep the printing presses going - hyper inflation is the only way out

Well something is going to have to hit the reset button on a massive scale, the last time that was really done was WW2.

Being realistic the way money and credit functions was busted wide open around 2008, I have been wondering what will happen long term.

That would be the hyper inflation you've been banging on about for several years, which still hasn't happened?

Purely because the money is sitting in bank vaults. Besides, asset markets have been very frothy for a while now and a lot of central bank activity has been to exercise demand for and therefore subsidise government and other debtors and assets, like distressed mortgages. So just because the money hasn't leaked out, due to a perceived death of creditworthy borrowers and very targeted CB activity doesn't mean it won't happen when it enters the rest of the economy, unless of course there's a big debt contraction beforehand.

London's frothy property market is just one microcosm of bubbles activist central banks have helped instigate but for the time being it's constrained to the asset wealthy.

The financial (and other) commentary in the DT seems to have taken an absolute turd in the last year or so.

Bitcoin is starting to look like an attractive means of exchange for goods and trade all of sudden.

Meanwhile real currency devalues day after day. If you're at work earning in a currency whose central bank supports an active QE program then you're effectively trying to head upwards climbing the downwards escalator. In other words your efforts will not lead to progress and prosperity, which is exactly what the rich want.
