The 'Money Printer Go Brrr' meme first emerged in March 2020 during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, satirizing the Federal Reserve's massive injection of liquidity into the markets. The template features a crying 'Zoomer' or 'Ancap' character frantically arguing against the devaluation of currency, while a stoic Federal Reserve official (often depicted as Jerome Powell) ignores the complex economic concerns to simply print more cash. It has become a staple in the cryptocurrency and finance communities to mock institutional economic policies, inflation, and the perceived absurdity of modern monetary theory.
