I explained this in the best detail I could to close friends and family last night. The were glued to my every word intently throughout my monologue. When I finished, they promptly got up from where they were sitting, and each explained in various ways that it was time for them to go to bed… 🫤 Need to work on my pitch… nevent1qqsvs0qfcakupgrpqznaf5lpt5encj457readj3r5dz535qrv7xaxvspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgewrqhe

Because it’s not a common sense in an upside down world.

I think that all but few have the cognitive flexibility to realize that there must have been something in that Kool-Aid they drank…. I see no other reason for this concept being out of their grasp. And people in my circle have doctoral level degrees, self made millionaires, fortune 100 C Suite, etc. None are immune… I have used the “has it become more expensive or tricky to make a loaf of bread? A shovel? Etc. when I pose it like that, I have sometimes seen a flicker behind their eyes, but so often it is doused by the Kool-Aid. My elementary school aged son is being brought up, Kool-Aid free, and we have thousands of kids in LATAM that are being brought up in this truth. I pray that it changes this dynamic!

Yes, mindboggling for fiat minds. Crazy!

It's so obvious and once you see it, you can't unsee it. The rat race is a treadmill. Just get off and walk towards bitcoin.

Losing a job because of technological advancement would be way less of a deal if you'd been able to save in a hard money your whole life.

#funny #cli reply: I tried to test the (algia), which is a command line tool to deal with #nostr protocol, I think it will help me to post to my nostr account using #Termux on my #Android, this allows me to schedule my posts and maybe there are more uses to discover.

Imagine how much less of a burden the welfare state would "need" to be (to meet people's expectations). Every year the narrative is always about increasing transfers to help cost of living, or increasing numbers of people facing material hardship. Same goes for "government services" financed through tax. Societal shifts would be immense from this alone.

People are programmed to parrot the Keynesian lie that deflation is bad. The craziest part to me is people seem more interested in being right and getting poorer, than being wrong and getting richer.

We would be more responsible

Really important to think about these issues!!

It is difficult to imagine because we are generations that weren't born during a gold-standard driven economy.

i dont get why they dont get it its a dont get world is my guess

The system is rotten precisely because it goes the opposite of what it should go 🤷‍♂️ instead of improving the quality of life of citizens getting worse every year. And the fault is the god money who is rotten and corrupt. And they print it inflating it more and more

But 2% inflation provides monetary stimulus🤡 How they managed to make people believe inflation is good is something I will never understand

looking forward to the great taking series. the first part was 🔥🔥🔥

I'd prefer a time when it costs only 10% of today's living costs to cover all of the necessities of life in modern society. The other 90% could be put anymore non-inflationary savings or investments, with a portion of that used to spend apart from the necessities of life.

Great

Great 🌤️

LFG

I think people do experience this with technology. Everyone has a smartphone now. Few experience with everything.
