People MUST learn about what money is and how it works. We're lucky to have Bitcoin as a corrective measure, but "educated masses" would be a real blow to the system! View quoted note →

Everyone (and their mom) should read "The Gold Standard". It provides a fascinating historical record that exposes the modern banking scam. One cannot help but feel devastated by the waste of the human productivity, potential, and ultimately - a waste of countless human lives. All orchestrated by a relatively small group of people (if we can call them that). Profit and power over everything. War is lucrative, humans are disposable. I was LIVID while reading the history part! Even though I didn't need any convincing even before this, there is now no doubt in my mind that they would do anything imaginable and unimaginable to us. The next time someone says - " There's no way they would go that far", I will only laugh (or cry?). People seriously need to study history. I don't know if real Saifedean Ammous is on Nostr, but if you are - thank you. If "The Bitcoin Standard" was transformative, "The Gold Standard" is eye opening.

"the night is darkest before the dawn” isn’t just a fun thing to say, it reveals something fundamental about human nature: both individually and collectively we will almost invariably put things off until we *have* to do them. View quoted note →

If you want to decimate your productivity and make your feed unusable, just follow @Biro Bela Upside is you'll laugh like a maniac most of the time.

I "love" how quick some people are to shit on bitcoin and to laugh at the price dump when, at the same time, they say nothing when their fiat purchasing power gets obliterated year after year. What took one whole generation in past now happens in the span of few years. But hey - they don't see red candles for that.
