Bitcoin will demonetise housing and change the nature of the property ponzi. So in 2025 where there are still a lot of people who think rental property investment is a good idea, aren't they effectively holding the bag?

Many governments will go through the same mistakes that individuals and businesses made over the years: - shitcoining - thinking they have to mine - not being serious about accumulation and self custody of bitcoin

Low quality money, low quality behaviours. High quality money, high quality behaviours.

There's a perception that bitcoiners are financial doomers. The truth is that bitcoiners see the corruption of a fiat inflationary system. It seeps into our societies, corroding our moral values and our economies. Bitcoin is a positive way out.
