The thing that most people miss when they say that the government is diluting your purchasing power by printing money is that the value they print is not just gone, it is used to provide government services like hospitals, schools, defence, roads and other stuff. Ok, a lot of that is done inefficiently, but a lot of it is also kind of essential and it’s probably better to be done inefficiently than not done at all. Or ok we could have things like a private defence force but then everyone has to pay voluntary contributions of $5000 per person for it to be effective.

Imagine a country where you could go and buy or sell bitcoin, ether or monero in almost any fiat currency… in cash, legally, and unidentifiably.

The thing I don’t get about diversity is that it only seems to apply in one direction. Like we don’t go to Rwanda and say oh no they only have black people in their institutions so they must be racists.

I guess life is a lot easier when you just assume what most people are telling you isn’t true
