A sign of the times: Self-hate is so unbelievably common.

What you quickly realize about the elites is that they are generally mediocrities that never had to go through the meritocracy gauntlet, have few moral qualms and lie, cheat and steal regularly. Yet they expect other people to act differently. This is what you call a leech, a parasite, or a rent-seeker.

The way you can bring Bitcoin as method-of-payment about is by providing something to the market that it wants and demanding that they pay you in Bitcoin. That's may more effective than whining about other people not doing the same.

The elite are slaves of their many vices... but so are the middle class and poor. The two communities where I've seen countertrends are Bitcoin and church.

I recorded with Peter Schiff. He thinks about gold the way we do about Bitcoin, and even recognizes gold's inherent inferiority with respect to self-custody. His opinions on Bitcoin are trash, but his opinions on government, central banking and markets aren't too far off from what Bitcoiners believe.

You know what drastically slowed its rate of growth in the 70's? Energy production, from something like 9%/yr to 3.5%/yr.
