Currency debasement turned a generation into gamblers because saving doesn't build wealth anymore. "The existing system doesn't work for them, that they're not able to build wealth in it, they can't save in dollars. So it's kind of like win big or die trying." - (Gary_Brode)

> petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer, and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult. - George Orwell, 1984

How about we detach from the Jesuit Order. Oh wait, that means we have to die in order to do that. It means our leaders would be afraid of Yevah instead of the Jesuit Superior General.

When a currency is debased, everything is a gamble. Holding fiat is gambling. Even buying bitcoin. You can’t escape risk in a zero sum game
