Matt - Just mute me, bro. matt@gitcitadel.com 4 months ago

I realized recently that the consumer side is just as important as the producer side. I'm actually casting a vote in the market every time I buy something. So if I keep buying shit instead of quality (if I don't have to - it would be unfair to say everyone can or should by the best things no matter what), I'm voting for shit. I can't go on to complain when I had a choice and made the wrong one.

Drawn this conclusion as well. The downside is having to really decipher between product quality against high priced low-quality which you get in NZ as manufacturing is low and most stuff is imported.

Yeah, that's why I added the caveat. Things are so monumentally fucked right now that it's unreasonable to be the perfect consumer. It's a massive socioeconomic problem. All we can do is our best.

Or producer for that matter. I think Ben has discussed how he still has to pay certain supply bills in fiat. But he does the best he can for a better world. Unfortunately we are too early to see a perfect market, but it's better than nothing and the next generations will see it.
