Inflation is an invisible tax on everyone who uses that currency, which is why the US wants the entire world to use the US dollar.

Sadly, for most of the countries, it would be better to use dollars than their own currencies.

Don't take me wrong, for me the main reason USA citizens get less inflation is because they have guns

I think we’ve just been the last to really feel the effects.

Great way to highlight that fiat is really just an evil plan for world domination (since we started it)

Off the gold standard, first mover advantage on the fiat standard that we had just enough preexisting geopolitical influence/power to pull off, and then selfishly as an American™️ i hope we do the same for Bitcoin Standard but idk i’ll just stack sats either way

It allows so much hidden evil, and it’s why rejecting a CBDC at all costs is a hill to die on. Imagine the evil that could be done with a globally adopted CBDC.

That's why Panama use US dollar 👀

The first time I heard “stealth tax” I really had no idea what it meant

Thankfully I asked a lot more questions, so now see the threat. What a swindle it is. Stealing, slowly but surely, everyone’s time

💯 It’s about time. Enslave entire populations by making their time worth less and less, requiring them to work more and more. Reminds me of this talk I watched with Ross Stevens a few years ago.

This was a personal orange pill moment. Ross Stevens is a revolutionary

That was a brilliant interview. What a legend

The funny part is having a Stanford keynesian economist still try to convince me that we can't live without Central Banks. Some people's entire careers are gonna get destroyed by #Bitcoin

Loads fine when thread is viewed? (doesn't load in your reply without the full thread visible)

Now that I notice, no image or video are loading. And it's only happening on Amethyst.

Okay, the issue is resolved. Apparently I had hundreds of relays added. As a last resort, I deleted all the relays and kept the default ones. This solved the images and videos not loading issue.

Yeah.. 100s of relays would kill performance

I thought they'd be rather helpful. But I didn't experience any issue on any other clients, like Yakihonne and Primal in Android. Why it still worked for them? What did they do differently?

Not so invisible anymore.

That is so spot on!! The bank cannot be poor, since it can print more money. The first step after printing is spending it, first time spending does not have the tax you spoke of the market does not know the money is printed. The us is the bank of the world, its prints money spends it and the inflation is slowly spread throughout the world.

One can learn a lot by the response of the US when they hear the murmur of a different currency being used instead of dollar for trade.

I heard it from someone else, is it True that Saddam hussain wanted to use euro for oil trade and usa finished that chapter?
