Gm & Pv #nostr 🌧️☕️

Morning thoughts—far too many folks on the left/left economic thought can’t comprehend a world or ecosystem built on a deflationary money. There are a few of us unicorns who believe in robust social services and collective support for folks in poverty and historically marginalized communities and also #bitcoin/not inflating and printing away our problems as a bandaid solution to eventual catastrophe.

Working in nonprofits and being responsible for generating revenue for my nonprofit, I’ve seen first hand the world we continue to barrel toward which is more middle class and low income folks in the U.S. relying on government programs that are not sustainable (or even helpful in some ways)!

I’d like to see a world where these folks have access to better savings, are encouraged to save and not be caught in a trap of 35 different government programs with fun name attached to it, and get out of this cycle where there’s poverty, no agency or financial freedom, and no hope.

That said, some government programs are critical and helpful, and some are not. They are not all equal. But too often we are sending the message that, rather than people obtain earnings and save in meaningful ways, the gov’t knows best for you and will limit your ability to do so, trap you in programs that keep you in poverty, or just ignore it all together.

Every human is deserving and worthy of dignity and equal opportunity. #Bitcoin does this and slowly corrects this line of thinking. I’m even interested in exploring UBI pilots with Bitcoin, etc, to give people agency to use resources the way they best see fit and make their own decisions.

Anyway, more to come. There’s an eventual book here somewhere as well once I find the time. And whatever political ideology folks want to assign to me or ridicule me for, I’m proud to say I am laser focused on solutions > ideology.
