My 9 month old son looked me straight in the eyes today and said “dad, if the government never plans to pay the $35.4 trillion federal debt and keeps adding more, then the debt means nothing, right? But our entire monetary system is based on debt… so does that mean the fiat monetary system is based on nothing?”
What should I tell him? 
Tell him, son, you're right. 😉
Nothing. I think he will have the answer by tomorrow.
“Yes, son. It’s based on nothing but greed and empty promises.”
Tell him the truth.
“Yes.“
“You could talk this whole time?!”
Just reply with this; "You were born a Bitcoiner."
Tell him he is correct and no matter how much he despises the evil government, despise it more. It is rotten to the core.
Tell him to start buying Bitcoin 🤣
9 month and already talking. That is amazing! 😅😂😂😂
Son, it’s based not just on debt, but also the threat of imprisonment, plutocracy, a dumbed down populace, perceived high exit costs, excessive conformity and bad incentives.
I like the X symbol in the bottom corner. After all it is just another piece of fiat trash.
Tell him what I told mine when he asked the exact same question at 6 months old in 3 different languages fluently, “This is why we stack sats, son.”
Tell that freeloader to get a job!
You 🧔🏻: You know that toy Fiat car we brought you from Italy? It always breaks down when you play with it, but it still manages to drive—just like our monetary system.
You 🧔🏻: It's broken, but it somehow keeps moving forward.
Son 👶🏻: So, does that mean I should never buy another Fiat?
You 🧔🏻: Exactly! You're learning fast, my son.
Even if it hurts, always tell him the truth! He seems to be a smart kid, he will appreciate that! ✌️
Yes, that's right.
The great debt collector
Say nothing. Let him ponder his own thoughts, it’s important. They usually grow out of this world problem phase by 13 months.
Get some organge coins 🧡
Tell him money is time and energy in abstracted form. Which means debt that you didn’t authorize is stealing from your future time and energy. This IS the definition of slavery. Tell him to get out is fiat.
Amazing how articulate your 9 month old is!
Based AF.
Tell him we’ll work on solid food, then pushups and chopping kindling, followed by a training regimen for triathlons. By the the time he’s 8 he’ll be ready to solve this problem. If he’s not maybe a great local church community where he can get some great buddies to do life with. If you don’t have your hands full you’re doing something wrong. 😛
Tell him the government needs a diaper change too.
Inflation is transitory
To stop taking your drugs!
Tell him "holy shit you are some super advanced 9 month old able to both articulate that and comprehend how fucked up that dept issue is" :)
Also I am much much older and still have the same question.
My son was saying this kind of thing at about 4 months, so you may want to get him checked for dyslexia. Still incredible potential though.
Simply answer “Yes.”
He is asking the right questions 😁
"shut up and eat your veggies!" :-)
Simply answer, “Yes”.
…Then wait for the next question from your incredibly gifted 9 month old son! 
Tell him about long term unfunded liabilities.
