Have you ever seen monkeys at the zoo?
Entertaining for a few minutes as you stroll around on a day out with the family, but ultimately irrelevant to your life or plans.. they haven’t and won’t give them a second thought.

In the zoo I live in, the government is the biggest employer in the CBD. About 1/3 of the workforce is directly/indirectly tied to government.
These people have never had to think. They’ve never had to compete. They’ve never had to innovate or build. They’ve never had to “function” - they exist and because they do, they get a chunk of everyone else’s money handed to them.
Those monkeys are neighbours and family members who have no skills that the market actually needs. They’re going to be poor and hungry and desperate so I don’t think ignoring them is going to be a solution if you take hyperbitcoinisation seriously.
From my personal experience, the state sucks in 1/4 of the population either directly or indirectly with respect to employment.
They will have to learn to be self sufficient like the rest of us. Charity begins at home. Educate them if they are willing to listen, otherwise ignore. You can’t teach a man to fish if he doesn’t want to fish.
He’ll want to fish when he’s hungry and so is his family.
Honestly, I think these people have it really good in many cases why would they rock the boat? Once the gov turns over the boat and they are helpless in the water they will be looking for sound ground/money. Not before. Until then I’ll ignore the bulllshit. If they are willing to listen I’ll willingly teach.
