In 1965 the yearly minimum wage = 71 ounces of gold. The wage was $1.25 per hour and gold was $35 per ounce.
On a gold standard, as we had back then, a minimum wage TODAY should be about $241,000 ! Today, it's $11.18 per hour, or $23,254 per year ,and gold is $3400.
Back in 1965 , a common worker had the living standard of someone Making $241,400 today. They could raise a family, buy a simple home, and have a stay at home parent.
When they took us off the gold standard and started printing money for foreign wars, they put America on the path to destruction. They knowingly violated the USA CONSTITUTION, as well as their oaths of office. They probably, indirectly, killed millions of people with that one stupid move.
Where did the actual money go ? Just look at the difference between the rich and the poor, look at the amount of wealth we simple blew up and burned up in the form of missles and bombs, look at the vast armies of unproductive government beaurcrats, and look at the huge amount of theft.
Bitcoin is not just some weird little experiment.
It's the CURE TO the shitshow I described above. I highly suggest getting to know about it. Ignore it at your own risk.
