I was just in a 2h conversation with a guy that hasn't studied monetary history, Bitcoin, gold standard, the current financial system, Austrian economics, etc, etc the whole thing.

And it's incredible. People are trying to find all the imaginable excuses within the system to somehow solve the problem. Stuff like we need much more growth, AI growth will solve the debt problem, "we can outgrow the debt away", more consumption, more demand, more manufacturing, more technology, more AI, faster computers, more energy, etc, etc, etc. No Bitcoin, just more growth.

And I'm like, on the opposite, what we need is time. Time to read, learn, think. Cheaper houses, less debt, smaller mortgages, smaller monthly payments. More free time.

People are addicted to the system. And I'm talking about good people, people with good intentions.

A lot of people don't see the alternative. Don't understand what they've lost without hard/sound money.
