Guys, normies just don’t get it. It’s astounding.
Literally talked to a guy who was complaining about inflation. Then was talking about the German government discussing funding bills using savings of their citizens.
But he doesn’t understand why bitcoin matters.
I get a lot of people who understand inflation as theft from the government but don't give a flying fuck about bitcoin.
I feel your pain.
This guy said “prices going up aren’t just from money printing but from corporate greed” 😑
Wtf is that? I hear corporate greed all the time... in canada the goverment pressured large corporations for food to lower prices and sent out Grocery Stimulus checks to "help". I guess they're just following where ever the State points and blames?
I think most people don’t understand finance and its history, and have a general impression that you have to have a degree from an Ivy League school to understand it. Like most things, finance isn’t particularly hard, but the terms, applications, and historical context can be a bit of a challenge at first. In order to really get why Bitcoin is important, one needs to understand the history of the fiat system and what is broken about it in order to really understand what #Bitcoin fixes.
I’ve been reading “The Big Print” lately by nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv , and it’s a great read for someone interested in the problem, the history, and the solution, not that I’ve gotten to the solution part yet, but I have a hunch that Bitcoin is the solution that solves a whole bunch of issues.
I suspect that many people feel something is wrong, but can’t pinpoint exactly what the issues are. They probably know that everything is more expensive, but they probably also just assume inflation is normal, but have no idea why it’s not normal. Until they can identify the problems, they can’t embrace the solution.
