Sorry, but this is a fiat mindset. Birth rates only matter if we want infinite growth, which is what the fiat system requires to pay for all the debt its accumulated. I'm not saying increased birthrates are bad or that the world needs to shrink in population. I'm saying that the increase or decline in population only matters to the elites and the average person shouldn't worry about it as long as they have enough to survive and thrive. If you want to have children and feel you can afford it, by all means have some, just don't buy into the propaganda that it's necessary for our growth as a species. It's not like we are at risk of dying out from not enough babies.

I hear you but doesn’t the cumulative effects add up after awhile? If everyone is choosing not to have kids, where are the workers for the future to provide goods and services for society?
1.3 birth rate isn’t cutting it even right now because of fiat. That’s why I believe on a Bitcoin standard birth rates will rise. We need to at least get birth rates to replacement levels imo
I do agree that under Bitcoin birth rates will probably rise. I just don't think birth rates are something to worry about. We can't just keep expanding the population forever, at some point it will have to contract and we'll just have to learn to deal with the consequences. But there could also be some benefits. It would shift power back towards the average person, as their labor will be more scarce and valuable. Technology would be utilized to fill in the gaps, freeing people up from doing those mundane jobs. If there are fewer young people they will likely be much better educated. It would be a mixed bag.
Makes sense 🤙👍🤙
