You have successfully conveyed to the younger generation exactly what my pre-boomer father was explaining to me when I was a kid....

"if you think any of this is luxury, even any of your richest friends, you are a fool. Just imagine what the elites are reaping on our backs and the lives of others"

"false luxury" I remember that day my father pulled the wool away from my eyes about North America and western "civilzation".

I just sat there. With a stoopid look on my face.

He introduced me to Bitcoin when he was almost 80.

Sometimes I wonder if he was Satoshi.
