We are going to be poorer than ever, and you might think, “That doesn't affect me because I save in Bitcoin,” partly because your savings are protected, but your salary in fiat currency is not.

As I have often said, the CPI is the great weapon for impoverishing the population, since the CPI is manipulated downward and salaries are indexed to it, so your salary rises at a slower rate than inflation.

So, in conclusion, your salary will be worth less and less, and you will end up spending your Bitcoin.

Believe me, they have everything very well tied up. It has been clear for years that they would break that fictitious limit of keeping inflation at 2%.

The only option to this is to link salaries to hard assets such as gold or Bitcoin, and this is practically impossible today.

Good point, this is infuriating but not surprising. The 2% limit was arbitrary to start with and now it's gone. Free reins to print more

2%🤣🤣

🥺

inflation will lead to galts gulch. bitcoiners will work for bitcoin. the productive as they already are in the uk etc will leave. hopefully

And their KYC BTC will be taxed like there is no tomorrow.

Peak BTC speculation was at $20k in 2017. Since then it'sva slow opwards slope against the fiat printer.

Add value to the world. Convert your fiat trash into the hardest money ever. 🤝

Post apocalypse money aka Monero?

BTC is waiting for its CPI rig that turns fiat salary receivers into Bitcoin sellers

That's the play. The difference between Monero and Bitcoin is, that Monero is already at the bottom as it gets spent out of necessity.

Therefore in this scenario I feel much safer holding Monero than Bitcoin. What do you think what happens when people start to spend their hodled Bitcoins out of necessity? It'll be a brutal bear market where chaos and poverty awaits almost anybody including the smartest within our circlrs.

The question is not how we shield ourselves from the collapse. We can't. The question is how we rise from the ashes.

My biggest trust for rebuilding from the ashes lies with real cypherpunks that didn't get blinded by fake fiat NGU numbers. This includes Monero.

Does monero outperform the real inflation?

Salaries might be paid in bitcoin down the line. Who would trade their time&energy for fiat once fiat collapses? Humans demanding V4V (lifetime for corn) is inevitable.

That’s what we missing , getting paid by BTC and spend in BTC .

Not enough.

When they realize your salary is tied to real value, they will increase income tax.

That true but that would be a step in the right direction.

After increased unsustainable taxation the next step is fleeing to a place that treats you better

$140K 🤣

Yes, it would take a while to explain, but ultimately there will be few rate cuts until 2026, and in 2026 the debt wall for refinancing will begin, which will drain liquidity and cause the next bear market (2026/2028).
