This is why so many people thinking leftists are really dumb when it comes to economics
Because these talking heads are.
The bar is so low, and we are so early. nostr:note16f76suqdw4g6evv6ayvhn6dfddfrkvhagfvfneyz7wq8z86y9eusgwgwka

If self described 'leftists' understood economics they wouldn't have that label anymore, it's antithetical in many ways.
Labels are inefficient in general though. The real divide is between Bitcoiners and fiat lovers.
💯
you are officially reformed of their positions if you actually understand or experience economics above the lowest earning rung ( w2 wage earner jn US).
Um, he does realize that Bitcoin holders are global and not just Trump supporters right?
My head hurts now.
So fucking infuriating as a bitcoiner and non-Trump supporter
BUT I remind myself to just zoom out 😌
we’re all mostly economically illiterate (left, right, middle, non-identified, etc.). over time, we should become more united under sound economics.
the thread that weaves society back together.
I think anyone can watch this and still come to the conclusion that maybe well, rather than hoping for a political miracle to “stop bitcoin” from the party that lost to Trump twice, maybe it’s time to buy some bitcoin, then 🤷🏻
Am I stupid or does this make no sense? Lol
who do you find to be a credible voice economically that is a Progressive?
I think a lot of progressive voices, including his, want poor and working class people to stop getting screwed over by the wealthy and corporations in cahoots with the government.
Problem is they’re way off on solutions. And most economists in general are still pretty off on bitcoin.
So not many to choose from on this topic, gotta pick and choose really 🤷🏼♂️
i literally dont know a progressive voice that isnt level 1/100 when it comes to anything related to economics. Was curious if you knew one that you respect / losten to; hard to take Progressives as anything but grifters, imo, when they dont have positions that follow basic, natural economic sense at the least.
Money is leftist Kryptonite
It's a shame, too, because one of Ana's main issues is housing, but she'd never consider how Bitcoin could help with the problem. Wish somebody could teach these people about Bitcoin, but I'm afraid it's a lost cause for most of the left. From what I've seen from all my Bernie mutuals on Twitter, anyway.
