Something I’ve been thinking on for a while :

I think we all agree inflation is theft.

Dollars are created by banks issuing mortgages, personal loans, business loans, credit cards, etc.

Doesn’t that make all of us guilty of increasing the money supply and debasing savers worldwide?

I’m not pointing any fingers here. Mainly at myself. If I hold a mortgage does that make me guilty of being a thief? I’m at least complicit. Especially since as a bitcoiner I am aware of this.

Any thoughts? nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l nostr:npub103m96sra82w4agghew9cdxtzs4s8sl7qsjsvw6h653yml0gjrkzqefd3h5 @

What you’re experiencing is called survivors guilt. Which is a valid and normal thing to feel. It doesn’t mean you have to feel guilty for protecting yourself though.

My advice? Don’t waste time wondering if you’re complicit (you’re not). Put your own oxygen mask on and then assist others. That’s how you alleviate the dissonance caused by knowing ahead of others.

Your responsibility isn’t to question your part in the sinking of the ship, but to Shepard people onto the lifeboats.

Fair point. I like the move forward mentality.

The tricky part is how to articulate to people that bitcoin is indeed THE lifeboat.

I’ve been trying to convince people I love that their lives could be so much better. I want to see them flourish but years go by and they still aren’t getting it. I want to give up and let them ask questions when they’re ready but at the same time I love them too much to watch them get debased.

Thanks for the input, brother. Much appreciated.
