Old enough to remember when millions of people lost their houses and jobs
And banks and insurance companies got over a trillion in bailouts and paid themselves billions in bonuses
And it pissed Satoshi off so hard he invented Bitcoin 🫡
Discussion
Satoshi took the political phrase “Never let a crisis go to waste” very seriously and gave us the mechanism to fight back.
never forget, eyes on the prize, this isn't a fucking game
salute! (I'm a dumbass and don't know how to use emojis on a desktop)
Liking the new pfp 🤙
Now I really feel old. Where is the history of major FIAT failures documented? It will be just a submenu item on the future history of #Bitcoin site somewhere like:
home->history of money->major failures->barter->seashells ->yap rai stones->precious metals->fiat
And after fiat came the age of Bitcoin, all that was known for generations.
And before that, bank runs in the Great Depression, my grandma brought a deposit to her bank, holding my dad, then a toddler, on her hip—
The teller looked at my dad, pushed the dollars back to my grandma, and said “ Take your money and go home”.
The bank closed the next day. No one got their money out.
