Unpopular opinion: Under a Bitcoin standard this lady would be even poorer
Discussion
Absolutely, but maybe that pain will enforce discipline for her children and grandchildren.
Nahhhh her children or grandchildren won’t need discipline because her blood line would cease to exist.
Idk man poor people have most of the kids globally.
Yes under a fiat standard where they are rewarded to be sperm dumpsters.
Under a Bitcoin standard they will be extremely disincentivized to have Kids if they are unproductive
Tell me you have never been to a poor country lol
Latam and Asia do not have an Uncle Sam giving out welfare checks and food stamps. Many are just dirt poor and still choose to have kids. A hard money standard is not going to disincentivize these ppl from having kids.
Maybe in America it will, but not in most of the planet
Dude I’ve lived in poor countries for over a decade.
I was referring to poor people in America like this lady in the OP.
I agree poor ppl in dirt poor countries just fuck and have kids but that’s not what I’m talking about.
I’m referring to poor people in countries like the US.
Yeah, perhaps we all need to dial back the magical thinking. Boring shit like planning, preparing, sacrificing, foregoing, sharing, and just plain being diligent should probably be staples in life if you want to march toward some facsimile of success (on a boring material level, security level). No judging this particular women, I certainly don't know her journey in life. That being said, for many people who have lived much of their life, tucking a few bucks away in btc at this point probably isn't going to rain lambos down on their future, or change it in any fundamental sense, unless notions like consistency, repetition, focus, and taking responsibility blended into the fabric of their lives. We've all been lied to, we've all been stolen from by rapacious, corrupt assholes for years. Sucks, but that is reality. We need to fight against those demons (and our own personal internals ones) if we are going to rise above, and make a better world.
Maybe monetarily, but a bitcoin standard would indirectly increase many other forms of capital around her. She’d be a lot richer in more ways than she is now
