Saif uses lots anecdotes to exemplify the failures of fiat. I agree, Saif is writing from an extremely biased perspective. It is bullshit. However, your passion about the subject inspired me to offer my thoughts.

In the past many poor people were farmers. I think this was due to the fact that one could build living capital while they worked to feed themselves. I'm willing to bet that more often than not this food was high quality. Fiat incentives and subsidies have eroded the value of living capital, removing the ability for poor people to live subsistence lifestyles by farming.

I think that by using permaculture more high quality calories can be grown per acre than are currently being produced. Look to the work of Mark Shepard and Peter Allen for more thorough information on how this is possible.

As fiat crumbles and bitcoin rises, subsistence lifestyles of farming producing more calories per acre than ever before will become much more prevalent than is the case today in my opinion. High quality food will be available locally, more people will be growing their own food again too.

My food forest plus rabbit colony cannabis garden uses about 1/10 acre. This system is still establishing and is far from peak production, but it still produces hundreds of pounds of food per year, about 150lbs of it is rabbit meat. Anyone with some sort of lawn can produce a significant supplement to their diet, I am confident in that.
