You know as a bitcoiner how you can be talking to a normie about money, the economy, the Federal Reserve, inflation, the debt spiral, fractional reserve banking, etc and you realize pretty quickly that the person only has a rudimentary idea about any of these things, but will respond with something like, โ€œBut bitcoin has no real value,โ€ and then quickly realize everything they say is some headline they have taken from msm?

I feel the exact same way when talking about politics to my liberal friends.

one person said to me something like - but historically we live now better than ever, what's wrong with you guys?

Oh yeah I get that kind of response when talking about the national debt or inflation all the time. โ€œWhat are you complaining for? Seems like you did fine for yourself.โ€ Or my favorite, โ€œMy stock portfolio says otherwise.โ€ ๐Ÿ™„

Not everyone can be as based as you Susieโ€ฆ

Why you slumming here? Bored?
