Middle class and many of its corresponding things are so overrated.

Always go for the best thing. If you can't afford it, always go for the most economic thing instead of in-between things.

This is my enlightment after spending 30+ days in various level of hotels.

Let's use computer/phone as an example first.

Always buy the best, and usually the most expensive, laptop/phone because they last for 5-8 years.

If you buy a mediocre phone, you end up having to get a new one 2-3 years.

The average cost per day is actually higher for mediocre electronics.

Buying the cheapest phone/laptop, on the other hand, might not be as nice, but can also last 2-3 years. Much better deals!

Same goes to hotels/housing.

The hostel I am staying currently, is 50 USD/night. The quality is as good as 150 - 300 USD/night hotels. The only difference is that I have to share the room with 9 other people (not fully booked in reality). But the common area has everything I need. The kitchen actually has better equipments than most 150 - 300 USD Airbnb / Hotels.

The 100 USD / night place is just much worse. Yes, you have your own room. But it's as depressing as a jail cell. No service, no nothing. This is the classic middle class trap.

If you are in middle class incoming level, don't buy middle class thing. Always buy the most economic things.

Then once you are in the high class, always buy the best thing. It's a much better deal.

As long as you are in the Fiat rat race, don't fall into the middle class trap.

Middle class consumption is the most scam thing in the world. Rich people have private clubs. Poor people have homies in the hood. Middle class people have no community! They just work for rich people and spend to rich people.

There is no dignity for middle class.

Staying at a 50 USD / night place makes me happy because it's a good deal. Staying at 500+ USD / night place makes happy because it's good service and I have this illusion of success. Staying at a 250 USD / night place just hurts my soul.

Oh, you know what's the most scamming thing for middle class? Mortage. Don't get mortage to buy a house. It's just a fiat scan to keep rat race rats forever.

If the amount of land is constant on the earth and the amount of bitcoin is also constant. In the future, the land price will always be constant and decreasing overtime because of deflation of bitcoins.

Land is infinite too 🌌

Houses or land?

Both I guess, but I meant land, speaking hypothetically about Mars, moon, and further settlements.

interplanetary communication is bounded by the speed of light so that even if there are bitcoin full nodes on Mars, the latency will make them a fork of the earth net unless you are willing to accept a transaction rate of 1 per several minutes.

Maybe each planet will have its own main net and we need to figure out offline valua transaction between nets.

(4-24 minutes + block mining delay) * 2

It just occurred to me that lighting and ecash would work perfectly well despite the delay.

But I think there will be a long period where the majority of humans live in earth orbit. (More than the sum of those on earth and those outside of earth’s gravity well). There is just so much volume and sunlight power once you go 3d.

Agree with this view on middle class scam, I’ve noticed this for a while, and lately, in the last 5 years or so, it’s become even more obvious, people that have never thought of this before in the past are becoming aware of these imposed limitations, and they don’t like it, seems like it’s creating awareness.
