You can just CARE ABOUT MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
Discussion
I realized recently that the consumer side is just as important as the producer side. I'm actually casting a vote in the market every time I buy something. So if I keep buying shit instead of quality (if I don't have to - it would be unfair to say everyone can or should by the best things no matter what), I'm voting for shit. I can't go on to complain when I had a choice and made the wrong one.
Vote with your money and the strongest vote is voting with bitcoin
Drawn this conclusion as well. The downside is having to really decipher between product quality against high priced low-quality which you get in NZ as manufacturing is low and most stuff is imported.
Yeah, that's why I added the caveat. Things are so monumentally fucked right now that it's unreasonable to be the perfect consumer. It's a massive socioeconomic problem. All we can do is our best.
Or producer for that matter. I think Ben has discussed how he still has to pay certain supply bills in fiat. But he does the best he can for a better world. Unfortunately we are too early to see a perfect market, but it's better than nothing and the next generations will see it.
its a weird feeling as you realise that. your old fiat behaviour was based on always earning and saving from a deflationary income. You seek cheap, compare prices, collect reward points, stamps, tokens and stickers. It drives nearly every decision from what you eat to what job you choose, where you choose to travel etc. Quality will return and it will start with bitcoiners which is pretty cool as well.
