Great question: "If money is your time and energy in abstracted form, what does it mean if another man can print the money you use?".

With added context, it means that you've been born into a system in which the vast majority of people have consented to being slaves unknowingly.

Slavery has been so normalized that the vast majority of people are willing to defend their masters by participating in humiliation rituals - paying taxes even though money is printed out of thin air, selecting masters (even though voting has never worked), proudly sacrificing themselves to further their masters' agenda (military).

The most common way to at least partially unslave is to aligning yourself with the State - working for the State, or starting a business that serves the State, or working for a very large company that serves the State to gather resources to exit the system (Bitcoin, land, homesteading, gardening).

When most people understand how the system works, they usually want to fight it or change it, but fighting the system or trying to change the system from within is most often a waste of time and energy.

How would you defeat a system that has the power to create infinite money to incentivize as many slaves as necessary to protect it? You wouldn't.

It is usually much easier to exploit the system and exit the system.

Excellent summary.

Exactly.

And the next step in this direction is to ask for a UBI from the state. That would make that tool available to everybody equally.

Suck em dry

There was never a free market, this is all just a fiat dynasty that absolutely exploded since 2001, and people think that if a minority of people buy Bitcoin that will be solved? It might help solve the individuals problem, if he has some capital sure.

I do think Bitcoin will absorb vast amounts of real estate capital coming from an economic collapse and subsequent real estate demonetization among other sources in an economic unstable scenario.

But the real path for economic stability of the masses is not Bitcoin. Sorry guys. I love Bitcoin, I think it is is phenomenal to measure meritocracy in a world with proper money. But the real path for economic stability for the masses in the short-term is a UBI. QE for all. That's the path for the masses.

Just like the fiat explosion of 2001 and onwards has distorted reality by allocating capital at the top 10%, the only way to correct is doing something similar but for the bottom 90%.

Money isn't your time or energy in abstracted form.

What is it then?

"Exploit and exit"

Sounds a smart move
