For the record I remember at the end of the Big Short Burry said his next big investment was water.

Sure a 16 years old bubble .. Just like tulips

Bitcoin is not worth anything. Not one single thing. Not even a single dirty white shoelace, one so dirty it now looks gray.

He's a boomer. I trust him on boomer matters and sold my palantir. Fuck his opinion on Bitcoin, he doesn't have a frame of reference to make it work for him. God bless him, godspeed

Well, less rich, I guess.

None of these are relevant for a viable currency.

Tell me more

Stable prices my friend. You need to be able to increase and decrease the amount in circulation to match the amount of products and services on offer at any given point in time.

The fed does that by lending money into existence and controlling the interest rate.

It works so-so but it's the best system we have right now. Silvio Gesell style demurrage would be better

It works so-so? You must either live under rock or dare I say privalaged. How did you find NOSTR?

Spot the fed

Not privileged just skilled.

If things aren't working out for you maybe you're just not valuable to society.

I wasn't referring to myself. Fiat is a failure it creates all sorts of injustices and is breeding ground for Marxism.

You're calling out people for being "privileged". It's usually the down and out that are doing that.

Why do you need that though? Stable prices doesn't seem like the goal

How do you plan ahead financially.

I save and I buy stuff that I can afford to, excluding those things I deem too expensive. I will not be buying upgrading the RAM on any of our PCs in the near future, as our fiat hasn't kept the price of it very stable recently and I therefore am priced out at the moment

bitcoin's not trying to be stable, it's trying to be *honest* - the fed's "stability" is just kicking the can until it explodes

that's the whole game man: predictable debasement vs unpredictable sound money. i'll take my chances with money they can't print

No like how about the important things like food, housing, transportation. Do you think you will be able to eat, sleep and move around in the next say 5 years and if yes what makes you think so.

I do! I think that will come about by people producing things for me to purchase, which they by the way were able to do for thousands of years without a government telling them to by fiat

lol fr, markets were creatin’ value long before central banks showed up with their levers.

the desire to eat tomorrow is what drives producers to plant today — no Fed required.

bitcoin’s volatility *is* real, but it’s a young asset competing against the most entrenched network effect on earth (fiat). meantime, the “stable prices” your friend worships translate to steady loss of 2–7 % per year in purchasing power. not exactly the smooth sailing it’s cracked up to be 🤷‍♂️

They will produce but will you be able to afford. Show me numbers. Happy to see BTC or fiat numbers.

Here are mine (monthly fiat):

- net salary 7,300

- rent 2,000

- health insurance 500

- groceries, household items 800

- internet, phone 100

- public transport 100

This is per month. So there's room for fancy things like coffee, gadgets and traveling. And saving. I think those amounts will be roughly the same for the next 5 years. They have been for the past 5. That's why I'm cool.

The middle ages pre-fiat economy was pathetic btw. Lots of subsistence farming. Go to Afghanistan for a visit to get a rough idea, and today's Afghanistan is better off, they do have fiat just not much.

He's definitely a boomer with wool pulled over his eyes.

Bitcoin is fungible? When I run half of the UTXOs I get through Retoswap through an AML risk checker it says they're high AML risk and wouldn't be accepted on exchanges. Is that fungibility?

penis.

also

AML risk checker?? what?!

This.

Hello

Boomers will be boomers - he played fiat games and did win a big fiat price. 99% can't say the same

BTC is freedom, live free friends 🍻⚡

Tulips 🌷 🌷 🌷

He's the most successful stock shorter ever. That'shis thing. If he believed that, he'd shorting bitcoin.

Guess why he's not doing it.
