The biggest issues of our time:

• The largest debt bubble & capital misallocation in centuries due to incessant govt manipulation & money printing

• Widespread corruption throughout Washington DC

• A global child sex trafficking ring implicating an unbelievable number of powerful people with a web of connections to US intelligence that has been actively protected by the DOJ for decades.

• Enormous and worsening price inflation across the entire fiat landscape

• An endless stream of undeclared, blank check wars pushed by an industry that makes trillions on mass murder.

• The sickest generation ever, an epidemic of chronic disease that the medical establishment refuses to acknowledge because Pharma is making vomit inducing amounts of money on it.

• A system of total surveillance and control being architected by a global, unelected govt body.

• Total regulatory capture by both the major pharmaceutical corps and the major banking institutions.

• Unrelenting censorship & direct state sponsored speech suppression. Alongside a seeming endless stream of blatant lies & misinformation from the govt and establishment media.

What the politicians and media WANT you to believe are the biggest issues:

• Women can have dicks & men can have periods

• Incorrect pronouns are genocide

• Putin & orange man are responsible for everything

• Aliens

Choose carefully what you focus on.

good morning nostr, freedom tech is hope 🫡

God hates our fiat-based economy.

Just because you can read the label perfectly from outside the bottle, doesn’t mean those still trapped inside it can read it.

When money inflates in supply, employers have the benefit of the status quo, and wage earners have the burden of work to negotiate higher nominal wages to keep up.

The effect is subtle in developing countries, a few percentage points per year, but it's always there behind the scenes. People often have to switch jobs to get proper higher wages, and avoid the anchoring bias from their prior employer. This is all because of dilutive fiat money.

The problem becomes more obvious in developing countries.

For example, the IMF tells Egypt to cut its currency in half relative to the dollar, if it wants some loan relief. It does. Now, every Egyptian wage earner has to try to negotiate a raise to regain some portion of their prior wages in terms of global purchasing power. Virtually all of them will not be able to. And then seven years later they do it again.

But when money deflates in supply, and the unit of account therefore appreciates, wage earners gain the benefit of the status quo in negotiations. If their salaries merely remain the same as averages prices go down, they have gained a raise (which makes sense, with greater experience).

The burden of work shifts to the employer, who has to argue that wages should be cut in line with prices.

I think the magnitude of this effect is poorly understood. If it were more understood, I think a subset of labor-oriented political proponents would appreciate hard money a bit more.

Just today I learned that penny stores existed in the 60s. We don't even have dollar stores anymore!

Agreed. Money is a psycho-technology that forms a base layer of our cognition, like literacy, or mathematics. The more we background ideas, the less we notice how much they influence us. So many people don’t realize how corrupted the money layer of their cognition is.

The less sound the money is, the less oriented toward truth that base layer of cognition is. Culture is a product of the many layers that form our cognition.

#Bitcoin affords long term thinking and multi-generational projects, whereas fiat enables decay.

Stillness is key.
