money not being anchored in reality is the problem, and taking that money, unearned, only exacerbates the problem.
no to mention, the force of that money hitting your life and the stress it would cause every relationship in your life.
i get the temptation to think the easy money would help your life, but the stats say otherwise.
if you wouldn’t play russian roulette, then you shouldn’t want anything resembling a lotto
but if you would play russian roulette with not only your life but the lives of your family, then take the 100 btc
when you look at what wages can purchase, it’s like boomers cast an 87% debuff on us today.
when u have to 7x the work, you cannot build a life
yeah, in a lot of ways the over growth of the beurocratic managerial class is a product of fiat.
a free market finds and compensates managers for the true value they contribute in their work
no matter how you slice it, from first principles, we cannot sever the tether of money to labor, cause then the money isn’t anchored in reality
sorry to hear.
at least you know the drill this time.
yeah, agency is makes action meaningful.
no human being can make another do anything, it’s still our choice, even if we someitmes like to pretend otherwise
even the most obstinate will learn about bitcoin through its effects.
when they see a part of the herd break off and become immune from predation, curiousity will eventually intrigue them enough to check it out
yeah, hopefully we can help things move in that direction
great way of articulating the objective.
sad those 80% are the ones that need bitcoin the most
i understand what the “taxation is theft” crowd is getting at, the problem with that rhetoric is that it’s a category error and not true.
debating taxes though is like trying to understand the roots of plant through examining the petals.
even if every tax on the books unjust, that doesn’t mean taxes cannot have a place in a just society.
founders carved out some space with “taxation without representation” but still missed the mark because “representation” doesn’t determine justice.
I am with you, i think taxes will be an old relic based on how tech will change production.
and saying our tax system is absurd understates the problem significantly.
we severed money from value with fiat. that’s the root, that’s prime.
until we scorch and salt fiat, no one will be able to make sense of taxes
my 2 sats
i understand “kind” the same way
“kind” means a lot of things to a lot of people.
To you, is telling someone an uncomfortable, bitter truth “kind”?
Would you work in a Burger King for 10 years for100 bitcoin?
You don’t get the bitcoin until the end.
money has to be tethered to real value, grounded by natural law through work.
the hypothetical equates10 years of menial labor to generational wealth.
that’s not grounded in natural law.
it is the same corrupt principle of winning the lottery, just have to wait 10 years
still a resounding no.
money severed from providing real value destroys people’s lives.
just look at lotto winner stats.
it literally ruins almost everyone lives.
it’s just more fiat mindset.
that you can just pretend without learning to drive, you can win an F1
race.
this question is really asking:
would you take something you don’t deserve?
if your answer is yes, then you are currently speeding towards a life crisis
best of luck picking up the pieces of your life and those you hold dear.
objectively, no one should take 100 btc for 10 years of burger king work

retarded means behind expected development. it’s an invalid logical argument, based on gnostic speculative theology
bitcoin is gold like a tiger is a house cat.
exaxtly, and feminized men suck
it’s possible to skip some steps, depending upon when and how you first heard of bitcoin and your intelligence
if they are retarded, they can’t really move the ball forward
the people living in speculative fantasy land are called gnostics
