Debated with a normie friend. It's sad how misguided they can be. He's fallen into the same trap set by the media, in which all crypto is a scam, and by association so too #Bitcoin

But in this instance, we were discussing how things cost more today and why. He claimed things cost more today, then for example in the 70s, not because of enshitification through "planned obsolescence" or greed, but due to increased technological innovations and lack of a labor force. I replied with the following:

"You'll want to read up on the debasement of currency and how that has had direct implications associated with more dollars per item as a result.

The book outlined in this link is a great read and this article briefly describes the history of it, at least in the context of the US, but such debasement isn't limited to only one country. We've seen it in almost all (remember the trillion dollar note that Zimbabwe once had?). Things didn't cost more in Zimbabwe, as a rudimentary example, because of advancement in technology, labor, etc. Things cost more in that poor country because of continual lowering of purchasing power.

People in Western countries are simply less observably aware of the negative effects of it. It's mostly been a silent assault, like a thief in the night. Although, the past few years sure has opened the eyes to some, as literally all commodities cost more. Despite the ridiculous claim that the current state of affairs is still a knock-on from the pandemic, but in no way associated to the printing of trillions to continue inflating the debt..."

I am trying to stay hopeful that we can still get through to these people and show them the wool pulled over their eyes.

What’s his reasoning on technological advances increasing prices? Technological innovations are deflationary.

Red and blue are equally bad in their own different ways. I understand why bitcoiners don’t support Biden, but there seems to be a lot of Trumpiness in the bitcoin community that I really don’t get. Just bc Trump is anti Biden doesn’t make him a good choice. If only more people would accept that then maybe we could get out of this endless back and forth between two worthless parties who both print money and fund wars.

In the airport right now lol

👆see it took a few minutes for someone to be toxic just because you mentioned an opinion that something besides Bitcoin has any value for any reason lol. That’s why I very rarely engage with anyone on the internet and only just started doing it again on nostr. Toxicity is toxicity regardless of the topic at hand. Toxic maximalists just need a few strong doses of 🍄, then maybe they’d reassess the value of it. Fully expecting a nasty toxic response to this, trying to grow some internet calluses to toughen myself up a bit tho, so whatevs 😃

Comment wasn’t targeted at you, I was just throwing the thought out there in anticipation of how I thought a lot of people might respond to it in an effort to learn more.

I think maximalism is toxic and I really don’t understand it. I mean is anybody really saying that Monero or any other crypto is a competitor to Bitcoin for a potential global reserve currency? My understanding is that the total supply of Monero can’t even really be audited because that’s the tradeoff it makes in order to be private. Doesn’t seem like a competitor at all to me, just a completely different thing. Speaking as someone who doesn’t own any Monero and has never used it, btw.

Hit me up for local delivery in the Denver/Boulder/Fort Collins area! Bitcoin payments encouraged!
