If central banks are destroyed Marxists will create a new central bank. Because in essence, Marxists are the most extreme form of control freaks.

I think the saddest thing of our time is that antifacism is directly linked to left thought.

I don’t like fascism, but I also don’t like Marxism.

What we need is trust. Trust in life. Our society needs to believe in God again. We have become overly arrogant by denying the existence of god.

I wonder what Marxists would do if everyone started believing in God again. 🙏🏼

Good principles never get out of fashion

Maybe the four year cycle correlated to big amounts of money entering the economy:

Financial Crisis, Greek Euro Crisis, prolonged Zero Interests levels, covid and post covid, russia ukraine war, …

I started fairly recently to buy bitcoin, but will play it long.

Every btc cycle more people understand the value of btc more and more.

All things take time.

Insta is pride and envy at the same time.

But nostr is also partly pride, when it comes to being a btc maxi.

Justice will lose its trust once it is no longer just.

Thank you for the response.

Living with the absolute minimum has given me the view that moving can be quite simple. But that may not translate to anyone, I understand.

Regarding the illiquidity of the house: depending on where the house/flat you might always find a renter. That way moving could be simple, giving you the option to move back. Depending on which city you live in, buying a property could not be that simple, due to the entire process involved and depending on the market. Sometimes owning a property is the only way to stay in a certain neighbourhood, due to ever rising prices.

I guess if you have a stable or predictable cash flow, renting could always be an option. Yet that option is not always available.

But I see the point, that given an arbitrary house and anyone’s arbitrary cash flow, the illiquidity of a property might be a bigger risk than investing in Bitcoin.

Why does it make a difference if you buy a house to live in?

With btc raising again I can only guess, that tariffs might have an effect soon and will lead to inflation.

Wise and wealthy people know this. What can they do? Probably buy bitcoin, gold and maybe real estate.

With real estate you need to be able to afford it. And you will get taxed.

With gold you need to take care of it or just trust it is safe.

With bitcoin you can buy whatever amount you can. If you can only afford a few dollars thats still better than nothing.

Money in essence is a means to store your time and work through time.

Through inflation your work gets diluted and thus taxed.

With bitcoin you can hold onto your time for a later day.

I cannot afford to buy a full bitcoin but the knowledge that the little percentage amount I can afford will retain value is a great feeling.

Thank you all for being so positive!

May you all get wealthy.

But more important may you be healthy, happy and find value in whatever you do 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Primal adds so much value to life!

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. 😂😂😂

The more I think about, the clearer it is that fiat money is not a tool for us to pay. It is a tool to make us do whatever is expected of us.

It really is no more than an illusion, which exists so long all the people continue believing in it.

But really learning and thinking is something only you can do.

Obtaining guidance, is something you have to accept and take on.

I see your point.

I agree in that guidance provided in a formal education can be extremely helpful to learn.

But in the end, if you understand and learn, will depend on the work you put in. At least to a great extent.

What remains after an education depends on how you approached things.

Going to university can have the positive effect of likeminded people working on the same topics.

Checking out damus.

long live nostr

Being able to think, learn and communicate well is something no university can teaching you. You have to do it yourself.

This is genius 🧠

I think “I usually end up with more…” is an observation. And maybe nostr:nprofile1qqs03ekxgdp0rczjfqrrpcn7zqtdec6lcwnpfesyxnl0f239qvege2gpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcpvmk49 is only trying to tell us what has worked for him.

It might or might not work for someone else.

Sometimes we can get stuck in words or semantics, just like we sometimes get lost in being overly greedy and don’t let go of a few coins for something that has been really helpful to us or has made us happy.

Think of a musician on the street, creating atmosphere. You can decide to just consume, and that’s ok, but if you share something that wont hurt you, but it will contribute something to that person.

Same with open source. You can just use it, but if you contribute, you will end up getting so much more by learning how things actually work.

I would normally not respond so much.

But I have been a victim of thinking it is just a strategy in my past. And thought I could share a different view.

Maybe this time invested is a form of contribution.

Whats the source?

On a personal level I would be happy if what you say turns out to be true.

On a long long term (I wrote linguistics twice in purpose) bitcoin might turn out to be the solution to these money printing problems.

But in the mid term, I fear the system might end up breaking, since then hell could break loose.

But I guess these are natural cycles of societies.

I absolutely see your point here.

At the same time you have to consider why one would go to these „extreme“ lengths to just pay for something.

The simplest reason would be, because you otherwise wouldn’t be able to simply pay for something.

One example would be a country where hyperinflation is the norm, where paying in dollars or in another major currency is not possible. Leaving you no other alternative to buy something or obtain payment for any work you sell.

Another example is an organisation operating under a dictatorship, where paying for something is not simply possible, because you are not able to have a bank account.

One additional example would be you trying to stay anonymous. Maybe you want to buy a sex toy in a country where this is illegal or just don’t want your spouse to know about this. (There is a moral question behind this, but there is a moral question behind everything, depending on location, time and context. Lets not get into that.)

Maybe you bought crypto years ago and now want to buy stuff, without having to pay horrendous amounts of tax on any gains.

Yet, I agree with you in that the setup above might be too complex and complicated for most people.

Wishing you a great day ☀️
