Why some get the ability to give themselves money by taking from others?
#money #economy #inflation
True! No idea. This game of money and power is terrible.
Anyway do we expect anything sensible from them?
Everything has cycles in my opinion. Look at nature e.g.: the seasons, birth-live-death of things, etc.
Even we can find cycles in how parents name their children, or what is the current fashion.
I think cycles are part of life.
Are profit-oriented things inherently bad?
Or they are just bad because the money is broken?
Why do we have to ruin everything with money?
But then even, why if money enters the picture it ruins everything?

I am gonna move on to my sats journey in a way, that I will hold less fiat, and spend the best way possible.
I have tried, and I can buy my groceries in sats.
Unfortunately I have to convert it into fiat before as a gift card. So I am jumping the problem of conversion.
I mean, that based on a market price, I can get an unfavorable rate of change for my sats.
I think I can say, that this is the price for #thesilentveto to vote with my money for a better world.
But...
nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle posted and had an interview a few days ago, where he says he do not own any fiat. He does it by using a credit card. I guess he can do it, because he earns in fiat, therefore before the interest is due, he can pay in fiat, without the conversion problem.
This is an interesting concept. I will look into it. Anyone doing it already beside Jack?
On the other hand, shouldn't we say, that we shall not even touch fiat and spend from our stack?
Maybe it is a bit philosophical, but if I know a merchant who wants to accept bitcoin, I can support him by spending bitcoin. But if the merchant needs anyway fiat, why should I bother converting back and forth?
Of course if I earn in btc everything would be different.
Cheers ☕️

This logical reasoning is good.
As good as:
Orange is not drinkable ergo it is not food.
The only big difference is that you understand both claims: drinkable and food as they are everday words.
Why can't we share profiles on nostr?

Hey nostr:npub1hm7vs5sqm2cypkkepgtjmp878d43wtnfzmu0tu0j794zflyn4wyqlc4mzq thank you very much for your input. I actually had not heard of this show. I will be checking it out in my research for my episode. So far I've been reading the hell out of books like "The Bitcoin Standard" and "The Fiat Standard" by Saifadean Ammous, I'm also working my way through "The Price of tomorrow" by Jeff booth and "Broken Money" by Lynn Alden. I hope they will set a strong foundation for my conversation.
Currently my show is a laid back take on all things Bitcoin, Nostr and freedom tech, with bits of topics I feel are important.
The show is my way of reinforcing what I'm learning and also a way to dumb things down for normies... Basically I want to provide as much signal as i can without confusing the listeners with to much minutiae.
On the specific topic of money itself I think there are a hundred ways you can take an episode like this. Especially because the topic of money is very broad. Are we looking at it from a Austrian lense or a keynsian one? Do you believe in free capital markets or government market manipulation? Just listening to the podcast Lex Friedman did with saidadean ammous, while saif has many excellent points on how and where keynsians go wrong in their theories, lex counters many of saif's points in order, i think, to provide contect for the other side. I think it's safe to presume most bitcoiners are in the Austrian camp however that's not always the case for the "normies" out there. Somtimes we have to point out the problems before we provide solution, right?
Anyway my hope is that through my laid back conversation with @wookknite we can help some people understand the true purpose of money as a medium of exchange and how through financial manipulation our systems in society break down.
Again I will be looking into that show "what is money" you have a good point to not do the same thing as another but to make it my own and be unique.
No problem. 🫂
Maybe you can also think about different formats, and not only a podcast/discussion.
I really think, that if you try to teach something you have learned, it will really hone that skill, that knowledge. So good idea definitely!
Also explaining these things to non-bitcoiners is hard. Maybe here I would say, that you shall "advertise" spread the word on other social media or places than nostr, because here people are mostly bitcoiners.
I wish you success with it! 🤜🤛
I was listening to music this morning. I really think music can really be art. Music can wake feelings, reiterate on feelings, emphasize feelings, change feelings, etc.
Then it hit me. Why the hell are we ruining everything with money? Why do we have to chip in everything? Why do we have to be control maniacs?
Let things be. Stop trying to control everything and make things worse. Let natural problem solutions. Make "beauty", let "beauty" take control and not money.
Good morning!

There is already a podcast called: What is money? Also many other podcasts. I am not sure if you know them, but might make sense to check these, and make yours unique not reiterating on the same topics. Just my 5 cents. Make it awesome! 🤙

Vote with your time and money for the world you want live in! 🤌
Have you ever wondered, why is that if there was no inflation, people would spend on nothing?
What is #money ? Money is a commodity, that can be exchanged for anything. It is an intermediary to make saving the surpluses for worse times and exchange of goods easier.
If there was no money, you would have to exchange your goods to other goods then other goods until you get what you want. Also if you grow food, it will be hard for you to save up from eggs e.g..
So people do not want money, they want the things they can buy with it. Power, iphone, car, house, free time, etc.
So if the prices of things would go down, they would gladly discard all the stuff they buy now to have their money worth more over time, until infinity?
So people would live 70-90 years buying their basic needs to see their net worth measured in buyable goods to go up, so that they never spend, and enjoy nothing in their life?
I see this claim a bit absurd.
Will they think more about what they spend? - Definitely.
Will it be a problem? - Decide on your own.
If they spend less, it means there will be less consumption, and this results in less production.
Is it a problem to have less production? - In terms of GDP for sure.
But is it really a problem? Is more always better? More GDP better?
Does it make sense e.g.: to produce toasters infinitely? It increases the gdp, but if there are no users for it, does it make sense?
In a world where increasing production is the goal, would you produce short lived things or long lived things (planned term of limitation). Of course in terms of production short lived things are better, because they can sell the same things again and again. But in such a case what happens with the already used products? They become trash.
Does it mean that optimizing on more production aka GDP means generating more trash? - Look at the above example.
Is more trash a problem?
Trash needs to be stored or recycled. Also creating the product that becomes trash uses Earth resources. These Earth resources might not be able to replenish in the speed that we generate trash.
Does it make this logic of producing more sustainable then? - No.
Is it a problem doing things in an unsustainable way? - I leave it onto you, as this became a little long post.
Stay safe, be awesome! See you around.

It is easier and faster to generate false information than to prove the falseness of false information.
Do whatever you would like with this info.
