I agree with most of this.
But what are you gonna do about it?
My answer was: Make as much money as possible, have as many kids as possible, bring them up right and give them an idea of what's going on and the ability to succeed.
It's not about land. It's about blood. And you have most control over that by doing what I did imo.
I don't think the fact that gold is worth 1% of it's current value for non monetary uses makes any difference to it's suitability as money.
If you want money, to save, you want something that has attributes that will not let the value escape somehow. Bitcoin is better than gold because they can mine more gold and gold is hard to transport or use for commerce. This is why they were able to take us off a gold standard - because paper denominations are easier to deal with and most people resorted to letting the banks holds it for them.
That's not how it works though.
The current fiat system works on layers to scale it so people can buy a gum ball or whatever tiny purchases. We don't pay for coffee with US treasuries. We use Venmo and all those for little things like that.
This is what the whole Zaps thing is, we can zap a million times a second because of the lightning network and custodial wallets.
Bitcoin itself can handle 9 transactions per second, which is plenty for custodians to settle amongst themselves and other high value transactions. Think of the Bitcoin network itself as the treasuries.
Ok cool. So in your current country, do you wanna keep paying the taxes or not? If you say you want to keep paying I'm just gonna assume you're poor AF.
Listen, you're not speaking to some born rich or middle class dork here. I've gone down the rabbit hole on everything you have. We've gotta ask how we're gonna deal with reality as it is though, not some imagined utopia we have no way to being about.
Me when I notice that my Nostr timeline is using Zaps but not incessantly talking about them... 
What?! Where the hell do you live?! Lol
I ask because I might move there. Sounds sweet.
It's a scam and you're a willing slave by the look of it. As someone with the handle "Hitler" I can't imagine how you can be so patriotic about any western country.
Difficult to know for sure because birth rates are going down everywhere for decades. What's for sure is the single mums are doing a terrible job bringing them up and without welfare they'd pick better men who can provide.
I'm most concerned about where the money came from. A middle class person, without having 50% taken in tax and given away to randoms, could have afforded for his wife not to work and have more children.
Charity will exist to deal with those situations. But if you say theft is OK then you're just waiting to get raped and your cash to be given to people you don't like. Remember that in the best times the west ever had income tax didn't exist.
This was Hal Finney (RIP) 14 years ago, a week after bitcoin started, when it was worth nothing. Still the same general argument.
We think bitcoin is the best store of value because you can create or dig up more of everything else. Because it's got the best technical properties the value of everything else used as a store of value should collapse into bitcoin.
Price can only go up over the long term, even if you don't believe it eats everything else.
You don't think moral hazard is real? Consequences improve morality. Financial consequences create strong families and values.
All goes to the club at the top in some way or another.
Fuck you. Too many white retards too. Welfare is bad eugenics. If you like white people, you want the best to procreate and the retards to have as few kids as possible.
Some of us are retards, for sure.
Seriously though, here's a logical argument for you:
What % chance of success do you think bitcoin has? Whatever that chance is, you should hold that % of your net worth in it.
We think this is going to $10m per coin in our lifetimes. That means 1% would become multiples of your entire current net worth.
If you think 0% then that's fine too, but that's an overly confident position imo.
When I first met my wife she was a leftie in the pro social programmes sense.
Over the years, and having seen how much is taken from us via taxes and inflation, she has shifted pretty hard in my direction.
One of our business bank accounts has over the insured amount in it, I'm kinda hoping it goes bust just to push her over the edge into total psychopath territory. 😂
I feel embarrassed for ever reading a book recommended by Warren Muppet
It was an attempt to distinguish between how people actually value something and how you think it should be valued, now or in the future, based on the information you're taking into account in your own evaluation.
People like Schiff extend this to mean "ability to be used for something else" which is obviously bs. If something has a monetary premium who cares that it has a value of 1% of that for some other use.
Stupid word that we don't need, imo.
