Few seem to have any concept of how much easier life would be if money got more valuable over time rather than less.

ESPECIALLY during a period of massive technological deflation. Imagine if everything you needed for your living standard was 10% cheaper/better quality each year? The literal opposite of the current system.

Most people are too scared of glory.

With technology, things should get inherently less expensive. We have seen the opposite of that in today’s society.

But Guy, don’t you know that if things got cheaper all the time, nobody would buy anything ever and we would go into a permanent recession?!?! 🤣🤣🤣

The quality of products getting worse is bad for everyone including bitcoiners. When I was a kid, our fridge lasted for 20 years. It outlasted two other newer fridges we bought. My parent’s bedroom furniture lasted over 15 years and they only got rid of it because they wanted to change things up. ...

Imagine working 5% less per year while your standard of living goes up 5% per year.

Agree 💯. The counterargument always seems to be that people’s consumption will plummet. But so what? Is that a bad thing? Isn’t that exactly what the eco-virtue signalers say they want? All their posturing about lowering consumption to save the planet is BS. They *need* inflationary fiat thef...

The way God intended.

Very true. When I say that we should have money that is more valuable over time, 9 times out of 10 the rely to me is that it would be terrible for the economy. It would stop because nobody would buy anything. So weird that they all don't think one step further. They think that all these people wou...

Better for individuals, better for corporations, better for Global South, better for interpersonal / societal relationships, better for climate and for the Earth. Only problem: worse for cantillioners, central planners, and a relevant portion of public servants and employees of publicly-funded age...

Because it’s not a common sense in an upside down world.

I think that all but few have the cognitive flexibility to realize that there must have been something in that Kool-Aid they drank…. I see no other reason for this concept being out of their grasp. And people in my circle have doctoral level degrees, self made millionaires, fortune 100 C Suite, ...

Yes, mindboggling for fiat minds. Crazy!

It's so obvious and once you see it, you can't unsee it. The rat race is a treadmill. Just get off and walk towards bitcoin.

Losing a job because of technological advancement would be way less of a deal if you'd been able to save in a hard money your whole life.

Econ guy Konrad · 39w

Imagine how much less of a burden the welfare state would "need" to be (to meet people's expectations). Every year the narrative is always about increasing transfers to help cost of living, or increasing numbers of people facing material hardship. Same goes for "government services" financed throu...

People are programmed to parrot the Keynesian lie that deflation is bad. The craziest part to me is people seem more interested in being right and getting poorer, than being wrong and getting richer.

We would be more responsible

Really important to think about these issues!!

It is difficult to imagine because we are generations that weren't born during a gold-standard driven economy.

The system is rotten precisely because it goes the opposite of what it should go 🤷‍♂️ instead of improving the quality of life of citizens getting worse every year. And the fault is the god money who is rotten and corrupt. And they print it inflating it more and more

HoneyBadger · 39w

But 2% inflation provides monetary stimulus🤡 How they managed to make people believe inflation is good is something I will never understand

PeacePenny · 39w

looking forward to the great taking series. the first part was 🔥🔥🔥

I'd prefer a time when it costs only 10% of today's living costs to cover all of the necessities of life in modern society. The other 90% could be put anymore non-inflationary savings or investments, with a portion of that used to spend apart from the necessities of life.

I think people do experience this with technology. Everyone has a smartphone now. Few experience with everything.
