Just now learning how a 401k REALLY works… and honestly, it feels like such a rigged game. Lock up your money for decades, trust that inflation and fees won’t eat it away, and hope the system doesn’t collapse before you retire. The more I dig, the more I see how broken it is

I’m feeling drawn more and more to Bitcoin. No middlemen, no waiting decades, no fees, no games. Just real ownership. I’m intrigued ⚡️💰

Pushing people into the stock market is one of the more sinsister and insidious aspects of the fiat system. Along with this are the limits around how you can allocate YOUR money within the 401k. They are terrible

Once that fully sinks in... Almost everything else that the government (any government) has done to 'help' its citizens, or for the 'safety' of its citizens, is equally flawed and has equally ugly side effects. ... and I said 'Almost' to be polite...

I drained 2 small IRAs that used to be 401ks into BTC via a Daily DCA. The penalty and taxes sucked but today 3 years later it’s a rounding error on the gains

Now comes the battle to reject the programming and withdraw the funds, take the penalty and DCA those Cuck bucks into Bitcoin. God speed my friend 🫡

Entire lives wasted slaving away for this system

It's even worse than that. By saving inside the system, you are feeding the machine that ends up enslaving you. Picture a small shop owner with a 401k. Instead of reinvesting profits to grow the family business and pass it to his children, he diverts a portion into a retirement fund. That fund buys...
