Bitcoiners: “Fiat is bad because we abandoned gold backing.”

Also Bitcoiners: “Bitcoin fixes this.”

Me: Bitcoin is backed by what?

You spent years telling everyone that money backed by nothing is the problem.

Then you bought money backed by nothing and called it the solution.

Your argument didn’t disappear. You just stopped applying it to your favorite asset. 😂🧨

money backed by nothing AND with infinite supply in hands of few - this is the fiat problem gold and bitcoin are kinda backed by POW, so you cannot produce it out of thin air without energy exchange

POW and Scarcity...Why are rare baseball cards worth a fortune? Rare Oldtimers? Or a Guitar your favorit Rockstar gifts you?! Probably because.....they are rare or even one of a kind. If you dont get this, you still dont get economics. But dont you worry...there is a solution: https://mises.org/...

The reason why fiat should have still be backed in gold is that gold has limited known supply. Bitcoin has even more limited supply, it doesn't need to be backed on nothing. It's a simple answer
