‘zactly

In a hard money world everyone would have "Universal high income" but it would look like universal high standard of living. The United States could look totally different without the last 50 years of financial repression.

The government should give everyone a billion dollars so that 1) we're all billionaires and 2) the USD finally dies and people flock harder into hard money

You can't accuse him of not being a good marketer!

Even if there were true, what happens between now and this ‘utopia’?

Truth

Unrelated, are you coming to the btc conference in Prague Jeff? Your European fans wanna see you too ♥️

when the farmer comes to feed his pigs in the pen they're happy and starving for the slop. its safe to say at this point if you're still on x, you're in the pen.

Just the hopeful notion itself helps keep people in the fiat control structure

Of course most don't have a clue about money. Elon does I think. Problems here: 1. Democracy is only as good as people voting are wise and informed(media lies). So they'll choose that. 2. Prices will rise. UBI will not be enough to live. 3. Now they have UBI AND have to work. Lose any of this 2 an...

Elon is a moron.

the idea sounds great to people who own frontier models, future digital labor.

Unfortunately its in the horizon.

Imagine how much Bitcoin everyone will have ;)
