1) Prices in a free market fall to their marginal cost of production.
2) The marginal cost of production keeps falling towards zero due to technological advancements

Which means that if “your” prices are going up over time….1) it is not a free market and 2) you’re measuring from an inferior currency to Bitcoin.

It’s frustrating that all my attempts to orange pilling is failing. They complaining about real estate price all the time and wish somebody told them to buy lot of real estate earlier. I told them buy bitcoin otherwise they will complain in few years.

What do you mean by "free market"? I always hear this term and can only think of a few countries where the markets are "free"... and they're usually dysfunctional.

Luke Broyles provided some nice signal on this as well yesterday on Preston's podcast. Need to get him over to Nostr.

You ask most economists whether a free market, or capitalism, is good. They’ll answer, “Yes it’s good”. But still they don’t agree that money should be free as well. How can there ever be a free market if the money market is rigged?

I dislike sounding like a Bitcoin maxi to my friends. They will figure it out in due time

But cost is relative to everything else. There is an opportunity cost with the production of anything.

In a world which won't be able to fund UBI forever and for everyone with abundant money , the best we can do instead as a society is bring prices towards zero, to share the fruits of our advancements in technology. Then the amount of work needed to support yourself and your family decreases over tim...

I agree with you 95% of the way, I don’t think markets are 100% efficient though. So there may be some exceptions

OH, wait.... I thought falling prices are bad....., just as C.Lagarde keeps telling us with horror in her voice....ECB have to "save us" from such a plague...🤡
