Keystroke

It's my home though and I like to own it.
That being said, I would have preferred for the housing market to not be distorted by monetary expansion so I could have just payed the price for it's utility value.

These robots have cameras, microphones, lidar sensors etc., mapping your entire home. Everything can be viewed and controlled remotely via App. All the data is being routed to you over the cloud of the manufacturer.
I have to trust that manufacturer to not abuse this data.

People will be amazed when you tell them how long the battery if your "smartwatch" lasts.
I just got my first smartwatch, used for 20€ a week ago for cycling running and working out. Integrated gps and heart rate monitoring is nice for sports. I don't need my phone to record the tracks.
As of now I don't wear it much outside these activities. Sleep tracking is kinda nice too.

Question for Chatgpt. Answer is why we Bitcoin.
Answer as an expert for austrian economics: How can a fiat monetary system of a democratic society undermine the political influence of the people?
From the perspective of Austrian economics, a fiat monetary system within a democratic society can indeed undermine the political influence of the people in several ways. Austrian economists emphasize the importance of sound money and the potential dangers associated with fiat currencies (currencies not backed by a physical commodity like gold or silver). Here's how such a monetary system can erode political influence:
1. **Inflation and Hidden Taxation:** In a fiat monetary system, central banks can create money out of thin air, leading to inflation when the money supply grows faster than the economy. This inflation acts as a hidden tax on the purchasing power of the currency. As prices rise, individuals' savings and income lose value. This erosion of wealth can disproportionately affect the middle and lower-income groups, reducing their economic well-being and limiting their ability to influence political decisions.
2. **Manipulation of Interest Rates:** Central banks in fiat systems often manipulate interest rates to stimulate or cool down economic activity. This can lead to distortions in investment decisions, asset bubbles, and unequal distribution of wealth. Those with access to cheap credit benefit at the expense of savers and those who lack access to financial markets, exacerbating income inequality.
3. **Government Spending and Deficits:** In a fiat system, governments may find it easier to finance deficit spending by borrowing or printing money. This can lead to excessive government debt, which may eventually result in higher taxes or inflation. The burden of repaying this debt falls on future generations, limiting their political and economic freedom.
4. **Wealth Redistribution:** Inflation and monetary policy can redistribute wealth and resources. Those who receive newly created money first, such as banks and well-connected corporations, benefit at the expense of those who receive it later or not at all. This can create a sense of injustice and inequality, eroding trust in the political system.
5. **Boom-Bust Cycles:** Fiat monetary systems can contribute to business cycles characterized by periods of economic booms and busts. These cycles can disrupt lives, undermine job security, and create economic uncertainty, making it difficult for individuals to plan for the future and engage effectively in the political process.
6. **Centralization of Power:** The ability to control and manipulate the money supply lies primarily with central banks and government authorities in a fiat system. This centralization of power can reduce the effectiveness of checks and balances, as those in control of the money supply can exert significant influence over economic and political outcomes.
In summary, Austrian economists argue that a fiat monetary system can undermine the political influence of the people by eroding their economic stability, redistributing wealth in ways that favor the well-connected, and centralizing economic power in the hands of a few institutions. This can make it difficult for individuals to effectively voice their concerns, participate in the political process, and protect their economic interests within a democratic society.

I think they're all accurate except the banker. Most bankers still have no clue that Bitcoin threatens them. They just think it's useless.

I guess it's a peak fiat Business in a peak fiat world. So it fits. Their prices are still lower than the competition, while the quality of the competition suffered greatly as well. Some products are decent though I'd say (the purely wooden stuff for example).

He never implied that. You just assumed the implication and you still do after he refuted it plainly:
"I’m not seeing how (2) is relevant though. If there’s benefit to theft, it doesn’t take it not theft. If you steal five dollars from everyone and put in a park, it doesn’t mean you didn’t steal five dollars. "

Of course price increases and decreases can happen due to events like these. Bitcoiners have a problem with money printing. Not with temporary supply-demand imbalances.

"They" are the government. And they are not that mysterious. Or would you disagree? Are you trying to make #[5] look like a conspiracy theorist, because your arguments lack common sense?

2023-02-22 14:22:30

- reply

The first assumption is not necessary.
Money printing always dilutes the value of the money that is already in existence. It does not matter what the CPI says. Even if CPI is negative and we experience an overall price decrease, printing money is still diluting the value of the existing money. Preventing an even more pronounced price decrease.
#[5] does not make the second assumption at all. He's just saying that money printing is stealing. Arguing "but what if I sometimes benefit from being stolen from" is not arguing against that fact that you are being stolen from. It just says you like to be stolen from by the government, because you think they make better use of your money than you can yourself. That's a personal choice. And btw. inflation comes on top of the already existing taxes.
Your comparison with the egg producer is nonsensical. Luckily it highlights the importance of bitcoin though.
The egg producer can charge whatever he wants. If he charges more than his competition, I'll buy at the competition and he'll change his mind or goes broke.
There is no competition in FIAT Money though. The government forces you to use their currency. If you don't, you go to jail. That is why bitcoin is important as competition to keep them honest.
Should they, like the egg producer ramp up the money supply by 50%, I have the option to use the competing currency called bitcoin instead of being fucked over by their decision.
