This is only because rich does not pay taxes, and they our running out of middle class to pay for their lavishness.
Until politicians are not effected by their bad decision, they will make bad decisions.

#idea for opensource projects with donations
Have a progressbar showing different milestones/goals for donations to reach:
1️⃣ covering minimum hosting cost,
2️⃣ covering maintenance cost,
3️⃣ implementing new features,
4️⃣ etc...
Maybe this could help to reach certain donation goals.
Also this could help keeping open source projects longer alive.

Do you think it is enough to have privacy for your stash with coinjoin? Or do you think you would rather need complete anonymity? Why?
Somehow I rather think complete anonymity, because as the economy worsens, and they will see too much people exited already, they will go to you to request you submit your bitcoin as happened with gold. What would you do then?
I guess in such scenario is anyway best to be left that place already? Even anonymously you would have problems there. But I guess if you are anonym, you have more time to leave, because they have to keep the big money from leaving to keep the system going?
Sharing is caring! Let's have a #discussion if possible.

How to live in an inflationary environment?
I am trying to figure this one out for myself.
I know that bitcoin preserves my wealth/value. But this means, the current value I save, I will have later.
But buying bitcoin does not solve the problem that the buying power of salary is also decreasing. Meaning that this year's yearly salary will buy me less stuff, than my previous yearly salary. I have to basically work hard to get as much salary increase at the end of the year to match my buying power to last year's. If possible...
Also I will be able to buy less bitcoin with it.
My current opinion is, prone to change, that I shall buy bitcoin continously, and if I spend later enough my btc, that I bought previously, it will even out my salary inflation decrease, or even make me at a better position.
What do you think? What is your take?

People realize they have to escape.
Lots of money escapes.
Regulations are created to stop money moving away to stop the collapse.
The money that can't be escaped will be taken away to rebuild the system.
Start again.

2024-02-08 09:46:10

I am no expert!
My take:
This is understandable from regulation side, because the current debt base monetary system only works if they can dispatch the cost of the newly borrowed debt onto someone(s). And if there is a loophole where money can disappear from their system, money will go that way. Also bitcoin self-custody can't be controlled by them, therefore they have to track your stack to give you the check for the tax, or they have to trust you to pay it voluntarily. Of course you have to trust them, but vica-versa it does not work. Or they need to know your address to know from whom they have to request money when they say "you have to give your btc to the gov" like what happened with gold.
In my opinion what you can do, is
1.) use peer-to-peer or nokyc exchanges, and never share your information.
2.) Use cash or gift cards not attached to your real identity to buy btc.
3.) Use lightning to receive bought btc. (Not fully private either compared to onchain when you receive, but still more private)
4.) Use coinjoin to your cold storage.

What is money?
Money is a right to a certain exchange value. You work, exchange your time for money, so that later you can exchange your money for your needs. Therefore money is nothing else than the right to exchange your invested work in the future for your needs.
What is inflation?
Inflation is an expiration date on your invested work. Your invested work is getting expired, meaning that you can't exchange it to anything, or you can exchange it for less.

What is stealing? When you appropriate someone's property. Property means here a general belonging, and not a house. So taking ownership of someone's belonging without the right to do so.
What is money printing? When you print money devaluing the already existing money supply. So you take some value of the current money holders and give it to yourself.
Do you see something in common?

When you send YOUR money from one institution to another, and it takes a few days to get credited.
Have you wondered who owns YOUR money at that point "between two instituions"? When you don't see it, can't use it? Is it YOURs if you can't use it?
What happens when you pay with cash? Is there an ambiguity of owning?

What do you think happens when a person have to fight for solving their food/housing insecurities (physiological needs)?
Will he complain about politics, about why are we at where we at? Will he try to find solutions to solve it? (Self-actualization)
And what if when he does that, he would risk his income, housing, etc (safety needs)?
This sounds like an authoritarian way of governing.

Stop being an employee. Not the time matters, but what you can do with it.
Be an entrepreneur. Think in terms of value.
Provide enormous value even if you are working for a company, then your craft will show proof of work.
If your current employment do not reward your hard work, you can easily move, because you concentrated on creating which you can explain or showcase on the next place.
If you want to be self-employed, then also value will matter, and not the time you spent.

Economy Analogy:
Imagine the economy as a room. Let's say the temperature is the inflation.
When the FED prints money, or decreases the interest rates (also effects money printing but it is slower), it is like they are heating the room.
What do you expect will happen when you heat the room? Of course, you will get higher temperature (inflation).
Then if you know you heat the room, would it be true to say that the "temperature is transitory".

There are certain people who do not like responsibility. Definitely!

Also I think hearing a propaganda all they long for a long time can make you believe a lot of things.
Also these things are well-crafted from the other side as well.
As a plus, you can think, that what is the worst that can happen, and you wrongly assume something, and then you face the consequences.
Usually these things work as boiling a frog. You amp up the temperature slowly, so the frog does not notice it.

Ignorance means no responsibility.
No responsibility means some else decides.
Someone else decides means their interests will be prioritized over yours.
Therefore, if someone wants control the best response he can go for is ignorance.
Ignorant people won't change the status quo. They won't raise their voice. The more people can be kept in ignorance, the longer they can be controlled.

Why is there a housing crisis?
> Because the prices of homes are sky high, and people can't afford homes.
Why are prices of houses high?
> Because there are so many buyers.
But then how can't people buy houses if there are so many buyers?
> Because most of the buyers are buying it for investment and not for living in.
Why do people buy houses as an investment?
> Because people think home prices will appreciate over time, and that is the only way to keep the worth of their money.
Why is that the only way?
> Because the currency they could store their value in decreases in value over time, due to inflation.
So you are saying that inflation causes the housing crisis?
