☯️ Man, fear and truth. Man fears what he does not know. When fear stems from ignorance, it becomes a tool of power: those who do not understand are easy to frighten. But there is also a 'good' kind of fear: the kind that drives us to understand, to study, to seek the truth. Knowledge does not eliminate fear, it transforms it. It takes us from terror to awareness of the complexity and rules of the world we live in. Inflation, currency, central banks are not invisible monsters: they are human constructs, imperfect tools, but necessary for organising economic coexistence. We cannot eliminate them, but we can understand them, and therefore demand that they work better. True freedom does not lie in having more money, but in knowing what it is. Those who know how money works do not allow themselves to be bought by fear. Those who know how to read a family budget are no longer a number in the statistics. Those who know, choose. That is why awareness is a political, moral and human act. Because it frees us from blind suspicion and restores the dignity of thought. Truth is never absolute, but it is always verifiable. And the first truth to accept is this: fear is cured by free knowledge. Always. Bitcoin or euro, gold or shells: the problem is not the medium of exchange, it is the person who uses it without understanding it. Understanding does not mean accepting, it means seeing further. 🔜 [continue...] 📶 Stay tuned #man #fear #truth #inflation #bitcoin #euro #gold #knowledge

📈 Understanding inflation so you don't have to fear it. Fear arises when we don't understand. In economics, ignorance is not a crime; it's a common human condition. No one has really explained inflation to us, nor have they taught us how to defend ourselves against those who use economics to confuse us. Inflation simply means that, on average, prices are rising. It is neither an "order from above" nor a conspiracy by central banks. Rather, it is a reflection of the prices of goods and services, such as bread, bills, rent, gasoline, clothing, and technology. When these prices rise overall, we say there is inflation. However, no one "decides" this. Rather, it is the result of global factors such as wars, energy, raw materials, and logistics. Central banks do not decide how much bread or gasoline should cost. Their task is to keep the value of money stable over time, which is why they aim for inflation "around 2%." They don't try to "create" inflation; they try to avoid extremes, such as uncontrolled inflation or deflation (falling prices that cool the economy). For example, if your doctor tells you that the ideal body temperature is 37°C, it does not mean that they want you to have a fever. They are simply explaining that 37°C is equilibrium. The same applies to the central bank. It does not "want" inflation; it wants to prevent the economy from becoming ill. So, who prints money? No one, as you might imagine. Today, money is not physical currency; it is credit. When a bank grants you a loan, the money is created at that moment. When you pay it back, the money disappears. The central bank does not decide how much money is in circulation; rather, it decides how much that money costs by adjusting interest rates. When rates rise, the cost of borrowing money increases, which slows down the economy. If rates fall, credit expands and more money is created. It's a delicate balance, not a magic button. Italy ranks last in Europe for financial education. It is not our fault, but rather the fault of an education system that has forgotten to teach us how the things that govern us every day work. 🔜 [Continued...] 📶 Stay tuned. #inflation #truth #bitcoin #central #bank #money #fear #human
