β€œOh no my cost of living went down, that’s terrible! I wish someone would print money to dilute my purchasing power and make my life more difficult!” - said no-one ever. I find talking about the madness of fiat to be a far stronger orangepill than talking about Bitcoin. When people join the fiat dots, they want out.
> I find talking about the madness of fiat to be a far stronger orangepill than talking about Bitcoin. When people join the fiat dots, they want out. Have absolutely noticed the same. Instead of tryna overtly orange pill I just drop facts here and there on fiat like "did you know 97% of all the money is created by commercial banks as debt?" and "if we all decided to stop borrowing money, liquidity would dry up fast, the Fed relies on private bankers creating as much debt as possible to inflate the supply of money backed by nothing." My current favourite is just linking to and explaining that the growing divide between rich and poor is engineered by banks and they only have that power because they control where the new money they create goes. Finally I empthasise that for most of human history, humans either traded directly or used a medium of exchange with intrinsic value. The advent of inflationary money backed by nothing and reliant on debt creation is a very recent invention, historically speaking, by Richard Nixon.
