It seem to come as a surprise to many that “international law” is a social construct doesn’t apply to those with real power. If you have superior strength and power then you can do what you want. I don’t say it’s the right thing to do, but it’s honest to acknowledge that what’s how things work.

Giuliano, I kinda agree with you. “Tax the rich” is a terrible slogan.

Thanks for the take.
Question regarding:
4/ Inflation, at moderate levels, reduces inequality (…bc inflation erodes debt.)
I’m I stupid, or isn’t that true for the wealthy too? The kicker is that wealthy people can borrow at lower rates and hence benefit even more from debt erosion?

I’m enjoying the discussion here. Baby, what do you see as a sound investment for someone who believes that fiat money is destined to lose value over time—forever?

You think you are late, but in a couple of years people will call you “lucky” for being early.

You can buy dollars with bitcoin.
Why would you ever buy gold with gold, or dollars with dollars, or bitcoin with bitcoin?

…one way governments like to combat recessions is by monetary stimulus(aka, print new money).
A recession would probably hurt Bitcoin liquidity in the short term, but Bitcoin would rally when they decide turn on the money printer. They always print!
Finite vs. Infinite money.

I think of bitcoin as digital capital/Store of Value more than as a currency (it can act as both)
A recession would probably suck for price appreciation.
I use Bitcoin as a hedge against monetary debasement. When central banks print more money, bitcoin goes up.
Works like a charm…

I don’t fully get the point. One of the reasons Bitcoin is considered valuable (aside from other traits of good money like scarcity, verifiability, durability, divisibility, portability) is that it’s easy to find demand anywhere in the world. A global ultra liquid market. BTC is useful everywhere.

This is not true. Nodes would reject it.
