Life is not supposed to have such easy shortcuts. But this only seems spectacularly easy because we've spent a century using money that's optimized for government criminals to rob you & getting gaslit into believing life just has to get more expensive & saving is futile. You must keep working harder forever AND become a part-time hedge fund manager just to keep the wealth you've already earned from work. If it wasn't for fiat larceny, everything would be always getting cheaper & saving would be an effective way to provide for your future. It isn't that bitcoin is too good to be true, it's just that it kills fiat parasitism and that is the world's biggest problem.
Most people who who dislike bitcoin haven't held it. They see it as a price chart in their brokerage, like QQQ.
They haven't brought the asset into self custody, and then brought it with them as they went around the world.
No wonder they view it as a random correlation.
kind of incredible, but US Fed's emergency lending to US banks was higher over the past week than during the global financial crisis/Lehman moment in 2008
1/ The US banking system is a modern-day caste system. There are those who are banked by Bulge bracket banks. There are those who are banked by regional banks. And there are those who are banked by no bank at all.
Forced birth in a country with:
—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations
This isn't about "life." It's about control.
