"If you don't drink, you don't get hangovers in the first place."
- Saifedean Ammous
Financial crises aren't random. They're a feature of elastic money.
"Printing money is not going to increase the resources."
- Saifedean Ammous
Inflation doesn't fund wars. It just redistributes who controls the resources that already exist.
"Kill the central bank, you can't make more money. So that increases the value of the money."
- Saifedean Ammous
Iraq 2003: bombing the central bank doubled the dinar overnight. The money printer is the problem.

American HODL built a Claude AI agent, gave it Bitcoin, and let it trade. The machine payable web isn't coming — it's here.
"The most innovative periods of Western civilization operated under gold standards, where the natural order was nominal deflation in price."
We assume inflation is just how things are. But is it?
"Bitcoin is the cleanest monetary trade that is existing on the entire chessboard."
While the government issues debt like a casino marker addict with a national anthem.
"It was literally completely made up."
The 2% inflation target — the number central banks worship — came from a casual TV interview in New Zealand.
Not science. Not math. Just vibes that became policy.
"By 10:26AM, you are still not even working for yourself — that is the state's breakfast."
30.1% tax wedge. 27,090 career hours. Gone. Before inflation even touches your check.
"If you make the attack last longer than a month, there's not a single attack on that page that lasted longer than a month."
BitKey's wrench attack solution is clever — biometric + time-lock turns a smash and grab into a month-long kidnapping. Very few will bother.
"Inflation is simply a way of taking those nominal obligations and inflating them away."
- Sacha Meyers
Debt creates rigidity. Rigidity creates fragility. And when it breaks, they don't fix the root cause — they just inflate it away.
