Bitcoin is inevitable. The only role for a bitcoin evangelist is to alienate authoritarians, socialists, inflationists, and shitcoiners away from it so they have fewer satoshis in the bitcoin future. Stay toxic, my friends! And cry harder, everyone else!

Dear goldbugs, If you sold an ounce of gold and bought bitcoin with it seven years ago, you could today sell the bitcoin and buy a kilogram of gold. Gold is just slower analog bitcoin broken by governments.

Daily reminder that a fiat economist is someone who'll believe absolutely anything causes price rises except an increase in the money supply.

The biggest problem fiat brains have with bitcoin is that they think it needs to win an intellectual argument against their stupid fiat theories to succeed. It doesn't. It just needs to keep going up in value & all your fiat theories are irrelevant noise powerless to stop it.

This is such a powerful meme but it's completely wrong. The Wright brothers & a century of airplane builders were engineers. Scientists first dismissed flight as impossible even after it happened, then made up a bunch of irrelevant equations to pretend to explain how it happened.

If you think you don't trust scientists, you're mistaken. You trust scientists in a million different ways every time you step on a plane, or for that matter turn on your tap or open a can of beans. The fact that you're unaware of this doesn't mean it's not so.

That's adorable, but unless you buy most of the new mining output, the price will continue to drop, and so you've promoted an inevitably dying inflationary shitcoin to millions of easily-impressionable people worldwide.

We can keep using barbaric manual shitcoins that rely on the authority of violence, causing endless conflict & politics. Or we could upgrade to a peaceful software solution that runs on electricity and cannot be corrupted by politics or violence. That's why bitcoin is worth it

To be a bitcoin hater, you have to believe that absolutely nobody on the planet could or should benefit from upgrading their local inflationary currency to a hard currency. It takes an astonishing amount of fiat privilege, callousness, ignorance, & stupidity to believe this.

Epidemiology is a pseudoscience based on the astonishingly idiotic idea that diseases are programmed to spread & kill according to mathematical curves when there is absolutely no reason to believe this. But epidemiologist morons get paid more if they pretend it's true, so they do

Keynesians think you can measure inflation by taking out food, energy, shelter, and used cars, which likely make up more than 80% of more than 80% of people's annual expenditures.

In 1971, after the US suspended gold redemption, sane economists said this would lead to runaway money supply inflation & price rises. By the time the prices rose, fiat economists blamed it on the 1973 Arab oil embargo, completely ignoring the closing of the gold window.

A relative has been on a waiting list for three years to see a back specialist. If he was in a destitute warzone, some doctor would have managed to find a way to see him 3 years ago. Only socialist regimes can deliver this criminal callousness.

@JustinWolfers Any inflation over 0% is the wrong direction you dumb bitch, because it means people are being robbed by government to pay for parasite economists like you to gaslight them into cheering for their robbery.

Getting rich by holding bitcoin is not an unfair reward for doing nothing. It's the market's just reward for divesting your wealth out of central banking & all the death, destruction & decivilization it brings the world.
