How money is supposed to work is that like the person who has the fucking most money is the person who's most valuable to society.

And when the government is printing money and the money is broken, what happens is the people who are the least valuable and the most skilled at trickery and deception and fraud basically end up rising to the top.

I want all the productive people to get Bitcoin, understand Bitcoin and save in Bitcoin.

The heart of civilization, like the core Iron Man heart of civilization is the entrepreneur.

If the entrepreneur is unhealthy, then everything else collapses.

Everything fails.

And if the entrepreneur is healthy and supported and has an environment that they can create and build and contribute in,

then that's what grows out into civilization.
