@JoelHodlman In this house, we drive Toyotas. Change the fluids and filters, and you're good for another 100,000 miles.

My political journey:
1. Grew up Democrat
2. Started to despise Democrats
3. Became a Republican
4. Started to despise Republicans
5. Became Tea Party
6. That ended - I went silent
7. Trump came - I became MAGA
8. Voted Trump 3X - felt at home
9. Now I'm watching MAGA change
10. Wondering next steps

@Airbtconline I bought a hamburger with a Bitcoin. Not sure if it was worth $71k, but it was grass-fed, so there is that.

I've never seen anyone make this Bitcoin argument before:
People see Bitcoin as a replacement for fiat.
But what if you flipped it around? What if fiat was the replacement for Bitcoin?
Imagine Bitcoin is the monetary standard. It’s the money that’s been normal since birth.
Decentralized. No one controls it. Can't be inflated. Runs on math and energy. Same rules for everyone, no exceptions.
Now someone walks in and pitches you a replacement:
"We're going to let a small group of bankers and politicians control the money supply. They can print as much as they want, whenever they want. It'll lose purchasing power every single year. And if you don’t play by their rules, they’ll fine you, penalize you, or throw you in jail.”
Would you opt in?
Would anyone?
The only people that would opt in are the bankers and politicians, the same people who decided that fiat would be money in the first place.
Think about that. You never had a choice. You were never given a vote. It was only up to them. Fiat — by decree.
The fiat system goes back over 100 years — and central banking goes back even further.
That system has entrenched itself into society. It’s created economic schools around its ideas. It’s built entire industries around profiting from it. And it’s made itself the default so no one thinks to question it.
Bitcoin is not the crazy idea. Fiat is. It’s just been running so long that people have normalized it, so when an alternative monetary system pops up, people call it crazy.
When you flip the script and view the world from the Bitcoin lens, the ridiculousness of fiat becomes obvious.
Simply stated...
If Bitcoin had come first, nobody would agree to fiat.
