      what about the million mined pre pop culture . ? and what about the blockchain itself ? this whole thing is starting to feel like a one ring plot. or should I say one block chain. and the way institutions are buying up all the supply. would mean any and all miners today are big banks again. granted they have no idea whats going to happen in the future. but if those people think they are going to control the monetary supply. they are wrong. Think stucksnet for money. everyone gets a fair share or no one gets any. this on a global scale. or was i tricked or did I trick myself ?

      Our 4th civilizational turning ends in ~10 years. The monetary collapse will mark it's end point. Out of that we will rebuild a reimagined civilization.
      The tribe that ran the central banks will be rightly blamed for it, which again is just history repeating. They will attempt to do it again if the world does not codify hard money for eternity.

Viva Ludwig von Mises! They deliberately suppressed his valuable economic and humanitarian insights! See Keynes and the Reds by Ralph Raico. Down with Ingsoc Fiat Empire!!!

    Glad that Robert brought up the Austrian School. Finally getting some love on bigger platforms. More people need to learn the application of Praxeology.
    I would, however, push back a bit on Robert's definition of money as I believe his leaves a bit to be desired.

    Great conversation!!! I would like to point out one thing. I think we are confusing love and kindness. You can slap someone in the face to wake them out of a panic and that can still be love. It's not necessarily kind. You can have harsh words for someone because you want to see them succeed. Again, that's love but not kind. Sometimes people need a harsh love that kindness just cannot deliver. We should not strive to be kind all the time. We should all love one another, though. I think the world would be a better place if we can come to terms with that notion.
