 I rarely handle cash these days. Now that I got some of that stuff, it strikes me how crazy are we to trust fiat money.

There is no gold behind that cash to guarantee its value. There is nothing. Basically that's just fancy paper. That old fifty note looks totally different than the newer one, yet I'm supposed to believe it has the same value.

And then how much that 50 can buy is reduced every year. 

That is just theft.

Separate state and money. https://image.nostr.build/1af27972d4491780d9e07033cee731aeab6af19ac6ddf1a4d929a6c276df5e90.jpg
