 Would you would rather be rich under a fiat standard or average wealth under a bitcoin standard?

 Of course rich under a fiat standard.
It’s such a stupidly framed question anyway. 

Average IS WHAT LEADS TO FIAT.
We didn’t just end up on a fiat standard by accident. It’s because we gave up greatness.

To be rich is to be noble.
That’s the goal.
Bitcoin is a MEANS to a richer society, with richer people. NOT average.
Else I wouldn’t give 2 shits about bitcoin.

 Striving to be fiat rich is pretty damn average if you ask me. 

I’m here to for the separation of money and state and would happily take the average amount of wealth under a bitcoin standard to see a better future for my kids.

 Being rich is great if you want to achieve things... But every great man needs average followers. I think we can and should have both!

 Lake Wobegone. Where everyone is above average.
