I posted this reply on another note but I think it's valid here too. And I would add you have helped me understand this as well Dr. Jeff so thank you.

   What nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe and nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z helped me understand is that not only have the centralized authorities been stealing our economic energy with inflation, but that inflation has also allowed them to steal any and all gains that were supposed to come to society through deflation (lower prices) brought about by technological advancements. 

   The amount of theft is truly mind blowing 🤯 to the point where one would be surprised not by the fact the government is so big today, but rather how they have yet to take over everything with the amount of energy we willing provide them by continuing to stay in their system. 

   Bitcoin is hope because as Preston says bitcoin will flow to the hands of the net producers, a complete paridgim shift from today's broken system. You can try to hold onto the old system or you can move to the new one today.
