I spent 7+ years studying money full time to understand how the financial system was designed to keep you poor forever.
Here are the top 10 brutal truths no one will ever teach you (THREAD):
1. Every dollar is your life compressed into a token.

When inflation destroys it, those are real hours of your life you can never recover.
It is a legally enforced transfer of wealth from those who earned it to those who printed it.

2. Food, healthcare, pharma and politics look like separate problems (they're not)
They all operate inside the same broken incentive structure built on top of dishonest money.
For every thousand hacks at the leaves, there is but one strike at the root. Corrupt money is the root problem, but its symptoms are countless.

3. Hard money is defined simply as money that is hard to produce.
For instance, gold is hard money because it is costly/hard to produce, which prevents people from counterfeiting it.
Paper money is the reverse.

4. Time preference matters.
This is the rate at which you value the future relative to the present.
The lower your time preference, the more oriented you are to the long-term consequences of your actions.

5. Central banks redistribute wealth.
Every dollar printed out of thin air is a claim on real goods produced by real people.
The Fed quietly confiscates your wealth through inflation and hands it to those closest to the printer.

6. "Prices communicate what people prefer."
Prices tell us what things are worth, what is scarce and where opportunity lies.
Manipulate prices and you manipulate reality – every major recession in modern history was caused by the same institutions that claimed to prevent it.

7. Bad money drives good money out of circulation.
Give people hard and soft money at the same time and they will always spend the soft and save the hard.
This is Gresham's Law & it has held without exception for thousands of years.
Bitcoin is the hardest money ever discovered (the math enforcing its scarcity cannot be negotiated with)

8. Inflation is theft with better PR.
Wealth doesn’t materialize from nowhere when the state expands the money supply – it gets quietly transferred from the people who earned it to the people who print it first.
The central bank is the anti-Robin-Hood: it steals from the poor and gives to the rich.

9. Dishonest money creates dishonest people.
A civilization running on dishonest money gradually loses its capacity for long-term thinking, personal responsibility, and individual sovereignty (as people become more dependent on handouts from the state, i.e., welfare, subsidies, etc.).
Central banking is self-deception at civilizational scale (& I see its effects on human character everywhere I look)

10. There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin (and no one can change that)
Before Bitcoin, only time and energy were absolutely scarce, because they are governed by the laws of thermodynamics, not the state.
It is a physical fact that separates Bitcoin from every monetary technology that came before it.
