So you also believe that a crypto system is inherently better than what we have?

Just because you believe money is printed as much as the dark secret super elite group wants it be printed?

Ah yes the sseg.

But yes we are still living in a democracy (a lot on hn at least) and the solution to all of these problems definitely are not getting solved by crypto.

You as an avg joe you are much better off with our current fiat system. The money they collect is used for a lot of things you depend on.

You might be totally ignorant to this but just switching to crypto doesn't solve a single problem.

Who says we all want to switch to crypto? Maybe we want the freedom to divide our personal savings any way we see fit.

Democracy is a nice value, but so are freedom and human rights. I expect to have the right to buy crypto or not.

I don't say that.

I only argue about wrong crypto bro arguments.

Feel free to invest in whatever you want but in these discussions cryptobros argue from crypto is the future and is better than fiat.

Be aware though about the energy consumption of BTC. The GPU shortage and Asics garbage it creates.

I would have loved to buy an rtx GPU over people gambling on the side.
