The Case for "Hard Money" is critical
We must stop the f**k up to get an economy that doesn't eat its future.
We’ve tried easy money. It leads to inflation, inequality, and zombie economies kept alive on monetary morphine.
It’s time to have a real talk, because we’re about to smash our face against the wall for sure.
1⃣ The Two Types of Money
Easy Money: Unlimited printing → inflation, bubbles, hidden taxes on savers.
Hard Money: Limited, predictable supply → stability, accountability, preserved purchasing power.
Yes, like #Bitcoin.
2⃣ The Debt-Money Trap
Today, to “control” easy money, they use:
⬩Higher interest rates (crushing debtors)
⬩Austerity (cutting public services)
⬩Or… more printing (kicking the can)
This isn’t a system. It’s a panic button.
3⃣ How Hard Money Works
⬩Supply grows slowly, predictably (e.g., 2-3% yearly)
⬩Inflation is rare, only if real shortages occur
⬩No more boom-bust cycles fueled by credit binges
4⃣ The Mindshift Required
Hard money demands we:
⬩Accept natural economic rhythms, not artificial growth
⬩Consume consciously, not compulsively
⬩Save responsibly, not speculate recklessly
⬩Build for the long term, not quarterly reports
5⃣ What Unravels Without Hard Money?
⬩Asset Inflation: Housing, stocks become unaffordable
⬩Intergenerational Theft: We mortgage our children’s future
⬩Ecological Ignorance: Growth-at-all-costs destroys the planet
It’s all about SANITY.
It aligns money with reality, not political or banking agendas.
We can have an economy that serves life, not one that consumes it.
Use your brain to think. Peace.
