TD₿: Does Bitcoin Have Intrinsic Value? - (a Swan original video series) with Dante Cook
TL;DR: Bitcoin is Truth. Bitcoin is Freedom. Bitcoin is Real Value. Inflation is Theft. Taxes are Theft.
Hey Bitcoiners,
Today’s episode explores Truth, Freedom, and Value in a world desperate for all three.
With the Fed losing $114 billion in 2023 and tax receipts being almost $7 trillion less than government expenditures, U.S. Fiscal and monetary authorities are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Taxes and inflation are both sly forms of theft. To avoid calling them what they really are, leaders have resorted to distorting the truth rather than making hard decisions and explaining the consequences.
Enjoy!
Tick tock next block,
Cory Klippsten
