TD₿: How to Separate Money From Politics - (a Swan original video) with Hurley
TL;DR: Don't stand in the Pleb suggestion box line every 4 years; vote with your wallet every week. Buy #Bitcoin instead and participate in the largest bank run the world has ever witnessed!
Hey Bitcoiners,
From Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau blaming food inflation on corporate greed and threatening more taxes, to the Chicago Mayor laying a path towards nationalized grocery stores, we compare what is happening in society today with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the fall of The Roman Empire.
Thankfully for the first time in history, we have a tool that gives us the ability to finally separate money from politics. It's called Bitcoin.
Tick tock next block,
