TD₿: In a World of Competing Realities, It's Time to Choose a Path! - (a Swan original video series) with Dante Cook
TL;DR: Despite what the establishment says, people everywhere feel differently than what the Paul Krugman's of the world are telling us about how good the economy is doing. A CBDC is not the solution!
Hey Bitcoiner’s,
In this episode of Bitcoin daily, Dante asks: Are living in a world of competing realities. Is the economy doing great, or is it a dumpster fire? Is inflation necessary for economic growth, or is it theft? Will AI create abundance, or will it replace all our jobs? Does Gold actually use energy to mine?
Regardless of what you’re being told about the economy… You gotta ask yourself, do things actually feel how they’re being described?
Enjoy!
Tick tock next block,
Cory Klippsten

Quote of the Day
“We don't have to have this big giant massive collapse. It just organically blows up, one-by-one, as people move to a harder, sounder money. And in the process, Bitcoin becomes a black hole on the world's balance sheet.”
