Britain is broken, in various ways. Could adopting bitcoin help it bounce back?
Renegade Investor thinks so.
Central banks printing money causes government debt and artificially low interest rates. Their monetary policy is political and done for bankers not for people.
Bitcoin monitory policy is fixed.
Lockdown during pandemic was funded by money printing, and caused a big inflation pump and government debt increase. It caused the current cost of living crisis.
Lockdown could have been impossible under a bitcoin standard.
In pounds the cost of living has gone up lots over the last decade. But in bitcoin it's gone down massively.
He thinks wealth redistribution is taking money from productive people and giving it to those who aren't increasing the country wealth. Here I disagree entirely. Wealth is reality being taken from the workers and given to the capital owners. We are redistributing wealth towards the rich currently. Taking the wealth created by workers to give to idle owners.
I also wonder, would limited government power be good? Did the lockdown save lives? Would it do do under a worse pandemic? Limited government power may be double edged.
Not sure why he thinks immigration is funded by government, rather than immigrants increasing the country wealth. Seems to think bitcoin could reduce immigration, which I find unbelievable and undesirable.
This talk I disagree with quite a lot.

Prof. Jeffrey sachs: “Britain is a bully. A lot of the Europeans complaining are bullies. They've all been complicit in the Genocide in Gaza.”
“They stand mute when the U.S. and Israel bomb Iran... What has energized the Europeans is that it turned on them...”

Braucht jemand im Raum Bielefeld eine Corona-Impfung? Ich musste eine Weile rumfragen, bis ich diese Apotheke fand:
Ahorn-Apotheke
Jöllenbecker Str. 416
33739 Bielefeld - Theesen
Tel. 0521 882288
Eine Überweisung von der Hausärztin wird nicht benötigt. Ich wurde auch nicht nach Alter oder Beruf gegragt, als ich telefonisch einen Termin ausmachte. Ob privat oder gesetzlich versichert, wird gefragt – geht aber beides.
Andere Apotheken bieten …

Britain’s tax system combines the worst of the US and Scandinavia - https://on.ft.com/48abwRo via @FT
Sharing also for the sake of warning my Scandinavian compatriots some of whom seem to be learning the wrong things from the UK.

Wow. I've dealt with various toxic personalities in software development, but a good portion of the time those toxic personalities were at least extremely knowledgeable in their (often, very limited) domain.
AI, however, seems to be enabling toxic personalities *who are completely clueless*. Impressive!
