I was just sitting in front of the TV with family. It occurs to me the reason why rich people are envied is because ads like the who wants to be a millionaire ones that make it look like being a millionaire means champagne on a private cruise forever after.
Of course, if we all intuitively (and emotionally) think life is luxury and fun all day long for a millionaire, then we envy them. But millionaires that are hard workers that have salaries and bills to pay and their hard work that lead to their sustainable millions (sustainable being the key word) is not to be envied but to be inspired by.
We are taught to mould a box called a career and contort ourselves to fit inside it. We should be taught to explore ourselves our relationships and pursue challenges with others to capture unique opportunities. It's technically harder, but we are robbed of our potential when we follow the narrative.

This was an interesting interview, the guest was very clear and spoke about the problems very well.
I've noticed that words like "capitalism" are just poorly defined or maybe just constantly redefined to mean "what we have today" by people who are proponents of more communist leaning ideas, but since there was no detail about the solution, I can't say for sure I understand her position other than the fact that she said she was influenced by Marxism.
I know a lot of people are very anti communist and anti socialist, but I really don't have the knowledge to understand why they can so quickly be shot down and dismissed. Often people arguing for these ideas will have a strong definition of capitalism that capitalists will disagree with and capitalists will have a strong definition of socialism and communism which the other side will also disagree with, putting caveats to the historical implementations.
In both cases, we have probably never seen the "proper" implementation of either idea. I think when people hear communism, they shut down and stop listening when the issue may not be the ideas themselves, but the word itself. i.e. the communist may not actually be describing what you believe to be communism.
I'm curious as to peoples thoughts on this interview. Is it a case of "good understanding of the problem and then a whiplash to a preconceived solution" or did she actually say very little that was controversial throughout this interview?
People should know, every crypto, every shitcoin, it's all Bitcoin.
The important thing to understand is that the longest chain with the greatest proof of work is the honest chain.
Thats it. That's the whole thing.
@Joe Nakamoto just saw your last two videos. Gotta say, they were both quality. Keep it up man. I hope to see you soon. In a bit. π€
Aaaaahaha. I proved that it worked offline by removing permissions for network access...
Then I was wondering why nothing was loading on the internet. Apparently you can't restrict network permissions on a web app, just the browser itself. π

I updated it with better sources, and also added gold.
It's super interesting seeing how similarly volatile gold looks to bitcoin as the currencies sink.
Also, that lull in time where gold just follows fiat counterintuitively could be interpreted as a warning about how even the natural and traditional hedge against inflation can be held back long enough to wear you out or scare you out and it can take much longer than 4 years (took ~17 years to become volatile again)
