I love seeing bitcoin and gold soar, each rallying while the other is correcting, consistently hammering home the fact that the coercive money the looters, bureaucrats, and child killers are forcing upon decent people cannot last and will go down in history as another failed attempt at extracting wealth from the world without giving anything in return, like Persian god kings, Lacedaemonian militarism, absolutist monarchy, and Soviet communism.

Giddy up, jingle-fuck.

The looters will jump at any cover story to secure more power and wealth for themselves but at least this one seems to be mostly on hold for a moment.

Some folks are born silber spoon in hand. Others are born with an complete set of platinum cutlery sticking out of every orifice.

Maybe don't beat your swords into plowshares but do mint coins from your crowns. For he who trades by coin instead of power has much less need of a sword than he who lives by it. So coins for growing your wealth and swords for defending your liberty, no crowns required.

@Peter McCormack Keynesianism is great in many ways? Thank you for sharing "Lord Keynes" with us? Is that smug, condescending American socialist referring to president of the British Eugenics Society and famed purveyor of "services of bed and boy" John Maynard Keynes? I'm all for letting the other side talk but these remarks cannot go uncommented by someone like you, Peter, who is versed in Austrian economics and genuinely looking to better the outcome of future generations, someone who has glimpsed the abhorrent slavery that Keynesianism has created in the formerly "free" world. Besides, if you go over to the dark side, it's no one but Dominic Frisby left in all of Britain championing the cause of liberty. timestamp 58:18

There is no end to my admiration of the man but I envision a world in which Murray Rothbard would have nothing to teach to anybody, in which his ideas were plain as day to everyone and old Murray had to scrape by, only able to feed and educate four children and afford a modest home on a single blue-collar income.

Ever noticed that if you (have to) give something up for the good of the public, the community, or the collective, you never seem to be part of this all-encompassing group of recipients?

None of the things I like were invented by the government, except the MP3 format. Everything I really dislike was invented by the government, except iPhones.
