Just had a doctor (e.g. highly educated) try to argue that Bitcoin's divisibility is a form of inflation. I dug a bit. He got the line of argument from Ramsey. 🤡

I love inflating my pizza supply when I cut it
I’m a doctor(retired early because of Bitcoin) and I can assure you that critical and independent thinking is not a hallmark of doctors. I don’t know why, but it is a fact.
I did, in fact, go there.
Kudos on all fronts. At least in America, this is observably true. And there are many in my family.
Dividing the pie into more slices doesn’t bake a new pie. 🍕⚡ 

I orange pilled my sister(who’s a doctor, and one of the rare freely thinking ones, too, She’s 74 now!) and brother in 2020. I’m proud of that!
Inflation is bad only if you don't own assets .. in other words it incentivizes asset ownership .. but traditional assets are hard to acquire for plebs - high fees and entry barriers ( KYC ) ..
Bitcoin breaks these barriers .. you can get 10 SATs for literally no fee and no KYC .. . Try doing that with gold or real estate :-)
That is why #Bitcoin is the apex asset .. however , for it to function like an appreciating asset , you do need inflation .. printer is a good thing !
In essence , Bitcoin is solution to worlds hunger problem only if central banks keep printing 🤑 ..else it has no use !
I meet a lot of people that make this argument. Typically from people who consider themselves quite “financially educated.” While we usually go for the “does 10in pizza cut into 100 slices have more pizza than a 10in pizza cut into 10 slices” I think this analogy falls flat because with pizza, at 10 slices, 10 people can be full but at 100 slices 100 people go hungry lol.
I think a better framing is “Does a stock split change the valuation of a company? Does a stock split change the ownership distribution of the stock? No, and No. This is divisibility. However, a stock dilution - where the company issues new shares in such away that it lowers the ownership stake of preexisting shareholders. This is inflation and it’s happening to your dollars every minute of every day.”

Infinite pizza for all!
Remember when Infinite Pizza Lady, Samantha LaDuc got to learn that lesson the hard way?


Retard alert
Ramsey isn’t even anti bitcoin he just sees it as speculation instead of investment
Because medicine was captured by government and turned into a bureaucracy where following orders, rote memorization and following “standard of care” formulas are the requirements for success?
Yes.
And maybe due to the inconvenient fact that doctors are as sheepish as the rest of the majority of any population, doctors or not.
I doubt that independent thinking is learned; it’s more a part of a personality type that is too rare.
But of course the culture of any organisation is important, and if the culture is rewarding following orders, lays emphasis on bureaucracy and rote memorization instead of rewarding independant thinking, this is what you get, especially if you have a group of relatively high iq individuals, that can implement the programming effectively.
He's pumping his bags IMO; simple as that.
thinking for yourself is hard. Poor bloke.
