During the 2016 presidential campaign there was an infamous moment during a debate between Hillary Clinton and future President Donald Trump.
Hillary was going on about how Donald Trump was an evil rich guy and he was a scammer because he didn’t pay taxes etc etc.
Donald Trump put the microphone up to his mouth while Hillary was mid-name calling and remarked simply, “that’s because I’m smart.”
Half of the country fell off of their chairs.
They couldn’t understand how that would make someone smart.
In their world that would mean you are a thief and evading taxes.
In reality those same people picking themselves off the floor, Hillary herself, and any Trump supporters could have done the very same thing that Donald does himself.
All they had to do was start reading his books and learning what he was doing that is available to all of us.
The book that changed my life was his book with Robert Kiyosaki, “Why we want you to be rich.”
That blew my mind open 12 years ago and I started to quickly realize that wealth is available to all who pay attention and work at it.
Put simply, most choose not to put in the work.
Proof of work.
They don’t get to use different laws.
They are using the same tax code available to all of us however, the only difference is they know how to take advantage of the incentives that do exist for all of us.
They have taken the time to study them or they know the right people were they grew up in the right family.
The secret is that it is available to all of us. It’s just that the top 1-10% are the ones who actually take advantage of what is available to all of us.
Tom Wheelwright outlines it all here perfectly in his book; tax code is filled with incentives for EVERY person.
In an inflationary system you have to buy assets.
Hopefully assets that cash flow, and not just for appreciation.
Dave Ramsey who doesn’t encourage financial literacy and doesn’t understand the money is broken, even says that the biggest cause of people not having wealth at the end of their life is that they chose not to invest consistently.
This is true in an inflationary system, where you have to keep up with the debasement (or the destruction of your wealth) over time by investing in assets.
Those that just save fiat currency, in general, become poorer and poorer each year as their purchasing power, their time and energy (wealth), is stolen from them by the government through inflation.
It’s been taken and redistributed around the world for the ruling class to put in their pet projects to pay off themselves, their family members, and buddies.
Or to buy marketing and propaganda to push their narratives on you.
Does that sound familiar?
It is the most valuable data point that we as human beings have.
When we make a transaction, we are signaling to the world that this product or service we are trading our time and energy for, is worth “said value.”
We must take back control of our money and we must have a deflationary money so we can shrink the wealth gap from the top 1% to the rest of the 99%.
When you have a stable sound and finite money, it allows the average person to work at Goldman Sachs or work at McDonald’s, spend less than they earn, and save the difference in a finite money that accrues purchasing power over time.
This then lowers costs and raises the standard of living for everyone.
It will still exist, but the discrepancies will be minuscule compared to what they are now.
Now insider trading, being a politician, or knowing the right people is one of the fastest ways along with suing other people to get rich.
In a real, productive, free market economy, it should be the people who provide the most value who become the wealthiest.
In a hyper-bitcoinized world that will be the case.
You will no longer be able to create currency out of thin air and steal from your citizenry to sprinkle around to your pet projects, if you are the unproductive class.
Bitcoin presents a level playing field, not level outcomes, but a level playing field for all to prosper no matter what job they work at or what business they run, or where they live in the world.
So, when I was just leaving Michigan State and Obamacare was rammed down the country’s throat and the bail outs were happening and wealthy were given golden parachutes for being pawns ruining the system, and the average person got screwed over…my eyes were really opened that we were just stringing out the little guy.
The only way I have found to level the playing field is to fix the money.
That wrestles away power and control from the unproductive class and puts it back in the hands of the average person.
Then many of the daily squabbles that people have in the political realm, go away, because people are left alone to their own accord to live how they see fit.
So the game is rigged against the wealthy and the poor/middle class alike, it’s just that small subset of society understand how the current system works.
The average person will never understand, nor do they really want to understand or have time to.
Hence why bitcoiners constantly trumpet the saying; “fix the money, fix the world.”
Even Jesus in his day over turned the moneychangers tables.
The ruling class and tax collectors were the ones debasing the currency; melting it down and putting in base metals or clipping coins to steal the wealth of the people through inflation.
This trend continues today and for the first time in human history, we have a permanent answer to this enduring problem.
Stay strong,
