Now all understand what @MarkYusko was saying: There are no Democrats or Republicans, there’s just ‘in’ and ‘out.’ If you’re out, you’ll do and say anything to get into power; and vice versa, if you’re in, you’ll do and say anything to stay in power.
Our current monetary system is nothing more than a giant Ponzi scheme, masquerading as acting in the best interest of its citizens, led by the @federalreserve, a private corporation with shareholders.
This is simply not a fair system. I do all the work but yet the government collects 65% of my wages in taxes. You say what, nonsense, @Otisa502, I only pay 30%. OK then. Let’s name a few of the taxes: Income tax 30%; property tax; sales tax 8.5%; capital gains tax 30%; tolls to
cross bridges or drive on certain highways; tax on car insurance; and the biggest tax of them all, the silent tax called inflation, which between last year and this year the government and the Fed printed 40% of the total US dollars that ever existed, so easily a 30% tax.
There’s a tax on your MetroCard, New Jersey Transit, LIRR, or BART train fairs, or any city bus. When you park your car, there’s a 10.38% tax in most big cities. There’s a tax when you go to dinner or buy food. There’s a tax when you take Uber or Lyft, or any taxi, and on and on.
This is why the rich evade taxes (as legally as they can) at all costs, because it’s the taxes that keep you poor, and it’s done on purpose. They don’t need our money; they can simply print trillions out of thin air, as demonstrated during this COVID pandemic. They simply tax
the hell out of us to keep us poor. And the only company I see that is trying & making a difference in giving everyone on earth financial independence is @CelsiusNetwork.
Thank you, @Mashinsky. Your great wisdom and understanding has been life changing to many, including myself.

1/7 “Our mission, that 100 million people, it’s not about just getting 100 million. The key is to get these 100 million people to achieve financial independence, to achieve financial freedom. Today, if you go on our website Celsius.Network, you

1/39 RYAN (@RyanSAdams): “I want to maybe end on this question, which is: What advice do you have for the crypto natives? Like, again, a lot of people, as we started this podcast listening to Bankless (@BanklessHQ), crypto is really their first experience in investing.
2/39 “They're learning about investing through crypto, which is sort of bizarre. I think they're leveling up faster than they might in the real world. But there are still some timeless lessons that can be applied from traditional investments here. What are those? Share some.”
3/39 MARK (@MarkYusko): “So the first is, to understand the difference between investing, trading, speculating and gambling. None of them are bad or good necessarily. Just like introvert and extrovert; people are like, oh, introverts are not cool and extroverts are cool.
