Judging from our twitter feed the past couple of days of #bitcoin price action, some of you have obviously not read The Price of Tomorrow or listen to @JeffBooth podcasts like AT ALL
and
it
shows.
😤😤😤
Time for a thread 🧵👇

WTF is deflation?
It's when goods and services go down in price versus your money?

Is that a bad thing?
No... normally... wait what???🧐🧐
3/
Correct. Deflation is good thing. In deflation, which is the NATURAL ORDER OF AN ADVANCING SOCIETY, people would save more money (because their cost basis for things they want and need is lower).

But that's just first order effect, what's more...
4/
With more money, you can save more. And if you had more savings, if you see an opportunity, you would buy. It's
that
simple.
Inflation on the other hand is the opposite...
5/
your money is worth less in real terms because the goods and services you want are always going up in price.
Let's translate.
So what your central banker du jour is saying when they state, "we have these inflation targets..." is 'we're trying to destroy your purchasing power'
6/
With out CBs, inflation rate would be NEGATIVE.
As technology advances, we can produce more with less.
Freeing up our time.
Giving us better goods and services cheaper and more abundantly.
Inflation is
the⚠️
exact ⚠️
opposite⚠️
So WTF does this have to do with #Bitcoin ?
7/
#Bitcoin is the ONLY thing that allows A MORE CIVILIZED SOCIETY to occur through deflation.
Fiat money is the exact opposite.
Gold is inflationary.
Silver is more inflationary.
No other suitable money exists to let THE FRIGGIN NATURAL ORDER OF THE WORLD to run its course
8/
Yet with #BitcoinCrash trending and some of y'all panicking and thinking about exiting #Bitcoin to "try to buy back in later"🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
you're failing to realize EXACTLY WHAT IT IS YOU OWN.
Bitcoin is
THE 👏
ONLY👏
exit from the failing monetary system of the WORLD.

You don't sell your INSURANCE right before the VERY THING YOU'RE INSURING AGAINST is about to go belly up.

Leaving you with this brilliant point from @JeffBooth on @WhatBitcoinDid Ep 235 with @PeterMcCormack

"In the last 20 years... there has been $185 TRILLION of new money created to produce $46T of economic gain... $4 for every $1 of growth."
🤯

DO YOU GET IT YET?

/end rant.

Top 5 investments to make now that #Bitcoin is dead
👇🏽🧵 Image
1. Real estate - there will always be demand for physical locations for houses and businesses that governments and men with guns can exploit from you.
2. Gold — the original store of value rare earth metal that has gotten to be so effective at storing value that it got centralized and the government and men with guns get to hold on to and create more paper notes of than actual amount in reserves.

Income inequality is a big issue impacting us today.

Politicians use it to rally their base to support certain policies claiming to solve this issue.

Some say that the solution is more taxes, but is it *actually*?

and WTF does inflation have to do with income inequality?
🧵👇 income inequality
for the past 2 decades, the top 1% of earners have grown their income faster than the bottom 90% of earners.
This pattern of slowing income growth of the bottom 90% and acceleration for the top 1% started in the early 1970s 🤔
and it
keeps👏
getting 👏
wider👏
in fact...
over the past 15 years or so, that spread was enhanced by the financial crisis and increased even further by the c19 monetary policy decisions. Take a look:
(charts via The New York Times)

what's more is that this pattern isn't just limited to general wealth...👇

Inflation is at 8.5%, but what does that actually mean?

WTF is CPI?
WTF is PPI?
There's even a WPI 🤨
And all are supposedly measures of inflation...

Have you heard or seen these terms but were too embarrassed to ask what they mean?🫢

Then this is the thread for you.
👇👇 inflation
1/ Definitions
Inflation = as defined by the govt, is [an attempt] to measure how quickly the prices of a specified set of goods and services rise.
📈📈
For example, as today's "measure" shows: prices of that specific set has risen 8.5% YEAR OVER YEAR. It is a relative measure.
2/ More Definitions
CPI = CONSUMER Price Index
its set of goods and services are meant to be representative of "the average person's" purchases.

WPI = WHOLESALE Price Index
this set is meant to represent the "average wholesaler/distributor" costs.

PPI = PRODUCER Price Index...

Yesterday, the 2yr-10yr yield curve inverted for the first time since 2019.

You've heard of yield curves, but what are they and what does their inversion actually mean?

more importantly... WHO CARES?!😅😂

Let's get down to basics and simplify 👇👇🧵
1/ first, some defs:
Bond = loan given to a borrower (government) from an investor (lender).

Gov's "issue" bonds - meaning they sell them.

Investors "buy" bonds - meaning they lend the government money

maturity = the date at which the loan must be repaid to the lender

cont👇
2/
yield = (aka 'coupon' or 'rate') - the interest rate the borrower has to pay the investor in return for the risk they're taking by loaning out the money.

it is a way to quantify the risk the lender is taking; higher⬆️risk means higher⬆️yield, i.e. return for the lender.
