You wrote a lot. Can you point me to where specifically you provide evidence that the money supply has NOT been increased as Ammous says?
Also I've never heard a good excuses for why he promoted not one but 2 shitcoin promotions. See the below, from here: #1277788
Here's what Saifedean Ammous, author of The Bitcoin Standard, has to say about the situation in Argentina:
Everyone excited about an Argentina economic miracle is basing it on all sorts of government statistics except the most important statistics: money supply measures and public debt growth.
Under its new supposedly free-market Rothbardian president, Argentina's money supply in 2024 has increased at these astonishing rates:
M0: 209% M1: 133% M2: 93% M3: 123%
I was in Panama a while back - like 20 plus years ago.
At a small bed and breakfast that we stayed at, the owner (a German guy who was trying to sell the business to us, lol) told us that once a person was his employee for 90 days, they are effectively your employee for life - you can't fire them (without a huge amount of time and expense). There were a couple stories similar to that one.
That indicated, to me, a lot of economic control by the government.
I assume/hope that Panama is no longer like this, and that there's a lot more economic freedom?
People just don't want to have children and are no longer expected to by society.
I think that part of the reason people don't want to have children is because they are no longer expected to, by society.
I just got it, and am on the section where he writes about how World War I actually developed.
I never knew what an incredible, treasonous, perverted and sick path it was (has fiat written all over it) that pushed so many nations into this war.
Disgusting, but good to know.
WWI eventually killed more than 17 million people, and laid the groundwork for WWII.
Looking forward to getting to the more uplifting sections.
I think that's what pension funds do...manage the account for the beneficiaries, who themselves don't have any individual control over the funds.
I remember there was a podcast called Blue Collar Bitcoin. Two firefighters that were into bitcoin, and one of their big goals was to get the firefighters pension fund to buy bitcoin.

My experiences at auto shops has been mediocre to bad.
My main strategy is only buying cars that are either #1 or #2 in reliability. So, mostly Toyota. That's served me very well over the years.

I'm being urged to serve on the HOA board. I've done this before (in a different neighborhood) and it was no fun.
You're right, the incentives are all wrong. How do you improve this?
I was thinking about writing that post as well. Because that's something that comes up all the time, when I tell people about carnivore, "But what about vitamin C?".
These accounts are much older, usually from way before 1920, while there were still tribes that were eating their traditional foods.
Another factor that comes into play is apparently that the kidneys become much more efficient at retaining sodium. You don't excrete as much, if you're not taking in very much.
And...why should sweat be salty? Presumably, for people that don't add any salt to their food, I'm guessing that their sweat would be less salty. Maybe not even salty at all.
