Very true. He didn't articulate it the way we do now, but he saw through the fiat bullshit and played the cantillon game without knowing what it was called.

It's amazing thinking about all the things my father used to tell me....and how so much of what he would say about the government (im sure very similar to yours) continually comes to pass as I grow and observe..

Very thankful to have had that early on

How did your childhood lead you to Bitcoin?

My dad, though if he was still around he would probably be skeptical of bitcoin. He was naturally skeptical of everything. He always went against the grain. In a family/neighborhood of Roosevelt worshipping Italian immigrants, he was a Republican. He almost got disowned by his in laws for supporting Nixon over Kennedy. 
He was naturally distrustful of the government, regardless of party. When the U.S. removed silver from coins, he hoarded the old stuff.
