i'll never afford to buy one. salaries don't keep up.

If the minimum wage would have risen with the rate of inflation since the minimum wage law was put into law it'd be $34/hour. that's a statistic. A fact. and you all complain about people wanting $15/hour...

Sorry. It’s bad right now.

But look at this :

I priced out my house and then the value it went up in fiat price (68% increase since we bought in 2015), BUT adjusted for inflation only went up 10%, AND that is offset by taxes, repairs, maintenance, time, etc. So I’m net negative 25% in real terms. NOT up 68%!

Now compare that to if I had that money in Bitcoin. Bitcoin was up 19,000% since i bought in 2015!!!!

Note: I used 25% as the cumulative fiat inflation rate since 2015. In real terms we know it’s even higher than the government numbers
