This post was a great idea. You nailed it in mentioning the strong/weak men meme. I instinctively believe bitcoin can be applied as an example, but I struggle in articulating a simple explanation beyond my fallback cliche of how the debasement of Roman coinage tracked the decline of the empire, both morally and otherwise.
I think the test post went fairly well. Maybe I will try another quote next weekend.

It went very well. It's a great idea. We'll all benefit if it's a regular thing, since we will learn the quote, probably search the context, and then internalize it through discussion.

Hoping it is something that catches on and others post quotes like they for discussion.
I just made the connection to that meme today to be honest. I often cite this quote but it is usually just the first two sentences and though I have read the full quote many times I only really connected that meme to it in writing the post.
It's incredible how they tied the first two sentences into the final two sentences.
