20 sats \ 6 replies \ @guerratotal 30 May \ on: The "Magic Coin" and Renewing Interest in Monetary Policy econ
Beautifully said. Fiat systems thrive on monetary ignorance — and it’s no accident. If the average person truly understood how money gets devalued, the entire game would collapse overnight. Teaching kids about sound money isn’t just educational… it’s an act of resistance.
For me, Bitcoin was the gateway drug to Austrian economics. I stumbled into What Has Government Done To Our Money? shortly after discovering Bitcoin — and it felt like someone handed me the missing piece to reality. Suddenly, history, wars, inflation, inequality… it all clicked.
Tools like The Magic Coin are essential. Fix the money, fix the future — but first, fix the mindset.

Especially with that company!!! They are a spyware company that sells information. I guess we could all have our personal data sold to the highest bidder, just like the DNA data that was recently sold at auction!! The whole thing stinks so badly, I can smell it from here.

The population is fucked. Their data is being farm by corporations and they are kept in Fiat prison with data surveillance by the government.

You know, it seems to me that Rothbard’s * What Has Government Done To Our Money?* is the gateway reading to economic interest for a vast amount of people, it got me, too. I happened on to it by accident when I saw it in the library, on a display table amongst a bunch of other popular economics books. It lead to much more reading.

It’s proof that the most dangerous thing for the fiat system isn’t a protest… it’s financial literacy. And yeah — starting with kids? Absolute game changer

I think the author of The Magic Coin is also the author of a series of economics books for children. My kids are too old for that kind of book now so I just encourage them to read What Has Government Done To Our Money? whenever I get the chance and two of them have, it appears. One is into BTC and is an OG BTCer and the other is reading other Austrian economics books (mine). So, I know this kind of approach to economics works. Another good book to start teenagers is Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson.
