Lies, Deception, & Unnatural Money

“Money printing only “works” if the majority of people don’t even realize that it is steadily devaluing their earnings and savings. People must be deceived into believing a false ideology about this practice, but that can only work for so long; as we’ve seen throughout history, bad money doesn’t last forever.” – Nik Hoffman

How Will Bitcoin Lead to More Freedom

“It had a big impact on May, who melded the “Other Plane” with “Galt’s Gulch” from Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, which was a safe haven for rational and productive people protected from government coercion and taxation by an invisible shield.
