Not all civilizations used wheels. Those in mountains or dense forests didnt, at least not a lot of usage. Also wheels require roads and require some sort of collective and social engineering to make sure road condition stay good and safe/secure

Me personally, bitcoin is my savings account. Every george washing dollar bill gets put into BTC. I sold all my stocks. I sold my ROTH IRA and paid the penalty and short term capital gains. I sold all my possessions until all I owned was a bed, a desk, and 7 pairs of each article of clothing.

I eventually would also move into my car to avoid rent payments to put more money into BTC.

But I didn't just do this yesterday, this was my mentality in 2020. So I went all in before the bull market pretty much.

So I'll always be in profit.

And I've been buying the whole way up and whole way down. I don't care. My whole portfolio is bitcoin.

Then he does that weird salesperson hand stuff that some seminar said inspires confidence.

It's all weird when you put it together.

Also his traps are weirdly big, which makes his neck look a lot smaller, and I think he's also got some weird posture going on. Which just makes him look like Count Orlok, which is not a good image when you're yelling and moving toward the camera.

I feel like it's possible to make a good sale while yelling, if you have that Billy Mays "I am so fukken excited about this junk, boy howdy," thing going on, but this just seems aggro and off-putting, like he really needs the money and is getting desperate and mad.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

Cryptographicard Currency is going to let us seize control of the economy, and therefore the government, from those out-of-touch-fat-cats in Washington, then we can deal with the big issues, like age of consent laws (Day 1)

It’s called cryptocurrency as you’ll take it to the crypt with you since there’s no way for your estate to gain access unless you just give people keys to your account.

This stuff sounds familiar. There's a common theme of a very mystical, cargo-cult-y approach to the trappings of capitalism that somehow thinks it's rational, isn't there?

Yeah. And that all its failings are the result of not doing it hard enough. Hence "crony capitalism" and other "I would be the boot if we were doing capitalism properly" dogwhistles.

'Real capitalism has never been tried' and all that.

A real running theme that they assume property rights are a law of physics and in general don't, and actively refuse to, understand that property and money are social constructs that only exist as long as they are enforced.

Real funny looking up 'sound money' and finding reports from some real dodgy looking places talking about how important it is despite all the haters and being debunked while not explaining anything about what it actually is or how it works.

Wikipedia just redirects it to 'hard currency'.
