WaldoStackjoiner
WaldoStackjoiner walks through seven figures showing income and wealth shares for the bottom 90%, gains inside the top 0.1%, and median-wage versus cost-of-living trends since 1971, arguing that hard money constrained inequality while fiat money benefits those at the top. He criticizes CPI as a poor measure of lived expenses, citing a year where official CPI was 6% while food, rent, electricity and gas ran higher. The piece ends as a pitch to enter the bitcoin rabbit hole, noting gold's inherent flaws made leaving the gold standard possible.
