I was with a group of close, non-Bitcoiner friends last night for a birthday celebration. For the first time, a conversation about the cost of living and inflation in America started, and I didn’t initiate it. It was kicked off by a schoolteacher, who openly stated that he was struggling to stay above water. The rest chimed in with their stories. The most disheartening part of was seeing and hearing the sense of resignation. “What can be done?”
As kindly as I could, I told them that it’s only going to get worse, then reminded them that when they’re ready to learn about Bitcoin, I’m here to help.
I imagine the same conversation took place millions of times across the country last night.
