yesterday i had a conversation with one of my best friends from germany. he sat down with his buddies who also know me and who know about my bitcoin story and they made bitterly angry fun of me, what my problem was with the state with the euro and this bitcoin shit had no value at all. that was roughly the o-ton that is the state of affairs in germany and we are talking about engineers and lawyers here. they will swallow the digital surveillance euro, as they have accepted everything so far

the problem with them is that they saw my bitcoin story linked to their submission to the covid regime, which i had criticized so strongly. for me this is a complex that belongs together and that means there is a deep rift in society that is reflected in this group

Maybe things will turn out fine for the establishment:

Let inflation eat away at the burden of governmental debt.
Enact some sort of tax grab under the guise of some sort of emergency.
Keep another lockdown in the back pocket in case the people get restive.

so far, the inflation of government debt has not really worked. economies are drifting into recession, the private sector is being squeezed out, debt continues to rise and inflation is destroying the consumer.
