47 sats \ 0 replies \ @jimmysong 22 Apr \ on: Universities are STILL offering only courses on Blockchain, instead of Bitcoin bitcoin
There's a course at Texas A&M for undergrads, and there was one at UT but I don't know many more.
I wrote a whole chapter about this in Fiat Ruins Everything about how Fiat Money has ruined Science. For example, the entire "science" of climate is driven by political considerations through grants, which, of course, is driven by fiat money. What's surprising is how slow scientific progress has been because of how politicized it's become.
It turns out that truth does not give itself up very easily, and anything less than a complete and dogged pursuit of it will fail.
I suspect it's because free trade is a pillar of the WEF/globalist agenda and has been for at least a generation.
It works the other way, too. The people that work up that moral base find themselves earning more money. Married men, for example, are the richest in the economy, I think, for this reason. They've had to build up character and virtue due to their responsibilities. Bitcoiners are getting married and having babies, which I interpret as Bitcoiners maturing and becoming more responsible to handle the next level of wealth.
This is why getting rich slowly is a blessing. It gives you time to acclimate and frankly, mature, before you get to the next stage. People that are given lots of money at once (lotto winners, casino winners, sports stars) generally don't handle windfalls well and you can tell because they end up with divorces and few friends just 3-5 years later.
The slow growing wealth has generally sorted people out in the Bitcoin community. The people that can't handle wealth do something dumb with it (like altcoins) and lose it. It's not a coincidence that a lot of people that have pumped Bitcoin in the past are now pumping altcoins, in jail or something in between.
I suspect a lot of the spiritual searching that I've seen in Bitcoiners is from this dilemma. If you don't have a good base of morals to operate from, you're not going to be able to handle being rich.
