Is it really possible to avoid the brutality of this era?
Everywhere there is news of wars and deaths. By now we are all accustomed and indifferent to the suffering of others.
However, I don't give up and I try to remain human and believe in the possibility that all humanity will come to its senses.
Looking at history but also at the present, religions continue to create divisions between people. As long as religions do not evolve and continue to go beyond the personal and spiritual sphere, I do not find them of great use.

I fully agree with you. A political class that doesn't want to give up its chair, its power. To the citizens the crumbs.. and the taxes to pay.
In fact, even when talking about satoshi as a group of people, male characters are always suggested.
We can say that if our generation faces all these problems today, the boomer grandparents' generation was partly to blame.
We are left with a huge public debt, skyrocketing living costs and wages that do not match the times we live in.
Clearly I'm generalising, but European countries are going through this phase, my country, Italy, too.
One should always remember this teaching.
Sometimes when life or people hurt us, it'ss difficult to remain true to oneself.
But it's wrong to change one's essence because of the actions of others.
Perhaps it's precisely in those moments that growing up and remaining ourselves makes all the difference.
OMG, 0.83 for my country! How sad, but then again, things haven't been going well for us for too many years. I'll have to change countries sooner or later, either UK or Indonesia.. 😜
It's true that the world economy is not doing so well, especially in the West.
With fiat currencies, there are always cycles of inflation, rising public debts, and policies that don't help, so house prices fly and wages stand still.
As for growing countries, I can think of a few in Asia like Vietnam and India are growing a lot: they have become important centres for technology and manufacturing, with young people pushing the economy.
Unfortunately there are still wars in the world today, we are not evolving in this respect.
However I think like you, fiat currencies certainly have something to do with these problems. That is why Bitcoin will be the long term way out of this global scenario.
Bitcoin can'tt be manipulated by governments or central banks, it's a decentralised and transparent network and offers a more stable form of store of value.
It takes time but everyone will figure it out sooner or later..
Fortunately, the American system has much more robust checks and balances than ancient Rome, and we all know how Caesar ended. I think that for the past 30 years in all Western countries, we’ve taken democracy for granted. But democracy is a fragile system that must be protected, especially in these times of deep inequalities. While Trump has shown authoritarian tendencies, there is still strong institutional, media, and social opposition that can limit his power. It is definitely worrying that populist and authoritarian figures like Trump are gaining ground in politics, especially in countries where democracy has never been questioned. These populist and authoritarian movements thrive when people disconnect from politics. But I have the answer: we have a short memory, or we don't study our past history!

I focus on independence, simplicity, and time. Here's my formula:
Bitcoin = (Income ÷ Expenses) + Time
Achieving financial freedom by exiting the traditional system thanks to Bitcoin, managing income and expenses wisely, and focusing on what we truly need to live well. Less is more, we don't have to jump through hoops just to survive. Above all, we gain the most precious thing: time.
