You are being stolen from. Your money is being debased, your labor is being debased, your civilization and all of its institutions are being debased. You’re having to work longer for less pay. You see your friends and family less and less. You eat worse food, you sleep a little less, and your neighborhood gets a little more impersonal every year. Your life is getting worse, and you are paying for someone else’s excess. How did this happen, and why is it happening? Fiat Ruins Everything is an analysis of the debasement of the modern world from our banking system and real estate to our educational system and art. Learn why these systems keep getting worse and why Bitcoin will make things better.
