Well I do know who owns the majority of USD and it's a bunch of thugs who use the government to do their dirty work for them. "Intellectual Property" owners who use law enforcement to keep me from copying books, movies, songs, drugs, etc that I already own. Those poor impoverished drug, movie and music industry execs, software moguls and J.K. fucking Rowling. They're so poor they have to go to some soup kitchen called Spago to commiserate with each other.

I'm not looking for easy riches. I'm looking for freedom.

Freedom by what? Bitcoin? Explain how does bitcoin bring you freedom if it's value is controlled by few unknown entities?
"The freedom seekers" among the bitcoin community are the biggest fools. Even USD has a lot more transparency then bitcoin.

If you want financial freedom, then you have to be in control of your wealth. For instance, put your wealth in a company that you control and understand. That is true freedom, when you control your wealth by your knowledge and skill.

This is what I think of the petro-dollar
