I guess I'll give you points for being consistent: you're probably not simply 'anti Bitcoin', but against the larger development of excessive 'financialization' (through financial derivatives), right?

You bet.

Money is not real wealth, it is just a token that one can exchange for ~~real wealth~~ things and stuff.

Real wealth is something that most of the "intellectual powerhouses" here will never understand or have; they are too busy obsessing over accumulating stuff and things, measuring themselves against illusions and performing in a loaded game.

real wealth is knowledge.

all other things are...well...things.

That's so fucking profound. Thanks for that original and enlightening thought.
I'm curious what YOU measure yourself against and how you think you're doing. Don't say you don't do it. All that would mean is you have no interest in self improvement.

Tell me, oh wisetits, how should I measure myself?

you are a stupid fuck so you try to measure everything against something.

but there are some categories that arent really measurable.

No, sweetheart- I'm an economist which means I try too measure everything against something. That's what economists do. If something isn't subjectively or objectively measurable, it doesn't exist.

you can call your mama sweet.

so ideas/thoughts dont exist?

and yet, many people here concluded that you are stupid as fuck. care to explain that in numbers?
