What does it *actually* do to deserve that?

- expensive to use
- slow AND low throughput
- Lightning still hasn't proven itself outside test environments after EIGHT years
- no programmability
- L2 lose traceability of L1 (so what's the point of having a blockchain to begin with?)

It solves Money, you think it expensive and slow because you're comparing it to fiat L2/3, compare it to gold

1) Hard money forces positive sum activity as everything has to balance.
2) Hard money fell out of favor for transactional not economic reasons during the industrial revolution.
3) Politics always favors soft money because it enables easy and opaque theft.

Social spending acts as a supply-side subsidy for labor, a worker CAN'T sell their labor for less than subsistence, but what happens if we give them food stamps, subsided housing, Medicare etc? Well now they can sell their labor for less than it costs to produce!

But wait! How were those social programs paid for? Deficit spending? Exactly. Deficit spending is an expansion of the money supply (simple dilution), it robs ALL income earners and gives to asset holders (as an increase in money supply will naturally inflate assets), a HUGE and on going parasitic transfer of resources from income earners to oligarchs, THIS is the driving force of the wage/productivity divergence seen since the 60s.

Notice that this also suppresses incomes of higher paid workers by convincing them the nominal gains on house value is wealth instead of inflation, why boomer dominated fields (mechanical engineers etc) get paid so poorly, $60k seems like a lot if you bought 30 or 40 years ago, but you haven't gotten wealthy, your real terms income has just drilled through the mantle.

Even illegal immigration, seen as a driver of wage stagnation, is merely a justification for further debasement, or do you think the goblins come here for our magic clay and not our social welfare spending?

There are no political solutions, and not in the poltard "violence is the answer" as violence is of course wholly political, there are no political solutions because politics is a memetic parasite that never fixes anything. There are only technical and economic solutions, and BTC is just that, a technical fix for the political corruption of Money.

you're retarded. BTC devs can't arbitrarily charge BTC. You fail to see the systemic economic value of hard money, which is why you aren't a maxi, but that will change, everyone is a maxi in the limit

Gold miners do not change the properties of Gold.

BTC has changed properties via the examples I mentioned, especially SegWit adjusted how a Bitcoin is defined.

I suppose that means you're retarded.
