>Exactly, the system is rigged. Its stupid to pay cash for something when everyone else is using imaginary cash.
that's not some imaginary cash - its someone else's cash.
>If you still dont get it, then perhaps I can recommend some reading for you. In short: Austrian econ. If you arent interested, then why post in a bitcoin forum if you are on the enemy team?
>If you think inflation is good, and central control cronyism is good, and regulations are good, then not only are you dumb but you should looove the dollar.
how about you read an actual real economics book? a book that would be used in colleges for example. You just complain about a system that you don't understand while referring to pseudoscience like Austrian economics.
"mainstream economists have been critical of the modern day Austrian School and consider its rejection of mathematical modelling, econometrics and macroeconomic analysis to be outside mainstream economic theory, or "heterodox"." -wikipedia
I took AP Econ and will probably take a College Intro Econ class, so here’s my AP Econ stuff:

Neither is a particularly good use of your time, all things considered.
The best return on your time investment lies with reading a standard intro textbook first. Mankiw, Cowen, and Krugman all supply serviceable intro texts.
I'm not saying, "don't read Keynes." There is a certain value in reading the old texts. I'm only suggesting you read them in the context of a modern textbook. You must understand that The General Theory was written by a professional economist, for professional economists, in the context of the intellectual climate of the 1930s. It was not a book for lay or general audiences. By contrast, a modern intro textbook is written by a professional economist, expressly for lay introductory students, in the context of the current economic climate.
