Investing in crypto is the only big chance of making money

[@Primal_Primat3]

Yeah lets get rid of BTC and start using the "elite" or "government" backed crypto, that sounds like a great idea, sign me right up.

[@teardropsonmyfallen]

If there's anything I've learned from watching movies and playing video games, is that when the world goes to shit the only currency worth having is cigarettes. There I said it. Stock up everyone. Marlboro light will be worth millions when the bombs start dropping

[@TheTunnelVizion]

1) Fiat makes war cheap.

[@b00m3rh4nd_sol]

Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks :D

[@MattyMooreChannel]

Thank you Lex and Niall. Shared!

[@bogdangorbatyuk3330]

Such a professional and poetic speaker!

[@frankcafarella3400]

This cant be cancelled or killed , government "hold my beer"

[@xouat]

“As long as we pay our taxes” is the crux of the matter, both economically, politically, morally and technically.

[@joshuapagano]

"The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust."

[@muslimminarchist7026]

If you know the FIAT system then you know "a wave of inflation is always coming". I am pretty sure Satoshi knew that all FIAT eventually goes to zero.

[@Bond58]

These guys make me feel like an idiot

[@brian8560]

Nialls first sentence in this clip are evidence of his lack of knowledge in this area

[@d7r_tv]

LOL Genesis block (0) LITERALLY has message: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks" and this guy says Satoshi didn't think there would be inflation. 😆

[@BrianKehm]

“I’m on the side of humor but it is a dangerous activity these days.”
