Title: A must watch for all the younger generation
Post by: bitfromit on July 06, 2013, 08:16:11 AM
BTC is a direct attack on The State. I'm sure most of us suspect this to varying degrees, but perhaps the brainwashed next generation should know the other side of the story :

"Warfare, Welfare, and the State" By Robert Higgs (51 mins, The Mises.org inst, 12 months ago, ONLY 13k views)

Skip in to 9:15 to avoid the boring into stuff.

Not sure what Robert thinks about BTC though.

Don't think the 'newer' generation isn't aware of all that. As far as I can tell there are much more younger people willing to accept such views than older ones. There are much more older people who took their past years to get at least some 'wealth' for themselves within the system and for them it's very hard to look at it that way. There are much less young people who are not in that wealthy position and for them it's much easier to see through. Another point is that younger people are much more motivated to at least try to change something. Satoshi is more likely about 20 years old than 70.

Of course do the brainwash instruments have it's effects especially to the new generation and there are a lot of zombies within it. As a kid I was very naive too but I've learned to use my own brain and feelings instead of keep being a clueless slave. And now I'm trying to support each movement that could take the power back to the people. There are not much external inputs needed to at least think about it and the amount of inputs are everywhere. I don't see the problem that people are not aware. I more see the problem that not enough well organized groups are willing to do anything against it.

It's obvious what Dr. Higgs thinks about BTC (if he takes the time to understand the design). BTC is the first real global initiation to take the financial powers from the central banks and give them back to the people. BTC is ahead everything else within the financial world and will (as long as we fight for it) more and more be a real thread for them.
