Title: If "a penny saved is a penny earned" Post by: Bitcoin Magazine on July 18, 2014, 01:24:54 PM meaning a penny is "earned" because it loses value over time due to inflation, what is simply a penny saved (as a bitcoin). Is Benjamin Franklin trying to tell us something about our inflationary money supply?

Is Benjamin Franklin trying to tell us something about our inflationary money supply? Obv, saving fiat is as dumb as you can go; so there may be some meaning to what u are saying. Anyway you put it, economic system was allways made so that average person is making that 1% happy. Same thing would happen if the whole worly used bitcoin only, rich ppl would find a way to obtain 99% of it.
