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?

You're assuming all currencies have inflation. Currencies can have deflation.

But it could also gain value. If it was a Satoshi, for example! Just giving it away means losing it completely. Saving it is a reasonable thing to do!

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.

a penny saved is only a penny earned if you find it on the ground
