Realizing most people may not entirely understand bitcoin, but they do understand their money doesn’t go so far. Feel free to send this to your friends / family that need it broken down in a manner that makes sense. Want to understand why me and so many are passionate about bitcoin only? Because it fixes this: 👇🏻 How much of your hard earned money is actually stolen away from you? Here’s the simple math: Let’s say you’re an American earning $100k annually. You end up losing 50%+ to the system every year: Taxes: $30k+ (income, food, shopping, cars, etc). Inflation: At 9-10%, $10k+ in purchasing power is eroded annually; $100k+ lost after 10 years. Debt: Average credit card balance of $10k at 23.37% costs $2,337/year; over $23k in 10 years. Savings/401k: #Inflation guts the value, leaving you with less real purchasing power. After #taxes and inflation, <$50k/year remains. Here’s the breakdown: What You can afford at $100k: Rent/Mortgage: $1,666.66/month ($20k/year). Groceries: Average $976.60/month ($11,719/year). Utilities, Gas, Internet, Streaming, Car, etc.: $1,435/month ($17,220/year). Total essential expenses: $48,939/year, leaving $1,061/year or $88.42/month for miscellaneous expenses or savings. EIGHTY EIGHT DOLLARS LEFT!!! 🥴 What is stolen from you over time? After 5 years: $250k+ lost to taxes, inflation, and interest. After 10 years: $500k+ gone; half your income, stolen by the system. Your Life Boat: Meanwhile, $100 in Bitcoin biweekly grows to $172k in 10 years (20%), or $1.4M at 50% growth. Fiat is theft. Inflation is robbery. Bitcoin is freedom. 🧡 #Bitcoin is your lifeboat. #nostr #grownostr #plebchain #introductions https://i.nostr.build/FSZMhNbfvNyrgUTt.jpg
