Balaji betting 1 BTC = $1M in 90 days. Not sure about $1M, but sure as hell that the world is waking up to the USD scam. During the last weeks I’ve talked to bankers, lawyers, etc. who are smart but trusted the fiat system. They are now realizing Bitcoin is the true SoV.

Great issue by @Noahpinion on implications of aging. Some excerpts: “a small number of workers is forced to slave away their entire lives just to support a sea of elders, with little time or money left to enjoy their lives (or to support children).”

How much does aging really hurt a country?

It's not a disaster, but it is a persistent drag.

Aragon’s massive treasury has given the project so many headaches. @AragonAssoc has deployed >$155m to allow all ANT to be redeemed for ETH. Something so simple as letting go of funds has been such a complex and lengthy endeavor internally. But this is the right move.

@licuende @Noahpinion I actually kind of expect that we'll see some ppl emigrate away from rapidly-aging countries for precisely that reason--to move to comparatively younger countries where the tax burden is lower. Could lead to some bad self-sustaining emigration spirals in middle income countries.
