      Even just 5 years ago I would never have expected people on hexbear to use straw man arguments, instead of honestly engaging with what’s being said, but here we are.

        Look, the reason I even bother to comment in this thread is to provide some context in the hopes that people don’t get fooled by Austrian school libertarian crap.

        If anyone wants to take out their life savings and invest in gold or crypto, it’s in their own right. I am just here to provide the warning.

          Literally nobody is advocating any Austrian school libertarian crap. What’s shocking here is that self proclaimed materialists reject the notion that commodities can be used as a store of value.
