1971: -Gold was $43/oz -Average hourly wage was $3.70 -Time needed to buy one oz of gold: 11.6 hours
2026: -Gold: $5,000/oz -Average hourly wage: $28 -Time needed to buy one oz of gold: 179 hours
What does this mean?
Your time is literally less valuable today than it was 50 years ago. Look at it this way:
In 1971: Work 12 hours ➡️ get 1 ounce of gold
In 2026: Work 12 hours ➡️ get 0.07 ounces of gold
Gold is still gold. One hour is still one hour. Wtf is happening?
We haven't used sound money since 1971, when U.S. President Richard Nixon took us off the gold standard. Money became infinitely printable, with nothing required to back it.
So they printed money, over and over. And over. And over. And over again.
Every time they printed new dollars, the dollar became worth less. Think about it like this:
If there's 10 copies of a rare painting, and then they make 1,000 new copies, all the copies become worth less. That's what happens when you increase the supply.
That's what's been happening to the dollar since 1971. And guess what?
The money you use represents your time.
You give time and energy to the market, the market gives you money in return. That money reflects the time you gave.
It's no wonder that time has become less valuable as the dollar has become less valuable.
We don't use gold to measure our time and energy. We use a money that can be printed out of thin air by a small, central group of elites that we have no real say over.
Anybody with the power to print money from nothing will eventually abuse that power. That's what's been happening since 1971.
As a result, it now takes more of your time to earn the same amount of gold, which is completely backwards from a species that is supposed to be progressing.
It should be going the other way. As we develop new technologies and bring more productivity to the market, it should take *less* time to earn the same amount of gold.
The only way -- THE ONLY WAY -- to stop your time from becoming less valuable is to use a different form of money. You must exit the dollar system. You cannot escape time-debasement if you are in a system with monetary-debasement.
You need a system that cannot be debased.
We have a monetary system that was explicitly created to prevent monetary debasement once and for all. We have evidence for those that have chosen that system.
If your money was Bitcoin, this is how much time it would take to buy one ounce of gold:
2012: 208 days
2016: 2 days, 22 hours
2020: 4 hours, 28 minutes
2024: 56 minutes
The dollar loses value over time, because it can be infinitely debased. The longer you use it as money, the more time you lose.
Bitcoin gains value over time, because it is the only money that cannot be debased. The longer you use it as money, the more time you gain.
If you're still afraid because of the quantum FUD about Bitcoin, you're just wasting your time.
The threat is still 1-2 decades away, maybe more.
And even if it somehow hit in just 3y, this has been a well-known topic in Bitcoin circles since at least 2014, probably longer. See BitcoinTalk posts and all. Smart people have been working on it for a long time, despite of what your latest shitcoin influencer told you.
There are solutions, but we don't want to implement them too early, because the risk/benefit ratio is off. [this does not apply if you're shilling a "QC-resistant" product of course]
Quantum computing wouldn't just threaten Bitcoin, it would break everything: banks, stock exchanges, government systems, military comms, power grids, you name it...
Bitcoin's entire market cap is a measly 0.3% of global wealth. A rounding error in that house of cards.
History is clear. Revolutionary tech like this gets weaponized by states first, and pointed at what matters most. That's not your sats in reused addresses and that Coldcard you keep under the mattress.
When governments finally crack quantum decryption, they won't waste it on your 15 million sats. They'll save it for the real prizes. And even Satoshi's wallets are fking peanuts in that context.
Remember Enigma? The Allies broke the German code in WWII but intentionally held back on using the intel for years - at the cost of many lives, to keep the Germans clueless and hit only the highest-value targets when it counted.
There is no quantum emergency. Not yet at least.
This cycle's "Bitcoin is doomed by quantum" panic is just the latest fear porn for normies.
Exactly like the endless "climate apocalypse is 12 years away" script. Same playbook, different flavor, now we have scammers and the uninformed instead of Al Gore and Greta and Ver and whoever is here now.
You know what's still a real threat to Bitcoin these days? Ignorance and inaction.

Bro started in 1986 with $390k, day trades “full time”, and has $14m at 88 years old.
He spends 40 years looking at monitors instead of spending time with his family, friends, and grand kids only to make half of a passive low-fee index ETF.
A $390k investment in the S&P 500 in 1986 would be worth almost $30m or more than twice as much as this guy made after day trading 40 years, full time.
Time > Money and he lost out on both. #Alishba_Sozar $BNB $BTC $XRP
If you have under $1k, go for 2x-3x flips (no moonbags)
If you have between $1k-$10k, sell 70% of your bag at 3x and ride the rest to dust or moon
If you have $10k - $100k, do not ape into small memecoins anymore, go for higher size low risk bets with big memes.
If you have $100k - $1m, you should be sizing into big mcaps memes and going for 3x-5x MAX (do not hold for the moon, becaue the memes are already so big)
If you have $1m, stable most of your portfolio and accumulate BTC, SOL, ETH.
I’ll share more alpha soon.

Being in crypto for years, many of us had significant mental changes when it comes to our perception of money.
Big sums don’t surprise us no more, rather feel like a given at times of euphoria.
Poverty seems long-forgotten, yet always circles your mind - any drain or bad investment can send a crypto millionaire back to the trenches.
We often forget how others live out there. Paying their bills. Heavy in debt. No light at the end of their tunnel - no possible “airdrop” in the future to rely on to cover their necessities. No big “life changing jump” is possible with most jobs paying similar amounts (and a job now being something to value and hold on to, due to high unemployment numbers).
Crypto and finance bros always hope for a bright financial future, and often their dreams come true after years of grinding and risking their financial future.
99% of the population, the common folks, have no such luxury to change their lives around. There is often nothing to look forward to in life, no real changes to come.
Boomers were eagerly waiting for retirement - while the younger generations don’t even have retirement to rely on.
The system is so broken that the only way out is to save every cent, hyper-gamble, take bigger risks and pray that you still have a chance at survival and happy retirement.
There is no other industry in the world than crypto which can provide such a big “quantum leap” in one’s financial situation.

Beginners luck in trading industry exists in away most of you praise, it’s so unique that you need to be humble to identify it early and don’t be lied by the early wins in your first year!
I have seen traders on social medias, twitter, TikTok and instagram even during those years of Facebook, traders used to come from no where, they make flips from $1k to 5k,7k and even 10K in 24hrs or 2days live on socials, they get that attention, they gain the fame and they get the public trust that’s in 1-2years lads!
Then they open up channels, they introduce classes, signals, investments and account management programs!
They get sucked into the fame, they forget why they started, they start copying others traders level 10 yet themselves are still at level 1. They adopt to the luxury lifestyle, and they have to maintain this lifestyle!
They start becoming emotional, real nature of trading hits, they loose clients money, through investments, they accumulate bad debts, they loose most of the things, they resort to scumming for survival in line of pausing like professional traders!
Eventually they get noticed by the same community which once trusted them, they disappear from the face of earth(social media) we never hear from them again! The dream of pro trading dies and they never wish to play that game anymore!
Reminder!
To be a mentor, you need experience and this will help you control pressure and manage fame!
Without a good experience you’re so done! #Alishba_Sozar $BTC $ETH $BNB
