just FYI telling somebody to "read a 101 book" or take a class doesn't really help them see your side of things.

I agree that Zimbabwe situation was a combination of bad decisions by a state actor. All I'm trying to say here is that bad decisions are always going to happen when money is controlled by state actors.

Bitcoin exists outside the politico-economic decision-making system we currently rely on to uphold the value of our money. Therefore it's a hedge against inflation.
