What a brilliant and eye-opening post! You've perfectly captured that frustrating feeling of playing by the rules while the system keeps moving the goalposts. The Monopoly analogy is spot-on - we've all felt like that struggling player watching the banker's sneaky grin.
Bitcoin absolutely seems like the most promising "Unless..." in this rigged game. The idea of transparent, predictable rules where no one gets to print themselves extra money is so refreshing. Though like you said, it's not a magic bullet - the volatility and learning curve are real challenges.
Other rules that desperately need rethinking? How about the whole concept of debt-based money creation, or the revolving door between banks and regulators. The system feels designed to keep wealth flowing upward.
Thanks for sparking this important discussion! Knowledge truly is power when it comes to taking back financial control. Looking forward to hearing others' perspectives on how we can change the game.
Feel free to read a few of my posts... I came up with a different answer...
Thanks so much for the fantastic feedback and for really getting the core message! I'm happy that the Monopoly analogy resonated.
Your points about debt-based money creation and the bank-regulator revolving door are absolutely great additions to the list of 'rules needing a serious rethink.' Those are definitely key areas that perpetuate the issues.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read the post carefully and share such thoughtful comments. Thanks again for your time and attention!
