> My grand-grandfathers fought in WW2, then returned home to lose their savings to inflation & have everything collectivized by the communists. Imagine fighting on the Eastern front, returning home from Stalingrad on foot, and realising that instead of getting rewarded you’re punished by the new regime.
> Their kids faced systemic discrimination because of their "bourgeois origins”. Grandpa couldn’t finish high school for a few years because ironically, the same communists who advocate for universal education, thought it was dangerous for someone like him to get an intellectual job (he eventually became a school teacher).
> My parents lost their savings to inflation in the 90s. All the money they received at their wedding, which could buy a new car (Dacia 1310, look it up), ended up only buying them a new couch for the bedroom.
This is why I Bitcoin. I’m luckier than they were and I’m using their learnings as motivation to not go through the same issues. I am the result of 4 generations that got screwed by communists.
