Highlights from the Orange Hatter Reading Club this week studying The Hidden Cost of Money by sebbunney (npub1tm2…lpna).
Last meeting was powerful, and I can’t stop thinking about our conversations. Imagine learning the truth about things we’ve trusted for years—like the food pyramid our parents believed in, only to find out it wasn’t actually healthy. It’s tough to see them trying to unlearn what they thought was right, especially when they’re now facing health issues from a lifetime of poor eating and relying on prescription drugs.
It’s the same with money.
We tackled a big question: *Can Bitcoin really fix the world?*
Some of us think it could be a game-changer for everything—health, education, freedom—while others see it as just a tool that big players might still control.
With central banks, big institutions and nation-states involved, will Bitcoin still really be “the people’s money”?
We even wondered if, in the end, Bitcoin will help close the wealth gap or if those in power will just own most of it.
We didn’t all agree, but it was refreshing to share different ideas without worrying about “polite” correctness.
One topic hit close to home—*how we’re raising kids today.*
Will they have the strength of character necessary to think on their own, or are we raising a generation of followers?
This is why I believe so much in teaching kids about money *and* building their character.
It’s more than just “saving money”—it’s about raising kids who think for themselves and question things, like whether inflation has to be part of life or if banks really hold all the power.
And the IMF discussion? Wow. It shocked us all to learn just how much wealth has been taken from developing countries in the name of “help.” The truth hit hard—these countries end up worse off, while powerful groups profit from their debt. And then there’s the BIS…an organization few people even know about, yet it controls so much of the world’s money. Learning this opened our eyes to just how much happens that we don’t even see.
If any of this sparks something in you, come join us!
