The Amish aren’t waiting for inflation to get worse.
Today, I had a conversation with a local nursery owner who's been running his business in the same location for decades. While we chatted at checkout, I mentioned that I teach Bitcoin.
That’s when he told me something surprising:
💥 His Amish supplier refused to accept U.S. dollars.💥
To pay for thousands of dollars worth of inventory, he had to go out and purchase silver coins.
The entire community trades in metal—not paper.
Think about that.
While most people are still trying to make sense of inflation, interest rates, or CBDCs...
Others are already living outside the system.
Quietly.
They’re not waiting for permission.
They’ve opted out.
A parallel economy is already here. The only question is: will you see it in time?
