Why the Game Is Rigged and You’re Getting Robbed
Let’s be honest, the entire financial system is broken, and it starts with the money.
This post isn’t going to be about picking winners or how to make a profit; it’s about sound money.
Sound money is dead. What we have now is funny money printed out of thin air by central banks, handed to billionaires, and weaponized by governments who don’t give a damn about the consequences.
If you’re wondering why everything feels rigged, why your paycheck buys less, and why every “solution” from the Federal Reserve makes things worse, congrats, you’re paying attention.
When money is fake, everything else gets distorted.
Fiat Money = Government on Steroids
When the government doesn’t have to earn your money, when it can just print it, they have zero incentive to be responsible. Wars, welfare, incompetence, no problem, just press “print.”
With sound money, politicians actually have to ask you to fund their idiocy. Or they would have to tax you (taxation is theft), and no one would willingly hand over their hard-earned money, without the threat of violence, which is exactly why they prefer the current system: invisible theft via inflation.
That $1,000 in your savings account? It’s losing purchasing power every day. That’s not a bug. That’s the business model.
Big Banks, Bailed-Out Billionaires, and Insider Theft
Let’s talk about who gets the money first. Every time the Fed prints money, it’s not going to you. It’s going to Wall Street, big banks, connected corporations, and the political elites.
Then, when their bets blow up? They get bailed out, and you get wiped out. Remember 2008? They didn’t fix the system; they just papered over the corruption with more debt and will do it again. Because the people running this system are never the ones who pay the price for failure, you are.
This isn’t capitalism, it’s cronyism.
In real capitalism, bad businesses fail. In today’s Fed-fueled fantasy world, failure is socialized and success is privatized. You’re on the hook for their mistakes, and they have no accountability.
Malinvestment: The Crack Cocaine of Easy Money
When interest rates are fake, price signals get warped and risk gets ignored. Capital flows into garbage ideas because money’s cheap and consequences are gone. These are malinvestments, misallocated resources driven by the illusion of endless money.
The economy becomes a casino, and everyone’s gambling with your future.
When it all crashes (again)? The Fed cuts rates, prints more, and repeats the cycle. It’s a financial opioid addiction, and we’re deep in withdrawal.
None of this is sustainable.
Eventually, reality hits. Hard!
The Corruption of Money Reflects the Corruption of the Individual
Money’s not evil, it’s a tool.
It reflects who you are and what you value. In a sound money system, you have to produce, save, and invest. That takes discipline, long-term thinking, and real effort.
But put that tool in the hands of a liar, a thief, or a coward, and it becomes a weapon.
We’ve created a culture of speculators, scammers, and parasites. The guys who build things are taxed into the ground, and the guys who run the “game” get rich.
Did money corrupt the man, or did the man corrupt the money?
That’s the question no one wants to answer, because it forces us to look inward. If you cheat to get rich or cling to power by robbing others, money exposes what was already inside you.
Parasites, Looters, and the Death of Earning
We’ve created a society where entitlement replaces effort. There’s a growing class of people who want wealth without work. They vote for handouts, they guilt-trip producers, they demand “justice” that looks a lot like theft, and politicians encourage it, because dependent voters keep them in power.
Sound money says, if you want something, create value. Fiat says, vote for someone who’ll steal it for you.
It’s killing the moral foundation of a functioning economy. When value isn’t earned, it’s not appreciated. When enough people stop producing and start looting, the whole system collapses.
As Ayn Rand put it: “When you see that in order to produce, you need permission from men who produce nothing, you may know your society is doomed.”
Unearned Wealth Destroys the Unworthy
Give a man money he didn’t earn, and watch it destroy him.
It’s not about the cash, it’s about who you become by earning it. Money becomes poison without the grit, discipline, and responsibility that wealth requires. It inflates egos, fuels addictions, and attracts the worst kind of humans.
There’s a reason lottery winners end up broke. Wealth without wisdom is a curse.
Money Without Purpose Is a Death Sentence
We’ve used fiat money to paper over meaninglessness. To distract people from their lack of vision, purpose, and values. But that’s not wealth. That’s just a longer runway to crash.
Sound money rewards purpose. It rewards people who know what they want and are willing to work for it. Fiat money rewards consumption, distraction, and short-term thinking. It creates weak people with no resilience, leaving them hanging when the system breaks.
You can have all the money in the world and still be completely lost.
Money doesn’t fix a broken soul. It just gives it more leverage to self-destruct.
If you’re strong, it’ll make you stronger; if you’re lost, it’ll bury you.
Fix the Money, Fix the Men
This isn’t just a call to return to gold, Bitcoin, or whatever you want. This is a call for discipline, honesty, and responsibility in governments, in markets, and most importantly, in yourself.
Instead of being forced to use the dollar, we need to have competing currencies. Give people the freedom to choose, and they will find out what is best for them.
The problem is that when you limit money, you limit the government’s power, which they don’t want.
You can stay in the system, keep playing the rigged game, and hope for a miracle.
Or you can start protecting yourself with real value, assets, and principles.
Fix the money, but fix the men first.
Otherwise, we’ll keep repeating the same mistakes.
