It's not surprising tbh. Most millionaires like Linus or tech people in general have so much money that the problems of the financial system don't impact their lives.
Continuous exponential growth is actually something our financial system was DESIGNED FOR. It it makes no sense our inflationary money makes no sense.
Crypto is not going to fix the financial system, nor will it make you a millionaire.
And if it did, then that's why you're selling it!
Like I said, privileged people who don't think that bitcoin is useful.
This is the most hilarious part. One system literally has exponential growth, while the other is literally created to combat this.
