Fiat doesn't work on a finite planet. Crypto has failed on its goals. What is a better way to be economically secure?

Assuming the title to be accurate, what is a good way for the working class (90%+ of all humans) to save and succeed in this current environment?

I can see this point, but how else do we store our spent engery? I personally don't want to be working when I'm 90 and the current only option is I have enough saved up something-that-holds-value long enough that I can pay for food and taxes (assuming I can own land)

I understand the frustration, but we are sadly dealt these cards and must play or... And there isn't much another option

100%. We all play the game because if we don't we die. The metaphor you see all the time is that the reason were all swimming in this sea of capitalism is because if we don't we drown. Our participation is not representative of consent I don't really know what we do in the short and medium term but long term we need to kill capitalism

If that's the case, that is quite the bummer, since although there are 8+ billion of us, most of us don't want to die fighting capitalism since we at least get fed (or a majority does) and those who love capitalism tend to have large weapons that cause destruction beyond my comprehension

I had a shower thought recently about how life itself is such an amazing and odd experience, and that's why we put up with such terrible things, since the alternative is not great
