Anyone else use this board and crypto in general as an escape from politics? I just want to watch my numbers go up.

Just realise that they're all retarded, and that all concerned parties would act in exactly the same manner if situations were reversed in whatever bullshit 24 hour news cycle story all the normies are "I literally can't even"ing over right now.
The most important knowledge you have is the knowledge that nothing ever happens. Most people still watch the shadow puppets dance, convinced it's reality, and it affects their mental health and their portfolios. You don't, and that's why you're gmi.

Yes OP. I used to browse /pol/ and whine about the jews

Then I bought link and made a modest return. Now I'm addicted. I just want to make one more 5x, and leave America, and the politics behind. I just want to move to Siem Reap and open a burger and beer joint.

I actually used to be on here quite a bit in 2016 and the 2017 bull run, you guys convinced me to buy ETH and LTC. Sadly I missed out on chainlink due to switching to /pol/. Started spending all my time there especially during the nigger riots over the summer, then the tranny shills were all over the board after Biden won. Now I’m on here again all day which I prefer tbqh. Much better for my mental health.

The 2016 election was awesome fun for the time, but after that I had to stop giving a shit about politics otherwise I'd be some lunatic screeching in the streets right now. America is a banana republic now and is more communist than even outright communist regimes are. It's populace doesn't even deserve to be saved from itself. It needs to suffer a decline, and shadenfreude is what I have to look forward to once all the people I despise get what's coming to them.

lmao, the checks were nothing compared to the money being thrown around, the first stimulus printed enough money to give everyone $30,000, instead they got $1,200 and the rest went to banks and businesses, really shows you how much the actual people matter.

I literally don't give a shit anymore. It's not worth saving. Our government is stacked full of sociopaths and psychopaths, and the masses who put them into office are voted in by literal brainlets who are manipulated by emotional issues like "muh LGBT" and "muh black lives matter". Meanwhile the politicians denounce communism while simultaneously raping us for taxes even harder than China does it's citizens. And we get nothing in return for it. No healthcare, a ponzi scheme of a social security system, endless wars for others' interest, an unprotected southern border, schools that are overfunded and underperforming, and state-funded anti-white institutional racism.

As long as I make it with crypto, America can eat shit and die. It's no longer our grandparent's America.

Political economy is the study of production and trade and their relations with law, custom and government; and with the distribution of national income and wealth.
