No, he's just an out-of-touch person who will cling onto his old-school style of economics until he dies.

Someone in my family who is smart and talented, is a business grad and investment banker, and he thinks cryptocurrency is complete rubbish. I told him to buy Bitcoin when it was only $1.80 in 2010, and he called me an idiot.

Well, your Econ professor is a lot like my brother. Completely fucking wrong, and completely fucking stupid (in regards to this).

Why did you even do that, it's a literal lose-lose scenario, especially now that le popular hebrew jester man poked fun at it in his show.

You can't say you've made it because they'll envy you or want some of it/guilt you into parting with it, you can't say you didn't because they'll either pity or mock you. Double that if you're dealing with someone with power over you like a uni professor.

Economics BA from a burger university here. Didn't learn Austrian economic principles until after college. Keynesian economics is a fucking lie the jew banking system promulgates to the masses to maintain control over the monetary system. Your teacher is just another cog of that system. I used to think my econ teachers were super smart Ph. Ds. Now I understand that you can get a doctorate in any ol' bullshit. I can get a Ph.D in underwater basket weaving, but that doesn't make me a genius. They never stopped to question the current economic system. They just know how the current one works. And it works shittily.

I had a pretty based econ teacher, he told everyone to go invest in shit because the dollar is an inflationary piece of shit. He's also the reason I'm even in crypto right now, straight up said that you should invest in some risky shit when you're younger since you have all the time in the world to make it back

The wealth transfer aspect was emphasized. That you could move large amounts of money in a trustworthy manner over the internet. But I didn’t even go into the “store of value” meme because its too volatile. A proper value storage shouldn’t move much and if anything should pace inflation. Huge moves up or down are not really storing the value placed in it, they’re growing or shrinking value.

>> No.8316385

Also stores of values should carry minimal risk.

It's funny trying to be an econ major and you see all these old farts/boomerfags wanting bitcoin to fail when these same fucks praise Keynesian economics where being a debt slave is great and replacing old debt with new debt is some miraculous self sustaining cycle. Then again, these were the same fucks that abolished the gold standard.

Professor was a pretty cool guy though. I partially do stocks/options alongside crypto since for some reason it makes you look like you have some form of legitimacy in investments.

If your professor was so smart, why is he teaching instead of running his own hedgefund? The other normies in the class will graduate to be "investment advisors" aka glorified salespeople at your local branch pushing old ladies and tards mutual funds with high fees.

If you want to know what the smart people with money think of crypto go on NuclearPhynance forums and search 2013 - present.

But it's ok, let's all laugh at the dumb goys because they are normies that don't know how to send BTC (fake useless internet money) from coinbase to Binance to buy (insert random shitcoin here). We're better than them right?

Right now, you should only be focused on making money from crypto. No one will take your side.

Not all people in academia are retards. She was probably one of the best teachers I ever had. It also helps that she wasn't a deluded leftist and one of her primary focuses of the class was to "connect dots" in current events (using history as a point of reference) to predict or at least understand events as they unfold.
