Renting is smart:

–> note the problem with owning property. Your property value goes up, but unless the value of it is going up 25% year over year, you’re just stagnant at best? Probably bleeding and losing money.

I think the truly transformative thing about Bitcoin is the notion of fractional ownership … (.3 of a Bitcoin)

The hard thing — we always think in round numbers? 1 Ferrari, $1M, 1 hundred dollar bill, one $1 dollar bill, one good — in material goods. Or 1 ounce of gold, or one bar of gold. Or one property, one house, one property. In individual bedrooms. We can have 1, 2, or 3 bedrooms … not .7 bedrooms or 1.3 bedrooms.

We have a hard time thinking in fractions.

Overnight… our money is now worth 25% less?

25% inflation?

$16 to $20… what percentage inflation

To find the percentage increase from $16 to $20, you can use the formula for percentage change:

[
\text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{\text{New Value} – \text{Original Value}}{\text{Original Value}} \right) \times 100\%
]

Substituting the values:

[
\text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{20 – 16}{16} \right) \times 100\% = \left( \frac{4}{16} \right) \times 100\% = 0.25 \times 100\% = 25\%
]

So, the inflation from $16 to $20 is 25%.
