I have stopped watching Eco doom posters and just invested and focused on my life.

Never been happier.

These guys spam bear content and eventually when shit crashes they "got it right" but then 2 weeks later the federal reserve starts QE and then everything goes up again and makes new ATH's

>>60533324 (OP)

No shit dude. These grifters make money off of doomposting.

Same as all of the tech faggots that are constantly bitching about every new Nvidia, AMD, or Intel product that comes out. Or bitching about every new video game or gaming console. The current hype is bitching about the Switch 2 even though it's only been out for like a month and bitching about $80 games because everyone is a poorfag retard. Games have been $60 for the last 25 years, but now a $20 bump is somehow bankrupting tech geeks. Go work an extra hour at your job retard, congratulations, you just bought your new game.

The entire internet makes money off of doomposting and ragebaiting.

the prices of games ive never understood

back in the 1990s i remember buying N64 games for like $150 AUD, EACH

now a video game is like $100 AUD

>>60533358

Exactly. People bitching about video game prices really have no clue. They're just whiney bitches at the end of the day.

N64 games were $60 in the 90s.
PS1/Xbox games were $60 in the 00s.
PS2/Xbox 360 games were $60.
PS3&4/Xbox One games were $60.
Nintendo Switch games were $60.

Oh no, after 30 years they increased their prices by $20!!! It's not like we've had inflation, wage increases, logistical issues since Covid, etc.

And like I said, do 1 hour of overtime at your job and wallah, you can afford your video game.

Eco doom posters got me into Bitcoin early. Truth is they are all right. But what they don’t get is people will just boil like frogs. There won’t be any great reset Mad max senario.

>>60533358
The price of video games are the same or lower no due to the magic of volume, there are literally billions of more gamers now than in the 90s

>>60533398

Yes, that doesn't change the fact that prices and wages have gone up.

>>60533324 (OP)
How is it even doom when bitcoin goes up due to this? Did you seriously watch years of this shit and not accumulate?? You are supposed to act on the information you learn not be a lazy tard.

>>60533358
/biz/ gets the weirdest shills insisting the strangest narratives, catalogs exists..

>>60533513
I said AUD, that is USD prices on an American magazine

I got the Nintendo 64 on Launch. I remember specifically paying $125 Australian Dollars for Mario Kart 64

>>60533595
lol fuck I didn't realise americans had toys r us
I don't remember it being that much but not I doubt myself..

How old are you?

Just stop caring and don't buy shit from greedy cunts. They just want to please investors instead of taking the hit.

Can't please investors if you don't exist. Haven't bought kebab in 6 months. My friends have stopped too.

Beer at the brewery is cheaper than the pubs.

>>60533612
That's none of your business young man. My dick is 12 inches though.

>>60533374
and now factor in how little costs were associated with those early games, teams were tiny marketing cheap
then look at todays bloated studios and retard tier marketing budgets
but regardless if expressed as dollar per hour of entertainment provide games are still the single best choice by a very wide margin
compare that to say a movie at the theater lol

>>60533626
Agree

The important takeaway is that yes, growth has been illusory and ultimately QE is unsustainable, but the music will stop almost all at once, so do your best to have your ducks in order if there's massive collapse and unrest.

>>60533677
How is it an illusion? My parents bought a McMansion for $80k in the 1990s that worth nearly $3 million dollars today

They bought that house on my dads income, while my mom was a stay at home wife, with 3 kids, and my dad worked in HVAC installation blue collar job

A childless married couple who are Doctors would struggle to buy my parents house today.

>>60533677
>ultimately QE is unsustainable
but that eventually can be a very long way of
as i have said here several times look at argentina and turkey for how long they managed to go along with it
all fiat currencies are valued against each other, and without another large industrial power that has a hard currency to appreciate against the rest this clownworld will continue
here is one example: do rent control or exorbitant taxes on third and up properties and the biggest issue of escalating housing costs is fixed and you can keep this up for a good long while

My favorite thing about the Switch 2, the main complaint is that it's not "innovative" enough and that it's basically just an upgraded Switch 1. You mean like every new Xbox, Playstation and PC? It's so stupid. Just don't buy it than if it triggers you THAT badly.

>Mario Kart World isn't good enough!!! It's trash WAAHHHHHHHH!!!!
Then go play Mario Kart Deluxe on the Switch 1. Wtf is wrong with these people?

>>60533705
gold is the hard currency. gold is real money. always has been.

>>60533324 (OP)
your loss
you'll mist out

>>60533824
missing the point, its about a currency mixed with an industrial power
if some large country starts paying their factory workers in gold than its a currency, as it stands its an investment asset
unfortunately every country agrees the fiat scam is just too good to give up

>PS1/Xbox games were $60 in the 00s.
>PS2/Xbox 360 games were $60.

Absolute bullshit. PS2 and Xbox games were $50 back in the early 00's. Video games for the PS3 and Xbox360 didn't become $60 until about 2008 through 2010 or so. Also the fact that you group PS1 and Xbox together, and PS2 and Xbox 360 together, tells me you have no clue at all wtf you are taking about when it comes to video games either- Xbox wasn't even around when PS1 was out in the 90's, completely different generation of systems. KYS inflation paypig shill.

>>60533894
what i mean is, in real terms the entire world is getting poorer. which was (((their))) goal all along.

the end goal is the justification for UBI in conjunction with a great reset and centralisation of power. "late stage capitalism" will get the blame.

>>60533914
This, don't know about Ameribucks but my mum bought Battlefront II for £25 on release week from Tesco. I remember saving up for Spore and it was about £34-37. I don't remember seeing £60 games until the late PS3 era. Also things are digital now and back then Publishers refused to use Steam so everything went into their bank accounts.

>>60533358
>>60533374
back to you confinement board

>>60533374
Yeah when your supply is limited you can charge more, genius. When all you have on the market is 10 NES games, each one can cost 60 bucks. When you have 500 NES games and 97234 other games, each NES game costs nothing

>>60533358
try thinking about it. distribution is digital now and much more massive than in the 90s. computer technology in general is much cheaper too.

It is easy to get stuck in a loop, especially if you use youtube and keep clicking on related vids. Crazy how your life can spiral out of control if you just watch one doomer vid, and then another, and then another. Or even worse, you watch one gambling vid, then another, etc. You see where I'm going with this? Monkey see, monkey do. If you want to be healthy and relaxed, stop consuming content that makes you anxious, and look up stuff that makes you relaxed and promotes exercise, wellbeing, etc.

>>60533358
Games subsidized by micro transactions and subscriptions now


Also everything tech is way cheaper than in the 90’s. Hardware used to be expensive as fuck, $2k in 1990’s dollars (so like $5k now) got you a shit tier entry level PC

>>60533374
>, wage increases,
Youve had wage increases?

>>60533358
and you haven't noticed the sharp drop in quality?
