The functions and qualities of money are two different things. The problems with the world today is the fact the fact that we've lost both. To end Bitcoin exists: Bitcoin is the solution, the best.

Great podcast!
But thank God Bitcoin is now not fully controlled by investors only. Being a bitcoin investor and at the same time a Bitcoin developer is above all the greatest. If you own any bitcoin, why should you not care to study the open source code and seek to contribute to it? At least it's your life savings, right?
The whole point for me is: Bitcoin is for everyone. We don't need investors making the decisions while the rest of us follow, just like they do in the mainstream. There is more to Bitcoin than meets the eye.
Beauty lies in human ingenuity. Artificial intelligence can't compare.
If I cannot mine, I will definitely study the codebase. Just trying to be more technical now because what lies ahead in the coming years is going to be interesting.

Yes, Bitcoin is real and hope, yet, a leap of faith is required to opt out of the fiat system into the Bitcoin world. And, that same faith is required for sustenance in the Bitcoin world.
Bitcoin is a solution to the problem. All we have to do is implement it, because there is no better solution than Bitcoin. It's a total waste of time and energy focusing on the fear-mongering problem (fiat). Bitcoin is both a defensive as well as offensive technology, if you pay attention to it. Any threat from the State is a sign of fear and weakness. Bitcoin is unstoppable and the State knows it better.

“O! Ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose not only tyranny but the tyrant, stand forth! Every spot of the old world is overrun with oppression. Freedom hath been hunted around the globe. Asia and Africa have long expelled her. Europe regards her as a stranger, and England hath given her warning to depart. O! receive the fugitive, and prepare in time an asylum for mankind.”

Bitcoin is a gift from Satoshi Nakamoto to me.

"The national currencies are affected by forces which are beyond your knowledge or control. They are managed by committees serving the governments issuing them. The people on these committees speak in a jargon that is not only incomprehensible to most people, but unbearably dull even to those who do understand it. Everyone is affected by them, but most people will not bother to learn to understand them. They manage the currency in the national interest, which is not always the same thing as your interest. They can change the rules about how the currency can be spent you can use them or increase the government’s supply. [5] It is usually not possible to predict what they will do, at least over long time spans."

BITCOIN FOREVER.
In Nigeria🇳🇬, especially in the hardcore North, life is "amazing." But don't get me wrong, though. When I say "amazing", actually I'm referring to severe poverty and pain and hopelessness:
✓ Hyperinflation
✓ Severe hunger
✓ Insecurity (kidnappings, banditry, etc)
✓ Total electricity blackout
✓ Decayed healthcare system
✓ Decayed educational system
✓ e.t.c.
Nigeria has been gradually plunging into the "dark ages." There is simply no country here: just survival of the fittest and jungle justice.
I totally agree with anyone who thinks that Bitcoin has been "hijacked." Yes, it is true. If it hadn't been hijacked from the shitcoiners, it would have become like Bitcoin Cash or Ethereum or any of the other shitcoins. Thanks to those pirates called Bitcoin Maximalists for "hijacking" bitcoin and making it accessible to the over 7 billion citizens of the world. And, yes, I indeed have embraced that Bitcoin Maximalist badge of honor. Moving forward, I die on this hill.

It is becoming increasingly impossible to trust doctors ever since the Covid Pandemic was unleashed on innocent human beings. Doctors were thought to "Do No Harm" professionals, but now money (fiat) has turned almost all of them into monsters.
Of course there are Reminants who did not, and may never, bow down to the fiat god. There will always be the Reminants, no matter how few.
If I ever get to meet Roger Ver in person, and if bitcoin still remains "decentralized and secure", I will ask him this question, why is bitcoin performing better than Bitcoin Cash and all the shitcoins that came after it?
