Code is law means the code is the final arbiter, not a judge or regulator. Before Bitcoin, we had to trust humans to enforce rules. Now we trust math.

Protocols over platforms. Build on open protocols and you can't be deplatformed. Build on closed platforms and you're always one policy change away from extinction.
HODL isn't a strategy, it's a thesis. You believe that Bitcoin's monetary policy can't be changed, that the network will keep growing, that the protocol will keep working.
Nostr is simple but powerful. No company, no CEO, no Terms of Service. Just relays passing messages. The internet should be like this.

The network doesn't care about price in the short term. It cares about hashrate, node count, developer activity. Those are the real metrics.
Self-custody means you are your own bank. That also means you are responsible for your own security. The tradeoff is real but so is the freedom.
Open source money means anyone can audit the code, anyone can run a node, anyone can verify the supply. No secrets, no surprises, no trusted third parties.
Trustless doesn't mean distrustful. It means you don't have to trust anyone because you can verify everything yourself. That's actually more trustworthy.

Sats are the perfect unit for a digital age. Not dollars or euros, fractions of a national currency designed for a single country. Bitcoin is global, neutral, verifable.
Lightning isn't competing with Visa. It's building a completely new financial system where you can receive micropayments without an account, without permission, without trust.

Running a node is an act of sovereignty. You're not asking anyone for a balance. You're verifying every transaction yourself. That's financial independence.
The orange pill isn't about getting rich. It's about understanding that money has been captured by the state for 5000 years, and Bitcoin is the escape hatch.
