“I think the internet is going to be one of the major forces for reducing the role of government. The one thing that’s missing but that will soon be developed, is a reliable e-cash.” - Milton Friedman in 1990

A system that relies on theft, coercion and control, requires fear to keep you inside it. Jeff Booth

the FBI calls crypto money so they can arrest you for money laundering the IRS calls it property so they can tax you on capital gains the SEC calls it a security so they can sue every exchange the CFTC calls it a commodity so you can’t use it as a currency

Who will create your nostr account? Not a 3rd party, but math. Who ensures data integrity? Not a 3rd party, but cryptography. Who stores your data? Not a 3rd party, but multiple parties, or yourself. Who can delete your account? Nobody, not even yourself. Who can delete your data? Nobody, not even yourself.

"In most people’s minds, inflation is somehow a natural phenomenon that we can’t do anything about. In reality, an elite class is stealing everyone else’s time at an unimaginable scale." -Knut Svanholm

The government is literally stealing your life with taxes and fiat monetary inflation… As a conservative example: You start working at 20. You work until you’re 65. You pay +/- 33% of your income in taxes. The government takes 1/3 of your working life… They have stolen **15 YEARS** of your time, energy, and work. And for what? For roads? (LOLOLOL) For a broken education system? For a medical system that wants to keep you sick and medicated? For the military industrial complex which gets rich off foreign forever wars you never agreed to? And while they are stealing 1/3 of your life, they are PRINTING MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR, stealing MORE of your time/energy/life force through the destruction of your purchasing power. The taxes you pay don’t even fund the government; an ever-growing pile of national debt does, fueled by money created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve System. The dollars in your bank account are worth less and less every year, as your purchasing power is systematically destroyed. I am grateful #Bitcoin exists so I can opt out of this nonsense and save the value of my time and energy. Anyway, have a beautiful day.

Owning a #bitcoin ETF is like saying you have a girlfriend, but she lives in BlackRock's apartment and BlackRock sends you a picture of her every quarter.
