There are 4 types of wealth: 1. Financial wealth (money) 2. Social wealth (status) 3. Time wealth (freedom) 4. Physical wealth (health) Bitcoin is for 1 & 3. NOSTR helps with 2 (and maybe 1 in the future). But you need to be lifting weights and eating healthy for 4. No way around it.

Always find it funny when people talk about toxic Bitcoin Maximalism Bitcoin’s primary culture is proof of work. Taking the burden of responsibility. Thinking for yourself and standing up for what you believe in. Only in this fiat timeline are these undesirable traits.

Bitcoin and nostr adoption happens because of the minority rule. All it takes is a small number of intolerant virtuous people with skin in the game, in the form of courage, for society to function properly.

I admit that sometimes I find it difficult too, but nevertheless, we should be nice to shitcoiners. The act itself is its own punishment.

There are billions of people chasing a target that's moving away faster than they can run. Sacrificing their time, energy and health for the privilege of owning a money that bankers replicate in a second with a keystroke. This is the scandal of our lifetimes. We need Bitcoin

Bitcoin is an indestructible digital element with absolute mathematical scarcity. There's nothing else like it in the known universe. It's wildly under appreciated just how special this is. image

There are no intelligent critiques of #Bitcoin's energy use. But there are intelligent actors making the critique. image

Gotta feel for the people who've pre-emptively banned themselves from Bitcoin just in case there are rule changes in the future.

Web3 *MAY* have a future, yes I know: -DeFi turned out to be a Ponzi -NFTs were 95% wash trading & 5% speculation -NOSTR proves you dont need a token to be decentralised -They're illegal securities -Bitcoin makes them all redundant So yeah, Web3 definitely isn’t gonna happen

There are people that own more Bitcoin than you. No matter how much they own: - They can’t create more - They can’t prevent your access - They can’t steal what you have and - They can’t change the rules.

The people who are 'concerned about Bitcoin’s energy usage' are smack bang in the middle of the venn diagram of people: 1) Who don’t understand Bitcoin; 2) Who don’t know what stranded energy is, 3) Who let the media think for them.

You can't control your initial trajectory (when did you discover Bitcoin, how old were you, how much wealth did you already have). But it’s not too late to take control of your current trajectory (Educate yourself, save, be patient). Your best effort will be enough.

You say the future is every company has their own crypto. But If I say the future is every person speaks their own language; you call me a moron. What gives?
