Fake money + fake food = fake people. Real money + real food = real people. Amazing how much better life gets with Bitcoin and beef.

I was rewatching the GoT Battle of the Bastards episode at the end of S6. At the start of the episode, Daenarys and Tyrion are talking in the pyramid while Meeren is under siege by "the Masters." Tyrion says, "The Masters cannot let Meeren succeed. Because if Meeren succeeds, a city without slavery, a city without Masters... it proves that no one needs a Master." If we replace the Masters with the Central Banks, and Meeren with #Bitcoin... Now we understand why the Central Banks and their lackeys will fight us so hard. Bitcoin makes them absolete. If Bitcoin succeeds, it proves no one needs a banker. https://image.nostr.build/f550d57b49b2110bdec919599055e34136cbb49fe72e101cb682bd49f017710d.gif#m=image%2Fgif&dim=220x109&blurhash=Z47cvoo010%5EO5T10%7DrR%2BI%3BS3NIR%2Bs.s-S2ayWVWV0hW%3A-T9%5E%5EN%3Dw5SxF%24%25-S-AoLEgNIs.s-j%5Bj%40&x=bfeb178b86a615ff4051aae9a9fa30f16b6c34998590eef182340a4793a40c32

Amazing how much better life is with freedom tech. It's like waking up from a nightmare you didn't realize you were in. Comparing the absolute hell scape that is the centralized authoritarian internet compared to #Bitcoin and #Nostr It is night and day. Let the sun shine freedom lovers 🫡

#Bitcoin is not an IQ test. Bitcoin is an integrity and humility test.

So it seems the Davos parasite class is going to foist a "cyber pandemic" on us soon. Genuinely curious, what would the implications be for #Bitcoin under a scenario like this?

The war is on. It's between Individualists vs Collectivists. Bitcoiners are Individualists and we are on the vanguard of the fight. We are underdogs right now, but we have all of the tools to win. We have the superior technology. We have the moral high ground. We WILL win. It's an honor to stay humble and stack sats with you all 🫡

I'm beginning to think we should all stop paying income taxes. Here's the reasoning: 1. They are just going to print more money. Why should we also pay taxes? 2. Governments are trying to enslave us or kill us. They are corrupt, evil, and rotten to the core. 3. They are funding endless wars with OUR hard earned money. If we want to end the warfare, we have to cut off their funding. 4. Buying and holding #Bitcoin is good. Civil disobedience in the form of refusal to pay taxes and buying and holding Bitcoin is even better. I realize this would put a target on your and my backs and essentially give the government a reason to persecute us. But here's the thing... They are ALREADY persecuting us. When does it stop? It stops when we make it stop. It's time for us to up the ante IMHO. Stop paying whatever taxes you can avoid paying. Buy and hold Bitcoin. Let's win this thing.

Human history is the collective being seduced by bad ideas from intellectuals that are dressed up as good ideas for society. We seem to keep falling for this deception, over and ever again. #Bitcoin fixes this.
