The banks are Blockbuster. Bitcoin is Netflix. The banks are Borders. Bitcoin is Amazon. The banks are Yellow cabs. Bitcoin is Uber. #Bitcoin is dematerializing the banks.

Hal Finney writing in 1993, envisioning #Bitcoin & #Nostr "We are on a path today which, if nothing changes, will lead to a world with the potential for greater government power, intrusion, and control. We can change this; these [digital cash] technologies can revolutionize the relationship between individuals and organizations, putting them both on equal footing for the first time. Cryptography can make possible a world in which people have control over information about themselves, not because government has granted them that control, but because only they possess the cryptographic keys to reveal that information." Source: The Genisis Book by Aaron Van Wirdum (which I highly recommend btw)

#asknostr Would you ever participate in crowdfunding a small business through zaps? It occurred to me that we could all help pitch in to help our fellow freedom tech lovers build their dreams...

There may come a time where we are morally obligated to stop paying taxes and participating in elections. American taxpayer dollars are funding wars all over the world. The evil parasitic American government is spearheading and embellishing them. At what point do we collectively say "no more?"

Why would we abide by laws that are made by criminals? Why would we pay taxes when they can just print money to fund the government? Why would we vote in elections if our representatives never vote in our best interests? It's well past time to opt out with #Bitcoin

Good morning. We're going to end the lawless fiat fuckery of "the elites" and reclaim our sovereignty.

I believe #Bitcoin was created as a weapon to destroy the global central banking cartel. This is why we #Bitcoin.

GM Nostr. I highly recommend this interview with David Rogers Webb as well as his book, "The Great Taking."

Is it too much to ask that the world not be run by liars, thieves, murderers, and paedophiles?

The most important lesson I've learned during my #Bitcoin journey so far is: Don't trust. Verify. Don't take people at face value. Don't trust what they say, watch what they do. Before going down the rabbit hole, I was naive and too quick to trust. As "educated" as I was, I didn't flex my critical thinking skills enough. Now I (at least try to) take everything with a grain of salt. Take in information, but try to withhold judgement until more time passes and more information comes in to confirm or deny my thesis. What's been the most important lesson for you during this wild ride? https://image.nostr.build/d4d22deafc3cec322df37976f1c23b70acccb8e49c18cddf279a0cec525c63a4.gif#m=image%2Fgif&dim=220x175&blurhash=%23J2tY%2CkDVUV%40aHobVrahfhf8a%23kCj%40fPjsaeazj%5BQkadp1kWkYaikXk9j%5Dj%3Fj%3DaeahaybIo%23k9afaekDbIaej%5Baxj%3Fa%23aeaea%7Efij%3DkDaxaKa%24kBpfayaHfRackBaKa%23kB&x=1f8a36367834bd9780db25baf583085b7b6e1b36db84997fea678e3fc5b9edd4

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