Being a Bitcoiner is bittersweet. As it's fiat price continues to rise, it means that my personal savings continue to rise. My future keeps getting brighter. At the same time, it means that almost all of my loved ones savings continue to deteriorate. Perhaps I haven't tried hard enough, but I can't seem to get anyone close to me to see the light about fiat money vs. BTC. There are certain walls that go up when the topic arises. Or the typical propaganda talking points have been effective enough to close their minds. What a strange experience, seeing your thesis play out over the years, exactly as you foresaw, and yet everyone you care about thinks you're crazy. Being right about Bitcoin early has its hidden costs, and one of them is being misunderstood and isolated. #Bitcoin

The people at the top of the power structure in this world only respond to two things: - Force - Economic Power For the individual and family, they will never be able to compete on force. So the only choice is to use your economic power, if you want to achieve some level of freedom and autonomy in this life. #Bitcoin

They told us exactly what they're trying to do to us. "You will own nothing, and you will be happy." All we had to do was take them at their word. They want to make the whole world look like the USSR. I say we all tell them to go fuck themselves ๐Ÿ–•๐Ÿผ

There's absolutely nothing you can do or say to shake my #Bitcoin conviction. I'm riding this thing to $21 million per coin or $0. This is the hill I'm dying on. This is a spiritual war. A mission from God. You can't break me or shake me. But you can join me.

Self-sovereignty is an ideal worth striving for. It means that individuals are worthy and valuable in and of themselves. Each individual has a right to determine their life's path and purpose and no other group or individual can infringe upon that right. To me, #Bitcoin is a technology that enables self-sovereignty. It's remarkable what's possible when individuals, families, and businesses can self-custody a sound money that protects their wealth over time. This summer, our team @Sovreign is laser focused on helping people get started on their Bitcoin and self-sovereignty journey. We've developed an introductory offer that I am confident folks will find a lot of value in. If you believe in the ideal of self-sovereignty as well, now is the time to live it. Let's build the world we want to live in. Please share this opportunity with friends, family, or acquaintances who would benefit. Sovreign will help setup and seed their vault with 100,000 sats if they complete their setup by September 21! image

#Bitcoin will enforce a meritocracy whether the collectivists like it or not. That's because collectivism requires state theft and redistribution to work. When it's impossible to steal people's wealth, it's impossible to build a collectivist society.

#Nostr fam - my conversation with Brandon Karpeles @plebiANON just dropped and I would be grateful if you listened and shared. The only way I can describe it is that it's my testimony on why I'm doing what I'm doing in #Bitcoin. We went into the ethical and moral imperative that is Bitcoin adoption, and how it is a tool to help us build a Life Economy. Please enjoy and thank you for your support ๐Ÿ™

I finally understand what the DIE movement was about. We want a diverse, inclusive population (except for a small number of elites) to become equally poor.

I'm monitoring the situation and my read is that they're going to print more money. A lot more. #Bitcoin

It's been one insane war in the Middle East after another since 2001 while our quality of life deteriorates at home. We're sick of this shit.

For me, the best part about #Bitcoin is it's a great way to tell the homicidal maniacs who profit from war, death, and destruction to go fuck themselves.

I have a theory as to why the military machine has been absolutely psychotic this decade. Because #Bitcoin is here, and it's going to defund and defang the whole godforsaken thing.

I'm ashamed of the US Government's support and funding of the war in Ukraine. I'm ashamed of the US Government's support and funding of the war in Gaza. I'm ashamed of the US Government's support and funding of the potential war in Iran. I'm ashamed because I know my tax dollars are funding these wars. It goes against my wishes and my values, and yet our government continues to fund endless wars. The government has left us no choice but to opt out of their disgusting wars with #Bitcoin. You don't want to listen to the desires of your voters? We won't opt into using your bloody fiat money.

If you want everything to keep getting more expensive for the rest of your life, use the Dollar, the Euro, the Pound, the Yen, or any other fiat currency as money. If you want everything to keep getting less expensive for the rest of your life, use #Bitcoin as money. Inflation is not inevitable, and does not have to make your life harder. Bitcoin makes inflation of fiat currencies irrelevant.
