All currencies lose their store of value due to inflation and taxes, which come from central banks printing currency. Bitcoin protects your store of value because no bank, government, or company can create more of it. Keep sinking in the fiat water or grab the Bitcoin life raft. #Bitcoin #Nostr #Freedom

I don’t know who needs to hear this but… You can buy international flights (1 way) for less than $100-$150. International travel isn’t expensive, you just need to know where to look and how to book. Learn to save on travel👇: shorturl.at/CK2Pt #travel #international #vacation #europe

Every currency is losing purchasing power by the second. It doesn’t matter which country you live in, we all are forced to use their Monopoly money in a game they don’t play. Some currencies lose value quicker than others, but they all head to worthless in purchasing terms. #Bitcoin #Freedom #Nostr

If you’re looking for something short and good to read, check out this paper “Design of a Secure Timestamping Service with Minimal Trust Requirements” by Henri Massias, Jean-Jacques Quisquater, and Xavier Serret-Avila written in 1999 which is similar to blockchain technology we have today. Always cool to take a look in the past and see these minds at work.

If you’re looking for a good read, check out “B-Money” by Wei Dai. It was a similar concept to what we have with #Bitcoin today. He wrote the paper in 1998 and Satoshi Nakamoto reached out to him in 2008 so he could cite Dai’s work. It’s cool to read the work of those individuals who were looking for an escape before we were blessed with the gift of Bitcoin. #article #nostr #bookstr #read #education #history #economics

By 2008 outlays of the federal government were 1/4 the nation’s economy, nearly twice as many people now work for government than for manufacturing companies in the private sector. There are more bank regulators than bankers, more farm bureau workers than farmers, more welfare administrators than recipients, more citizens receive government checks than those who pay income taxes. By 1996 welfare benefits in 29 states were higher than the average secretary’s wage, and in 6 states they were more than the entry level wage for computer programmers. When people can vote for the transfer of wealth to themselves, the ballot box becomes a weapon by which the majority plunders the minority. That is the point of no return. The point where the doomsday mechanism begins to accelerate until the system self destructs. -G. Edward Griffin “The Creature From Jekyll Island” #bookstr #read #book #bitcoin

Daniel Mross from the #documentary “The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin” is a prime example of put in the research, put in the work, block out the noise, and get out of Bitcoins way. Keep doing your research, keep putting in the work, stack #SATS, and stay out the way ⚡️

Have you ever read “Anthem” by Ayn Rand? It’s a dystopian novella set in a future collectivist society where individuality is completely suppressed, and people live solely for the group, using "we" instead of "I." The protagonist, Equality 7-2521, is a curious and intelligent young man who secretly rediscovers electricity and creates a light bulb, but his invention is rejected by the authorities for being an independent achievement. Fleeing into the Uncharted Forest, he discovers the concept of individuality and renames himself "Prometheus," embracing the forbidden word "I." The story concludes with his resolve to build a new society founded on individual freedom and self-expression, rejecting the oppressive collectivism of his former world. I would say "Anthem" and Bitcoin have the same vibe. Both are all about breaking free from the herd and sticking it to the system. Just like Equality 7-2521 fights to reclaim his freedom in a world that crushes individuality, Bitcoin gives people the power to control their own money without the need for banks or governments telling them what to do. It’s about autonomy, shaking off the chains of centralized control, and carving out space where you make the rules. Both challenge the status quo, pushing for a world where personal freedom actually means something. Give it a read when you have the chance, here’s the link:

Interest rates are slowly climbing back up and home prices keep rising. The S&P Case-Shiller index hit a record in June 2024, showing a 5.4% annual rise. Tight supply and heavy demand are driving the market, no sign of a slowdown yet. #realestate #housing #economy

Check out this great article by Tuur Demeester “The Bitcoin Reformation” which draws a parallel between the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century and the rise of Bitcoin in the 21st century.
