Once you understand that the world is using currency and not money, you realize the global financial system is a gargantuan game of Monopoly…and it’s designed to make 99% of us lose. image

From Bram Kanstein: Why Bitcoin matters and why I am focusing all my attention on it. Over the past few years, I've found myself slowly — and then all at once — focusing more of my time, energy, and thinking on Bitcoin. I wanted to take a moment to share the "why" behind that decision, because it's not just a tech fascination or an investment play. It's deeper. It's about time, value, agency, and the kind of future I want to build — for myself, and for those around me. In a recent podcast with @jakewoodhouseio, I unpacked a lot of this. You can watch it here: youtu.be/Q-PH1fqgELU Here's the core of what I shared: 🔍 Understanding the System Like many, I used to believe that saving money was the path to a secure future. But I came to realize the system we're in — one of endless currency debasement — is not designed to preserve value. In fact, it slowly erodes the fruits of our labor and sacrifices. When I truly understood that the money in your bank isn't really yours, that became a turning point. ⚡️ Bitcoin as a Choice Bitcoin offers an alternative. It's a money with rules, not rulers. It's scarce, predictable, and resistant to manipulation — which means it offers a radically different way to store the value of our time and effort. It's not just programmable money — it's truth-based value storage that's verifiable and free from control. 💡 Agency and Alignment For me, Bitcoin isn't just about price or technology. It's about agency — the ability to take control of your life, your time, and your energy. It helps align decision-making with long-term thinking. In a world full of noise and manipulation, Bitcoin gives you the space to think clearly about your future. I'm more intentional about the projects I support, the ideas I chase, and even how I parent. 🧠 A Philosophical Shift The deeper I go, the more I see Bitcoin not just as a financial revolution, but as a philosophical one. It challenges us to reevaluate what we build, why we build, and how we define progress. One of my favorite memes sums it up: "When are you going to sell?" — "Sell for what?" Once you really understand Bitcoin, your entire framework changes. This shift in perspective is why I started my own podcast, Bitcoin for Millennials, to help others think critically about their future too. If you want more context; in this recent podcast with @MrMPodcast I share Why Ignoring Bitcoin Now Is a Huge Mistake. youtu.be/I9LFjoJQkSg With appreciation 🙏 image

Once you see that what you thought was money (and what you spend a large part of your life working to earn) is actually not money but a token controlled by a cartel of bankers that is designed to lose value to your detriment and their benefit… …you can’t unsee it.

Instead of having to invest in stocks and bonds to try to stay ahead of prices going up at the grocery store and gas pump… …it’s easier just to hold your savings in hard money that is not controlled by governments, corporations, groups or individuals. image
