I was thinking about some kind of #bitcoin elevator pitch. Something you'd say to someone that would maybe not magically oranged pilled them in 30 seconds but rather planted a seed of curiosity in their brains.
I think that the fundamental orange pilling factor is to an extent understanding of bitcoin but more importantly understanding how dysfunctional and destructive fiat is.
The key aspect in my opinion is showing sides of fiat that almost everyone would dislike.
Such as: "All wars in over 100 years were financed mostly with inflation which is enabled by centrally controlled fiat currencies. Bitcoin provides money which cannot be inflated or stolen by governments, effectively making wars extremely difficult to finance."
Do you guys have any ideas on your bitcoin elevator pitches?
Please drop them bellow or even boost this post. I'm curious what people will come up with and I will try to distill it into some ultimate bitcoin elevator pitches. ๐๐
Do you know that kind of advices which you deep down realize, already know it in a sense that it's so obvious...but still need to hear it out loud to fully realize it, take it to heart and act upon it?
Like to take few days every week to be alone or just without any plans whatsoever to have time to think to actually come up with good ideas.
Like I knew that I like aloneness and that I need it from time to time. But hearing it out loud completely changed my perspective on the time when one is truly alone or completely without any plans. And it helps to not feel like you're wasting your time or missing out on something too.
Hypothetical: If you rob a Czech bank and take a bag filled with 2000 Czech crown notes. (Around 93$ - Second largest denomination which can be kind of easily disposed without getting suspicious looks)
And I would want to take at least $5M so that I can live a good rest of my life.
The bag would weigh 54kg.
Kinda heavy bag, maybe consider going there with a backpack with good waist belt... ๐ค๐
But it's still easier than to steal cold storage #bitcoin.

#Bitcoin vs #Nostr (Please bear with me ๐)
I'm very confident that bitcoin will succeed in a long run thanks to its incentive model which motivates miners, node operators as well as users. And so far it works perfectly.
Nostr is quite new - being created in late 2020 and more actively used last 6,7 months or so. I'm thinking about the incentives for relay operators and if it is feasible to achieve wider adoption while maintaining its independence and speed. I'm not sure paid relays are the way - or rather - will it be sufficient motivation if there will be natural tendencies to flock towards super big relays hosted in AWS or Azure because of convenience, speed, utility and price?
On the other hand #bitcoin had many issues back in 2011 as well and people much smarter than me came up with brilliant solutions or even explained to me that what I see as problem actually is a feature.
I'm just thinking out loud. Waiting to get educated. Hoping to get educated! ๐
Have a purple day everyone! ๐
S&P500 has average interest rate of 10.05% in the last 20 years.
Price of 70 square meters flat in my hometown in 2003 was around $25,000.
If you took that money and put it into S&P500, kept it there for 20 years, compounded the interest and reinvested dividends, you'd get to $170,000.
But the price of the same flat is $184,000 these days.
And let's not stop at prices of real estate which went up more than 7x.
Bakery got up 6x.
220g of quality chocolate for $1.38 turned into 180g of shitty sugary sludge for $4.37.
(Shrinkflation and shitflation at its finest)
I'm sorry but S&P500 just helps us track real inflation and it maybe conserves your purchasing power. It won't make you rich or let you go to retirement in your 40s.
#bitcoin is the way. We're living in unprecedented time where understanding of bitcoin and its magnitude is widely misunderstood. The most asymmetric bet you'll probably witness in your short lifetimes...

And here's a link for one of my fav songs this reminded me of. If you don't know Stephen Lynch, give it a try.
#coffeechain #bitcoin
#bitcoin changed:
- My understanding of money & time
- My diet
- My spending habits
- World view altogether
#bitcoin gave me
- Girlfriend
- New friends
- Focus on something truly important
- Better understanding of history
And so much, much more.
It can go to zero now.
