Before: I assumed Bitcoin was mainly for small, personal transactions. After learning about Hal Finney's 2010 prediction, "Bitcoin will be the high-powered money that serves as a reserve currency for banks... Most Bitcoin tx's will occur between banks," it clicked. Bitcoin's potential as a backbone for large-scale financial operations, not just individual spending, reshaped my view. Have you considered Bitcoin's role beyond personal use? @jb55

Transform your grind into gold: Why scarcity and durability matter in assets 🧵 To thrive, shift work into assets that are rare, wanted, easy to carry, long-lasting, and easy to keep up. Think of creating or investing in something that not only holds its value but potentially increases over time due to its scarcity and desirability. Assets that are portable allow you to move freely, adapting to changes in the market or personal circumstances. Durability ensures that your asset won't just vanish or degrade, protecting your hard work. Lastly, maintainability means you can keep your asset in top condition without excessive costs or effort, ensuring it continues to provide value. Which tip was best? Save this post. @Tomer Strolight image

I once trusted digital cash without questioning. Realized CBDCs could lead to surveillance and control over spending. Learned the value of privacy. How do you feel about the balance between convenience and privacy? @boston wine

Before, I believed our financial system was stable and fair. Then, I learned how money is created by a few, leading to inflation and wealth inequality. Now, I see the importance of a decentralized currency like Bitcoin, offering control and transparency. Have you realized the power behind understanding our financial system and the revolutionary potential of Bitcoin? Follow WhatBitcoinTaughtMe to LEARN. @NVK 🌞⚡️

Years ago, in my early Bitcoin days, I underestimated its complexity. Thought of it just as digital cash. Ignored its depth - a blend of money, time, energy, and information. My narrow view almost cost me a significant investment. This journey taught me Bitcoin's multifaceted nature. How do you see Bitcoin's essence beyond just money? @Club Orange

Before, I believed Bitcoin needed a sales pitch. The recent study shows 72% of buyers prefer to explore Bitcoin on their own, without a sales rep. This insight reveals a desire for self-driven discovery over being sold to. Now, I see the power in guiding curiosity rather than pushing persuasion. Have you considered exploring Bitcoin at your own pace? @BTC Sessions image

"Over 90% of money laundering crimes go undetected with traditional banking." This stat highlights how the current financial system's opacity is a playground for illicit activities. Bitcoin, with its transparent blockchain, makes tracking transactions easier for law enforcement, offering a pseudo-anonymous yet open ledger. It's not perfect, but it's a step towards accountability. Do you agree? @Swan Bitcoin image
