Bitcoin disarms all collectivist ideologies, which can only exist on a large scale through the ever increasing theft of the resources of the people which they are meant to serve. Without those resources to fuel the rent seekers, these ideologies will crumble.

Most of your "education" has been carefully designed narratives meant to keep you slaving away without questioning while the system perpetually consumes over 50% of your life energy through neverending compounding taxes and inflation, until you die. We are the souls being harvested in the pods in The Matrix, and the central banks and world governments are the machines.

Are you rearranging deck furniture on the Titanic, or are you buying #Bitcoin?

Your government banning Bitcoin would be bullish as hell for Bitcoin. It's the government telling you that they're playing their last card.

People say Bitcoin is too volatile, but they would like the massive gains in purchasing power they gain from it. But those huge gains wouldn't be possible unless it was extremely volatile.

It's a sobering thought to come to the realization that the entire foundation of your life was built on top of a giant ponzi scheme.

"Bitcoin will be adopted like gunpowder: if you don't own it, you'll be its victim." - Saifidean Ammous, The Bitcoin Standard This isn't actually meant to be in a violent sense. It's more like trying to operate and compete without a smartphone in a world where everyone has them. Eventually you must capitulate and adopt, or be left behind. Except with Bitcoin, the technology in play is the most important technology in your daily and financial life: your money.

You think Bitcoin is too risky, but the real risk is your currency going to zero against Bitcoin. image

“Bitcoin has no use case” is a narrative I’ve been hearing a lot lately in the legacy media, from talking heads who are most likely controlled by the banks. This position could only come from a place of extreme financial privilege. There are billions of unbanked people around the world with no access to the global financial markets, and thus no way to efficiently store the fruits of their labor. They cannot access the stock markets or real estate markets. Billions more may have some access, but are forced to use their own national fiat currencies, which may be inflating or hyperinflating in which case their savings are being devalued at an ever-increasing rate. This is caused by their governments, which are incessantly forced to increase the money supply in order to prop up their fiat currency Ponzi schemes that steal the wealth from their populations. Bitcoin is a liferaft to these people. It is available to everyone, and provides property rights to an unconfiscatable and ever-appreciating monetary asset. It allows them to store their and their family’s life energy in something that cannot be debased or stolen by their governments. This is the true use case for Bitcoin: to bring freedom and hope back to the hopeless and repressed. The wheels are quickly coming off the fiat Ponzi schemes around the world, and hyperinflation is the fate of all of them, including the US dollar. Even the people who currently enjoy the most financial privilege will need to get on the liferaft eventually, or go down with the ship. Wall Street is already getting on board. The Bitcoin use-case is inevitably going to extend to everyone, eventually. image

Your government is not using your tax money to launder through foreign aid and war packages to enrich themselves and their owners. Your tax money doesn't cover it. Instead, they are printing new money for this, which you will pay for later through inflation, on top of the tax money that you already paid. In the future, if we're still around, people will look back and find it unbelievable that the world governments ever controlled the issuance and printing of money, which inevitably leads to societal corruption, never ending wars, death, destruction, and poverty.

Bitcoin is the liferaft to the crumbling legacy financial system Titanic. It's bumpy right now (volatile) because it's still a small raft, and the waters are choppy, but it's trajectory has always been to the upside. It's growing at an exponential rate. The larger it gets, the more stable it will become. You can compare Bitcoin's adoption rate right now to the internet in the mid 90s. It works on 4 year cycles, and every 4 years it gets an order of magnitude larger. This trend shows no signs of stopping. This is why it must be used as a savings vehicle with a minimum 4 year time horizon, but preferably longer, because it will continue to appreciate, forever. This means you should only buy it with the intent of not touching it for 4 years. Once you understand Bitcoin, though, you will be hard pressed to sell it for anything less valuable. This is the same reason why you wouldn't sell dollars today to purchase the hyperinflating Argentinian pesos. image

A simplified way to look at the complex concept of stores of value (i.e. money): Gold - every star in the universe can print units. Real estate - every active volcano can print units. Bonds - every government treasury can print units. Stocks - every company can print units. Fiat currencies - every central bank and regulated banks can print units. Cryptocurrencies - every person on earth can print units. Bitcoin - nobody and nothing can print units The key takeaways: - Bitcoin is unlike anything that has ever existed in recorded history. It is a discovery, not an invention. - Assets that are not Bitcoin will always continue to print new units, and even moreso if it becomes valuable to those in control to do so, which devalues all existing units. This means that everything else will trend to zero when valued against Bitcoin, forever. It is a black hole. - "Crypto" is not Bitcoin, and is potentially something even more insidious than fiat currencies. Beware.
