After having all my bank accounts frozen by the courts, I understood the importance of Bitcoin, self-custody, and anonymity. The power of truly owning your wealth is something transcendental. Anything the State can take from you with the stroke of a pen—your car, house, bank accounts—isn't really yours. It's just a fictional representation of ownership.
Depois que tive todas as minhas contas bancárias bloqueadas pela justiça eu entendi a importância do Bitcoin, da auto custódia, do anonimato. O poder de ser dono do seu próprio patrimônio é algo transedental. Tudo que o Estado pode te tomar com uma canetada... carro, casa, contas bancárias... não é seu, é apenas uma representação ficticia de posse.

If there’s a downside to being a Bitcoiner, it’s that any conversation in social settings that isn’t about Bitcoin or related topics starts to feel completely boring.
To slow, sucker! Block this! 
1933: President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102, which required all citizens to turn in their gold coins, bars, and certificates to the Federal Reserve. The goal was to combat the economic crisis of the Great Depression and prevent gold from leaving the banking system.
1934: The Gold Reserve Act formalized the measure, prohibiting private ownership of monetary gold and transferring all gold from the Federal Reserve to the U.S. Treasury.
1974: President Gerald Ford signed a law that repealed the ban, and starting on December 31, 1974, American citizens were once again allowed to buy, sell, and own gold legally. 
The only thing you can say with 100% certainty that truly belongs to you is Bitcoin. Your wife or husband can leave at any moment. Kids? There are plenty of empty nests out there. House, money in the bank, cars, yachts, or any other material thing—these can all be taken by the justice system whenever it wants. Never forget the gold confiscation from 1933 to 1974. Not even your soul truly belongs to you. If you want to own something you can truly call yours... accumulate BTC. But please, don’t leave it on exchanges—always use self-custody. Not your keys, not your coins.

The environment matters.
