Bitcoin is competing with the U.S. Dollar. The more dollars they print the better Bitcoin does. Why? Because the Dollar becomes less valuable. That means it can't buy as much as it used to. If you hold it you become poorer. People will sell their dollars for Bitcoin because it buys more than the dollar does. That's why people buy gold. Some predict Bitcoin will be worth more than Gold someday. I think they are right. image

Those are my wallets. One is leather full of cash and cards of all sorts. The other is a Bitkey holding Bitcoin. When I look at both of them it feels like the leather wallet is becoming more and more obsolete. About a month ago I learned that we could start to live off from Bitcoin. I've gotten to know a few people that have been living off from it for years now. They've done really well for themselves. They say if you're past 40 you come to Bitcoin either because you're curious or desperate. I think I'm both. I love to learn and we are now a single income family trying to grow a native plant nursery. Staying afloat financially is important for the latter. Bitcoin, I've learned. holds its value better than the U.S Dollar. I work hard for a wage. I want to hold onto what I've earned after all the bills are paid. So here I am going deeper and deeper into Bitcoin. This is nothing unusual. I know enough Bitcoiners to know that this is a natural process. I've been buying it for 2 1/2 years now. As I've learned more I've bought more. Someday you might find yourself in this condition and position. If you do, I recommend you buy a Bitkey to hold your Bitcoin on. I set it up today and transferred my Bitcoin onto it. It was simple and seamless. Along the way into my Bitcoin journey I have asked for help from other Bitcoiners who have been more tech savvy than I. In both instances it seemed both individuals dropped what they were doing and got back to me immediately with audio messages. They couldn't type because they were driving or working out. It happened today. I had questions about setting up my Bitkey. I private-messaged the gentleman. He was driving his family in their van. But still sent me an audio message while they were together. The Bitcoiners I know are possessed with a commitment and conviction to build a better world. And it's contagious. So if you ever find yourself with questions or concerns about Bitcoin I am offering to help you or point you in the direction of someone who can. 1.1.25 image

Me too. I couldn't tell you anything about the rest of the coins out there. I found Bitcoin in July of 2022. Partly out of desperation and partly out of curiosity. The desperation came from watching the price of everything go up while my wages didn't. The curiosity sparked by the Bitcoiners telling me how it was the best form of currency ever invented. Even better than gold! Since then more and more of my wages go into Bitcoin. We are hoping to be living off it within the next year. image
