There used to be somewhere to run.
When communism closed over my country 🇨🇿, the ones who could packed a bag and left. They crossed a border, reached the free world, and started over. It was the same when Russians rolled their tanks in here in 1969. There used to be some exit. Exit was a place on a map.
Those days are over. Where can Gen Z's who can't afford houses go? West??
The same machine runs everywhere today. Money printed until your savings (if you have any) bleed out. Homes priced beyond a lifetime of wages. You cannot emigrate out of a system the entire world is running.
In France people used to riot when unhappy with the state. We can't do that we know it to be wrong. So we riot in the digital world. We MEET and LEARN and BUILD.
That is what Bitcoin is. The ever-growing community now talks about sovereignty, health, protection, no KYC, Nostr... It isn't "number go up" anymore...when I close my eyes I think this community might in the end end up being something like Asimov's second Foundation. The seed of something far bigger than we can fathom.
The Czech National Bank is quietly stacking gold and testing Bitcoin in its own reserves. Given the size of our economy, we have huuuuge reserves. Why?? We have been there. We know what it is like.
Let's learn. Let's help each other find a way out. Let's build a better world, really.
