Human beings are selfish by nature.
Bitcoin doesn’t try to change this, but instead leverages it. The protocol is structured so that each participant, by pursuing their own interest, ends up strengthening the entire system.
That’s the genius of Bitcoin: it turns selfishness into emergent altruism. Here, you don’t need to “trust” in the goodness of others; you just need to know that the system rewards correct behavior. This creates a balance where everyone has an incentive to play fair.
Honesty isn’t required—it’s incentivized. And it works.

The first time I discovered Bitcoin, it was love at first sight. I sensed something special, something I couldn’t fully understand at the time…
Then you talk to other people, you stop listening to yourself, you get confused, you get distracted, and maybe you even start to think there’s something wrong with you… So you drift away.
But that spark stays with you, even if you don’t completely get it. It never really goes away. Every now and then it comes back, you feel it again, it never truly disappears.
Then, one day, almost like magic, something switches back on: maybe it’s a phrase, a single word—whatever it is, it reignites that spark like the very first time, and suddenly you see it in all its glory.
For me, that moment was realizing the revolution it brings. Seeing it as a political tool, not just a financial one. Seeing it in all its complexity. And every day, I realize I still have so much more to learn, and that’s amazing.
Another thing I’ve learned?
When you feel that spark, listen to your instinct. Forget what others think. Go deep, research, listen to everyone, but don’t trust—verify everything.
Making mistakes by following your instinct builds experience.
Making mistakes because you listen to others builds regret.

I was watching a crime series: they arrest a guy buying sensitive information.
The cops ask him, “How would you have paid the hacker? Bank transfer? App?”
He answers, “No.”
And I immediately thought, “Here we go, now they’ll start the usual speech about cryptocurrencies used by criminals.”
But no!
The answer was: “No, he just wanted cash. Electronic payments are traceable.”
Interesting, right?

what is, in your opinion, or in your cousin's opinion😉, the best way to preserve the seed phrase?

This system is dead.
But no one dares to say it.
I see it. I feel it. You see it too.
It drags on like a zombie, infecting everything it touches.
And still… we serve it. Still, we feed it.
