We changed the infrastructure so that people like me have a good tool. It's at the very least a momentary advantage. But yes the people matter more. Bitcoin is only as good as the people using it. The republic called the United States failed miserably because they simply created a new government just like the old one. Bitcoin is a voluntary republic, and those who follow a fork of it that becomes involuntary and government money, well, they follow the same route as the people who put their faith into the United States instead of into freedom and logic themselves.

Strong men create good times. Good times provide an opportunity for strong men to grow stronger and for weak men to grow more complacent and enslave themselves to false gods. Strong men create more strong men. Weak men create bad times and more weak men. Bad times motivate strong men to innovate and tell the weak men to GFY, and the cycle repeats.

On that note, I would like you to flight me. It's every Sunday, and if this is your first time, you have to fly.
