I have decided to come back, but with the condition I set for myself of being constructive. Given that the world gets worse every day, I think certain guidelines are needed to survive in this hell. That said: it’s a bad idea to introduce people to Bitcoin by convincing them it will make them money. That may or may not be true for long periods of time or even decades. You should be in Bitcoin because: - Not allowing a rigged game where you work to earn money while others simply press a button and obtain counterfeit money. - Not allowing any entity to confiscate your money automatically. - Not financing things you don’t want through the deception of fiat money, such as wars and other perversities. - Not letting anyone decide or prohibit what you want to do with your money. Unforgeable, unconfiscatable, and uncensorable. But just like with open-source operating systems, the average Bitcoiner will face more friction and more difficulties, all in the name of Freedom. This is the message that needs to be sold, and not everyone is prepared to hear it, much less live by it.
