What are we here for?
It’s not extra speed
It’s not trading JPEGs on a pretty interface
It’s not moving the money printer from one centralized team to another
It is the DECENTRALIZATION of money, so we can separate money/state.
Only
#Bitcoin
does this. Period.

Younger generations are waking up to the amplitude of gaslighting they've been subjected to by boomers who either:
a) Caused the problem
b) Don't understand the problem due to being brainwashed by the media themselves their whole lives
Wise words on "toxic

maximalism", and why the majority continue to avoid solutions but rather create new marketing buzzwords for fiat, i.e. "crypto"

Ask yourself...does it make sense that as the world becomes more technologically advanced, interconnected, and illuminated by instant knowledge at our fingertips...it becomes HARDER to live our lives?

stakers can't withdraw their funds at all, for "at least a year"

Good morning,
Reminder that there is only one reason why governments are able to perpetuate these never-ending wars across the globe.
You guessed it: FIAT CURRENCY

#bitcoin
People who think "their" money is safe in "their" bank account are the sucker in the fiat financial game.
Opt out and upgrade to
#Bitcoin
, the ultimate unruggable savings account.
Remember that fiat money is an experimental nascent technology with a poor track record. Be sure to only keep in your fiat bank what you are willing to risk losing. Keep the wealth you need in tried & tested real monetary technology: assets that are hard for anyone to produce.

Bitcoin is the first money in history with a perfectly finite supply, no central issuer, and an immutable ruleset for every user on earth to agree on
Ethereum is attempt

Don't overcomplicate this
"The essence of Keynesianism is its complete failure to conceive the role that saving and capital accumulation play in the improvement of economic conditions."
-Ludwig von Mises
Once you realize humans aren't that complicated, and generally just keep doing the same things over and over on the multi-century scale, history becomes a much more fascinating subject

's "The Bitcoin Standard" as a starter for spotting these patterns
If your view on bitcoin/crypto can be summarized as: "
#Bitcoin
is the best cryptocurrency", you're on the right track, but still stuck in an incorrect frame
#BTC
and "crypto" are polar opposites
Thus, being bullish on both reveals fundamental misunderstanding via contradiction
100% true and it's already happening.
Just look at the average bitcoiner vs. the average human on the street.
#Bitcoin
changes you, and as its adoption grows, its positive impact will grow as well.
Fix the high time preference, fix the world! 👨👩👧👦❤️
Excellent vid w/ the caveat that capitalism is once again wrongfully blamed for what socialistic central banking/fiat has enabled
Croneyism/money-printing is the problem. Not capitalism
For further digging on this, highly recommend this

piece:
Every single one of your normie friends/family members could be using the

while experiencing practically zero change in their usual routine.
This is THE brand to be sneaking into as many casual conversations as possible IMO
"An alterable blockchain is a functionally pointless exercise in engineering sophistry: it uses a complex & expensive method for clearance to remove intermediaries & establish immutability, but then grants an intermediary the ability to overturn that immutability." --

Friends, it’s been a dream launch week.
Before I go lay on the beach for a month to decompress, there are a handful of plebs I want to thank, for helping keep me sane through the last 3 years of thousands of hours of content-grinding.
