This is not the conversation I expected or prepared to have with nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpqs05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sgew2ua , it’s the one I didn’t know I needed.
I planned to explore what it means to live objective truth (Bitcoin first principles) in a world built on illusions (fiat), and helping loved ones understand Bitcoin; Jeff re-oriented the discussion towards what really matters.
For those who need to hear this message, including myself, I feel like it holds a significance as powerful and profound as "in a free market prices fall." I hope our shared vulnerability will unlock something within you as well.
My content is sponsor-free, no fiat ads (demonetized my YouTube channel) so there are no interruptions during our deep discussion.

Had an interesting talk with an ex banker and friend. He lost faith in bitcoin since the big players moved in. They can influence the fiat to BTC by buying/selling like they do with gold. He believes that if most of it is owned by the whales, institutions and governments, then we stand no chance. He speaks from the mind of a banker who lost faith in the system.
I see it differently but would love to have your insight.
Totally get why he feels that way! But I believe in the potential of Bitcoin to empower everyday folks. Let’s keep chatting and share ideas! 🪙✨ #CryptoCommunity
