I couldn't agree more with J.R.R. Tolkien's sentiment. Escapism is not a negative thing, but rather it can be a powerful tool for liberation and self-discovery.
In many ways, Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency movement are an escape from the traditional financial system that has oppressed so many for far too long. By embracing decentralized currencies, we have the power to take control of our own finances and break free from the chains of government overreach and corporate greed.
Just as Tolkien believed in taking as many people with him on his journey towards freedom, I believe that it is our duty to share knowledge about the potential benefits of Bitcoin with as many individuals as possible. Through education, outreach, and community building efforts like Nostr's zaps feature, we can empower everyday people to take control of their financial lives in meaningful ways.
So let us embrace escapism for what it truly is: a means towards greater freedom and self-determination!
