Fed day post:

The only way to separate money from the state is for individuals to take personal responsibility.

The risk of fiat $ must be >> than the risk of self-sovereign #bitcoin ….or humans won’t do it. They will take the convenient route until it is too risky.

Fiat risk is subtle, slow theft of your time/assets, like a chronic disease that one doesn’t notice most days. Beginning to use #Bitcoin  creates immediate fear/stress in many. Fear is powerful, personal responsibility is the antidote.

Personal responsibility is a hard path. Work is required. Although the onboarding path in #Bitcoin  is improving/simplifying - still too complicated for many. Feels risky: What if I loose my seed? What if the custodian rugs me? Hackers? 5$ wench?

Having an asymmetric bitcoin skill-set compared to most humans is the core of why we are “still so early”. You gain confidence, then it feels less risky. You put in the work, capitalizing on the asymmetry, it will pay off. Real work typically does.

The foundation of #Bitcoin  is proof of work. Work required all the way down the stack. No short-cuts. No BS. Authentic to its core. Sound money. A gift to humanity. Ignore at your own peril.
