Your #bitcoin stack is worthless.

What’s the point of having a fat stack of sats if the world around you is barren of beauty, freedom, and thriving communities?

Bitcoin is just money, even if it’s JUST money. It’s a tool, a means to an end, but what are you working towards? Why are you here?

It's fashionable in the bitcoin community to talk big about “generational wealth,” as if amassing a fortune and passing it down is the ultimate goal.

How about passing on the ability to accumulate skill and reputational capital—assets that grant the timeless ability to create value, regardless of the economic landscape?

If you have the skills to be useful to your fellow man, and if you’ve built a reputation as trustworthy and capable, you will never go hungry. Reputation and skill transcend the limitations of money. They are the true generational wealth.

Bitcoin is worth less in a world stripped of beauty, community, and purpose. It’s worth less if only hoarded rather than used to build, improve, and inspire.

Bitcoin is not worthless, of course. It’s the most potent money that ever emerged. However, it’s only as powerful as the world we build around it.

Don't leave your kids bitcoin. Leave them a legacy.

Thanks, I appreciate it. For some pow you can look at konsensus.network and bitcoinbook.shop. Those are my main focus atm. We translate and distribute bitcoin books in over a dozen languages. Grass roots, revenue funded 💪

What an interesting comment on his post. Curious why nostr:npub1g7lqk25fl24xd0zh7hr8jgp5smdy2eszjh9nmv7z7w85h6xcs9hq4u8yd9 you felt the need to post “lol you don’t have those abilities do you”.

If you didn’t like the post, then just scroll on? Why take the time to “lol” at this person. That’s very much what X(twitter) is about but I think here on NOSTR we set the bar a little higher for comments. This is not an attack just an unsolicited observation.

I think it is better for everyone to be constructive instead of destructive.

If you didn't like my post why didn't you just scroll on.

It's an incentive for users *with* skills to post about them here.

For my posts, I set the bar.
