I was discussing with some of my family, why I’m so ‘obsessed’ with #bitcoin and all the good that I believe it can do in this world.

I was faced with “well my standard of living went up” with this person being promoted recently within the last couple years. I got responses like “well we have the freedom to transact however we want still” or “what freedoms have you lost?”

I guess it’s just sad to see that over the last 4 years these members of my family have not learned a single thing and continue to live and cling to the matrix.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to those pushing for a brighter future!

Keep fighting the good fight.

Personally, I've attempted to orange-pill family for many years. I am now of two minds, one of which I'm certain will win in the end.

a) They were indoctrinated their whole life into believing they cannot live without government support. From then on, anything that detaches them from the government, such as money, becomes a tribulation. Their idea of freedoms is true, justified, and realized, but ultimately limited, and hence, immediately incorrect to us who see beyond the lie, beyond the Matrix.

b) Wait. Wait for things to worsen, because they will. Personally over the years I've accrued as much bitcoin as I can, mainly thinking about myself and my immediate family, but also thinking about my parents and siblings if the need arises. And when the time comes, either one is able to offer a hand, or they're simply not, and that is the way of life. I imagine many people saw themselves in similar shows when previous currencies were debased. Navigate it the best you can.

Yeah, the utmost faith in the government to “solve” all problems was difficult to listen to.

But at the end of the day “you get bitcoin at the price you deserve”.

The last line is the focal point I'm trying to get across, because over the years I've seen many mentions of it, but one thing is to always take it as "Glad I'm still early!", another is to fast-forward and realise your most loved ones were late, and you see the consequences.
