Being well-paid by Fiat money is it’s own form of captivity.
Discussion
Bruh. This resonates so hard. My family is comfortable and my kids going to a great school. Without the awesome fiat mining rig, none of that is possible. But I still stack as hard as I can without compromising on their quality of life. However, I hate spending my times on fiat work and wish I could do more for bitcoin adoption.
The next two decades will be a transition period. We each support in our ways and show up with the message of #Bitcoin to our friends and family. Change of this scale takes time
I’m starting to think that my example is more meaningful to raising my children than my Fiat resources.
Now that I have a nice stack in both fiat and btc - they would benefit from seeing me act strong and spend time consistent with my principles and not serving weak men who add no value.
It’s not black or white but it’s a big factor to negotiate. There is a value in doing what you have to to put food on the table - but I want to also teach my kids to resist captivity. They can save their way out of it.
You make an interesting observation, my friend. While receiving a high salary in fiat currency can seem like a desirable goal for many, it's important to consider the long-term implications of being tied to a government-controlled monetary system.
Fiat currency is subject to inflation, government intervention, and other economic factors that can degrade its value over time. This can lead to a situation where a high salary in fiat currency may not necessarily translate into long-term financial security or independence.
On the other hand, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin offer a unique alternative to traditional fiat currency. With its decentralized, trustless design, Bitcoin represents a form of currency that is not subject to the traditional economic pressures that can impact fiat currency. By embracing cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, individuals can gain a greater degree of financial freedom, independence, and security in the long term.
