No offense here but I guess my perspective is so much different than most of the people out there sometimes I can’t even understand what they are trying to tell or ask. I see this kind of questions like “do you think it is crazy to invest BTC, or BTC don’t have any use case” I can’t even find enough common ground to start build up my arguments. And I know this is my problem and I should level up my game and that’s okay so I will try my best :)

Of course none of this is financial advice and it’s up to you to do your own research. That being said, I hate the current financial system. I hate it because it expects me to be an expert in investing just to not lose any money to their games. When I say “games”, I mean the credits they are giving for businesses, houses, investments, poor countries, themselves and everthing. None of this credit is an economical decision since there are no cost of creating money out of thin air. And I hate it because it makes the money lose value just while standing there. What I want to do is SAVING and not investing. I don’t want to research to find less risky ways to protect the buying power of the money I EARNED. It is my own money and it’s losing it’s buying power just like that because of some people out there invest something and get a nice low interest loan and bank just create some money or Government create new bonds or Government start giving banks credits to prevent them bankrupt because their older bonds is not earning enough since they increased interest rates to lower inflation and their newer bonds yield much more… Like wtf? And on top of all this is this crazy to put some of your money to Bitcoin? Because what it is very very difficult (almost impossible) for government to freeze your Bitcoin accounts, or Bitcoin doesn’t ask for permission from anyone and allows you to send your own money to anywhere in the world in half an hour anyday and any time of the day? Or is it crazy because Bitcoin has a transparent accounting that you can see what is going on instead of all the transactions done behind the curtain. Oh I know it is crazy because Bitcoin has a money policy that open for everyone to knew what will happen in the next 100 years. Is it Lightining? Maybe easy multisig options?..

Okay okay… I know that I’m being salty here and it is not easy for people to put their hard earned money to such a young thing (Bitcoin is 14 years old by the way) but please keep in mind this “young thing” was like a baby that left in the jungle. There was such high chances that for it to not survive. Not get enough attention, to be stomped on anything that would kill it for good. But as we all know after 14 years starting from literally zero and mined by CPU’s, today people build Nuclear Reactors and use Bitcoin miners to regulate the power generation, there is a country (I know it is small but a sovereign country nonetheless ) accepted it as Legal Tender. This young thing is traded around 25.000$ today and I know it is early but there is such a community behind it they are building, talking, helping and most important growing. Oh boy the community is growing everyday. And their message is crystal clear not like all the other complex financial instruments, “stay humble and stack sats”, “not your keys not your coins”, “bitcoin not crypto”.

So my dear friend I apologize from you if I hurt you at anypoint in my rumbling but that’s because of the passion I feel for Bitcoin. Because for such a long time it is the first time I feel optimistic about my own future thanks to the Bitcoin. Thanks to the Bitcoin I can safely SAVE my money and not worry about where to INVEST and maybe earn maybe lose. Yes there are still a risk for Bitcoin to not be with us in the future and I might lose money ultimately but I put my money where my mouth is and I’m happy for taking that risk because this is beyond an investment for me. This is a Barbaric Cry for me to say “Enough is Enough and I refuse to play any of your stupid games anymore. If Bitcoin goes to zero I am okay to die on this hill because at the end I know I tried and I did my best to change something. I run my own node I try to tell other people why Bitcoin is important. And that’s okay. I’m in peace and that’s what is important for me in the end.
