I will always have #Bitcoin to thank for letting me and my wife focus entirely on our family, for giving me a path to doing what I wanted in life, and to just be able to take the insane risk of creating content, speaking my mind, reading into a mic, writing and creating film, and now developing our own applications, with the hope that what we build would be valuable enough to see a return.

Without it, I don't know where we would be.

Today our life is our choice, and that is a freedom I don't ever want to take for granted.

Bitcoin has provided freedom to more people than any other technology. Incredible ancillary benefit to the monetization and adoption of superior money tech.

The most beautiful thing about bitcoin, and the sound money capitalism is how your success is making every other Bitcoiner more successful as a positive externality.

It makes it extra enjoyable hearing a feel-good stories from another bitcoiner. There's not many global places where everyone would be genuinely cheering for everyone else.

Mutually assured love.

Multi Level Marketing is another one.

Just saying. It’s not a scam. But it’s not much different either. Aside from the underlying driving fact of “sound money” … the spread of Bitcoin has MLM architecture.

Very important message.

There are so few people on Earth to whom Bitcoin means anything more than speculative stuff they seldom hear about in news.

What could it possibly mean to the average educated middle class worker providing for a family and paying insurance and mortgage.. at today's price of $60000?

Even if it keeps going up, unless you put millions, it doesn't do much of a difference, and it could also go down and wipe out your savings.

What's the unique selling proposition for the US middle class to buy into bitcoin?

Fiat is literally losing value every single day.

Bitcoin is designed to gain value.

It isn't a get rich quick scheme, its just a keep your value over the long run and watch it slowly grow instead of bleed out.

My costs go down on average every single year by being on a bitcoin standard, with about 1 stable to down year out of every four. This is super easy to manage since i have 3 years of it gaining in between. But the dollar just loses value, in fact that do it on purpose, every single year.

So the question is whether you want to slowly get wealthier as all of our technology and goods get better, or do you want to slowly get poorer over that time.

Everyone thinking this thing is something to trade has made a huge miscalculation, imo. The dollar is simply the thing you need to get away from so you stop bleeding out on the floor.

-----------------

Also it being $60k is irrelevant, nobody has to buy a whole bitcoin, i send and receive pennies worth of btc dozens of times a day. The question is whether it will go up over time, or down. Just stop using stuff that goes down.
