When I compiled all the necessary ingredients for #Bitcoin, I intended it to be a tool of peace.

That might seem strange, with all the ways Bitcoin disrupts the status quo, but the word "peace" is often misunderstood.

Peace is not a lack or avoidance of conflict, but the 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 of conflict. It's the result of doing what you know you must do, even if you don't want to do it.

Bitcoin is an escape from the effects of the fiat system, but it's not an avoidance of the world's many conflicts. On the contrary, when you go down the rabbit hole and start humbly stacking sats, you leave neutral ground forever, and pit yourself against a foe that can sometimes seem unstoppable.

But Bitcoin is your tool for overcoming even that, and finding peace on the other side, first for yourself, and then for the world.

When you save your wealth in Bitcoin, you have the peace of knowing that the fraction you own of the total supply will never diminish due to an ever-increasing supply.

As you stack and hodl through bear and bull markets, you overcome its price swings, and gain the peace that comes from tuning out the noise.

As more people adopt a Bitcoin standard for their own lives, they will also experience this peace.

And as Bitcoin's adoption and value grow, everyone will gradually overcome the conflicts caused by the fiat system, and peace will begin to be felt on a large scale.

Until then, however, we have a lot of conflict to overcome, and the fear, uncertainty, and doubt will pressure many people to give up.

Never give up. Hodl to the peace within you. For 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲.
