💯 🔥 The further I went down the rabbit hole understanding bitcoin, the more I learned about the way money works in general and just how completely f'd up the world is in that regard. It was just all something I was never taught growing up. "The money" was something for the government to worry about and me to use. It's just how I assumed it works. Learning about bitcoin, so many pieces of the proverbial puzzle began falling into place and making sense as I learned more and more. Blows my mind when I stop and think about it.

We are all financially illiterate just like we were book illiterate 500 years ago pre printing press.
The printing press started the separation of church and state.
₿itcoin started the separation of money and state.

It took far longer for literacy and eventual change to happen, than it did to implement the press (under attack from the church) and disseminate bibles. We're only 15 years into bitcoin.
For more recent perspective, the internet was around for 20 years before the first web browser. The Web was around for another 15 years before the first smartphone. We're early. But bitcoin isn't going anywhere.
