I've been saving what I can in Bitcoin consistently for about 2 years. I don't have a lot. I also have more than most. Computers aren't my strong suit but it also has pushed me to figure out what I can at my pace.
I figured out self custody on chain (to a satisfactory degree) rather early. Because I realized the power that gives me. On a network like Bitcoin, with a finite, predictable, verifiable unit of account. Open to anyone.
Bound to energy and cryptography. That can't just be bought to be changed. Robust, as in, maybe I don't have access to it right now. But somewhere it is running. And it is not lost.
Something I could have the keys to the signature as mine. I see that value in that.
I can be a "shrimp" and still understand the value proposition better than people stuck in a fiat mindset.
But I know I understand it better than Blackrock.
Or people making "policies" to limit more liberties.
And I'll do my damnedest to keep my sats safe. And tell others who see the potential that a fair monetary consensus could bring. So they also see how important self custody is over a fiat price tag.
I have become far to nihilistic in my youth. #Bitcoin gives me a longer term outlook. Something that makes sense to me.
Clunky and confusing as it may be to use still. It's worth it.
And I will say. It is getting much easier.
#nostr has been huge in me seeing the function is there. And working.
Ramble done. Now go zap nostr:npub1lelkh3hhxw9hdwlcpk6q9t0xt9f7yze0y0nxazvzqjmre3p98x3sthkvyz for his phenomenal work on his documentary some more 🫡🫂
