I had a long discussion with a friend who’s very pro XRP shitcoin and believes bitcoin will go away at some point.

His view is that value is flowing out of the fiat system and XRP will become the new digital fiat/CBDC. He is attempting to front run this transition and make a lot of money doing it.

I don’t disagree with him, I’ve thought for a long time that XRP and ETH would merge with CBDC’s and you probably could make a lot of money doing that, but at what cost?

Condemning people to live in that prison for life for your benefit? Is there any better description of a parasite?

I think that’s why Bitcoiners find our community wholesome, because there are plenty of ways to get money, but we’re not just here to save ourselves, we’re here to save everyone.

I choose bitcoin not only because it’s the best way to gain real wealth for me, but because it’s the best way to gain wealth for everyone, and because it’s the most humanitarian and moral way to do it

End rant.
