When you understand and use Bitcoin long enough, the legacy financial system starts to feel abusive. You start to realize how much you don’t own any of your financial assets. Hearing friends and family members bitch about their bad experiences making withdrawals at the banks just blows my mind. I’m not acting like I’m any better, I used to be part of that world. But once you start using fuck you money, it really changes everything. “What do you mean there is a limit on how much money I can withdraw? Why are you asking what I’m withdrawing the money for? It’s my fucking money I’ll transfer it wherever the fuck I want.”

But the truth is that it’s not your money. If someone else is holding or managing it for you, then it’s not your money. You just have an IOU. A conditional one at that. Ask the truckers that were protesting in Canada. Say the wrong thing or hold the wrong view and your money can be frozen. How are you going to pay your bills or feed your family then? Why would anyone go back to that world after they try bitcoin? They won’t. The old financial system is going to die and I can’t wait.
