I made this gif last year based on an image I saw from @memeingbitcoin on Twitter. While I’m not so naive as to think #bitcoin automatically fixes all the problems of the world, and I recognize that politics are not absent among bitcoiners, I love the message in this meme. The issues caused by broken money and central banking affect everyone in a very fundamental way, no matter your background or political leanings, because money touches so many parts of our lives. #Bitcoin won’t fix the world, but a “fixed money” in the hands of people who love freedom can go a long way toward making the world a better place. Fix the money, fix the world.

It should keep going to the right where the second orange guy goes back into the liberal, oranges the liberal and then transacts with and oranges the original conservative… and then the “fix the the money, fix the world.” text overlays.

I hear you bud; been thinking a lot about this lately.

I feel like the path forward is for Bitcoiners is to take their knowledge and understanding into other more organic, preferably meatspace, communities and just spread the adoption of Bitcoin as just better money, nothing more, nothing less.

Because at the end of the day, as great as Bitcoiners are and as fruitful as some of the discussions and software developments are within this community, it's always going to be a circlejerk to a certain degree. It makes me think of the scene from "Idiocracy" where Dax Shepard's character is talking to the Starbucks employee, and they are so delighted at the fact that they both like money (and sex). But of course it is different to an extent, because so much about the cult of Bitcoin forces you to rethink what money is, how it works, how it could be improved, and not just uncritically thirsting for more of the same.

We just need to move beyond this; I'm not sure exactly what it will take, but there's a point where the Bitcoin/money singularity will occur and the world is going to be turned on its head.

I appreciated Ben Arcs viewpoint on What Bitcoin did podcast. He highlighted how Nostr removed the political baggage of bitcoin and simply showed it as a technology.

This allowed anyone who had dismissed bitcoin on a political level to become reacquainted with it on the technical level and see it in a new and pure way.
