Libre y pobre

I'd rather be a bitcoiner and get the best of both worlds.

Enslaved and poor 🫡

Free and poor with zero doubt. I am pretty poor, and its very freeing.

FWIW, I don't think you can be free and poor, because if you're free you cannot be poor.

How so? I dont need material wealth to be free.

I was trying to figure out a way to word this. What I mean is, if you are free then that is axiomatically the opposite of poverty regardless of relative wealth. Freedom can be a consequence of wealth but the state of poverty inhabits the body of no free man.

Well, the question seemed to imply material wealth. Rich or poor.

I was trying to flip the script.

Oh I get it. And I agree with you. But that's not what the OP was asking.

For me, I measure wealth by my health. And in that sense, billionaires aint got shit on me

🤔…all I know is the great Janis Japlin once said “freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose”

…it’s my 2cd favorite snippet from a lyric of all time🫡🌅⭕️

Comfortably free and poor as we speak

I think everything's better than poor and enslaved. 🤷

What is freedom? Is that if Digit gave me a sock like in Harry Potter? I'm not so sure it works that way in real life

You're never poor if you are free mate. 💜🚒🇬🇧😎

Many would rather be a fake somebody over a real nobody

Free and poor all day, I know how to make money

Free all day every day regardless of monetary wealth

Freedom may no longer be on the table.

Never was before, but it is now more than in the past

Freedom is largely an illusion (unfortunately)

We're just packs of monkeys imposing hierarchical structures on one another, unfortunately

Yeah man, it’s a major bummer. The realization that everyone is born under a tax-yoke and set of hierarchical rules with no ability to opt out was a big step in my radicalization.

Free and poor
