It cannot be inflated away
I use Bitcoin because nobody can prevent me from building on it too! #[3] is my project to bring sats to everyone.

bitcoin is important because it lets the controllers know that there is something that they can’t control.
This is also why Nostr is important
Because neither can be stopped. Because the dollar is failing the world in real time!
Because it brings together instead of dividing
Because the banks are trying to cancel us but we will use Bitcoin to take them down instead.
Because i am tired of this fiat bullshit and scam of a few centrals on the top of Pyramide scheme.
I want better and sound future for my kids instead of watching them wasting their time as fiat NPCs.
It’s a logical evolution of payment.
I want my money to be safely in my possession.
Why BItcoin? Do you have better idea for money for the internet?
Obviously LN, onchain is too slow. Microtips shouldnt really be stored for ever in a most secure db ever.
Transactions are speech and some speech should be only temporary and P2P, not public for ever.
I use Bitcoin because I want to be prepared for the future.
Because Bitcoin doesn’t care.
Bitcoin is a protocol to transfer pure clean value.
It is great for me and my enemies.
Storing my time value in such a system is great for me and future generations.
Store of value
Because I want to save value in hard money.
Because I want transactions to be at the speed of light.
Because I don't want banks censoring my transactions.
Because I want transactions to be cheap.
Because I want to verify the transactions myself.
Because I want to have privacy with my money.
Because everyone can use this money all across the world, so people in poorly developed country's have finally a chance to save and build something for themselves too.
Because the cantillon effect doesn't apply to Bitcoin.
Thanks for the like and the zap! 👍
I use bitcoin because I don't trust my government and don't believe my government and don't trust my national currency.
I use lightning network because it is only solution I know for instant payments that doesn't care about receipent country or nationality.
To endthefed
I got tired of explaining the ‘source of my funds/deposits’ to government and banks..
It eliminates useless and monopolistic intermediaries who buy from the producer at a pittance and recharge to the buyer, it encourages direct actions between two interested parties, who produces and who consumes ... at most one third service that transports ... and no multinational can prevent it .

I use bitcoin because fractional reserve banking is a scam.
I'm use Bitcoin
Bitcoin is Decentrailzed
It's what we're blocked and suppressed from.
The elite people, so
that we own a certain amount of money
reveal what to spend Everyone in the world knows
Keep it in your bag, everyone knows. It's something that politicians or elite people definitely don't like.
So lighting support Bitcoin as real money.
Bitcoin = Store of value
LN = "daily" TXs
Bitcoin is energy & Time.
Proof of Work
Once you understand what Bitcoin is about, it is clear that Bitcoin is one of the wonders of the world ... Probably the best and most powerful.
- Freedom
- Decentralization
- Resistant to censorship
- Limited to 21M
- etc ...
Next to life and time, Bitcoin is the only really rare commodity on this planet!
There is no second best 💊🐇⚡️✅!
Bitcoin don't need us ... But we need Bitcoin 💜⚡️🤙
Thx a lot Sir 🫡💜⚡️🤙
Why should I work for something that is:
Made by government
Owned by government
Controlled by government
Devalued by government
Destroyed by government.
A government that governs the least governs the best.
#Bitcoin fixes this
I use bitcoin because i want to send \receive pymt without the government overlords tracking it
and to put it another way: it encourages savings by vacing a healthy and patient economy, i.e. long-term hodl... something you can't do in fiat today, but you are forced to invest, diversifying, chasing earnings and inflating the pockets of speculators , just to be able not to lose purchasing power ... never at peace, always with the inflation that haunts you (Fear and Obsession)
It's just fascinating tech. Haven't had that much excitement since I was a kid unwrapping Christmas presents.
The Peer 2 Peer payment system & the lighting low fees transactions⚡⚡🤙
I live in Argentina.
Depreciating money urges you to spend. Urges to claim instant gratification.
It turns to ashes in your hands and it burns fast.
You cannot save, only survive. Day by day. You can only take debt and more debt... Fasten your belts!
Bitcoin is a pill for cure. From dis ease. To this ease.
I use it to preserve my financial freedom.
Lightning lets me send money to anyone anywhere in the world immediately. Total game changer 😎
Bitcoin is a digital currency that allows individuals to make transactions without the need for intermediaries such as banks or financial institutions. It uses a decentralized ledger called a blockchain to record transactions, making it difficult to tamper with or hack.
One reason individuals may choose to use Bitcoin is its decentralization, which means that it is not controlled by any single entity or government. This provides users with greater privacy and control over their money. Additionally, Bitcoin transactions can be faster and cheaper than traditional banking transactions.
The Lightning Network is a second layer solution built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. It allows for faster and cheaper transactions by enabling off-chain transactions between users. The Lightning Network also enables micropayments, which can be useful for content creators and other small businesses that may not have access to traditional payment methods.
Overall, individuals may choose to use Bitcoin or the Lightning Network for various reasons, including privacy, decentralization, faster and cheaper transactions, and micropayments. However, it is important to note that there are risks associated with using digital currencies, including volatility, security concerns, and regulatory uncertainty. It is always important to do your research and understand the risks before using any digital currency.
HODL!
and then it's just hilarious to see all those corrupt boomers scrambling to look calm and confident while knowing they're powerless against something clean and fair like BTC that just does what it's needed and that's it...makes any Ethics or Rights Bodies redundant of the consumer and other potentially corruptible Obsolete legacies🧐
For my retirement and my sons future so I can afford to leave him something of value
Because this gives me freedom.
Биткоин победит инфляцию. Правительство больше не сможет нас ограбить. Если мы проигнорируем регуляторов. Их призывы.
People had few hours to pack their bags and run for their lives from an angry mob destroying everything on their way - and they luckily did, however all the hard work, all the ‚wealth’ was left behind them - so they had to start everything from scratch. This happened to my ancestors about hundred years ago. If for some reason I would have to do the same thing - I will not start from zero!
it is the only defense we have against the Economic War that is being waged worldwide...
I don't like being a victim, fighting openly is impossible... then I can resist, and Btc gives you a shield that can be impenetrable if used wisely, that's all it takes to build on a solid foundation.
They are too spineless, their atrocities are the sign of their weakness.
If world will embrace bitcoin, there wouldn't be big wars. When the store of the value is gold, you can physically stole it with enough force(fourth crusade is good example) but to stole bitcoin you need to *know* the private key of the victim which is one in 2^256, thus to own bitcoin you need to know the information. To own gold you need a big force to protect it, otherwise it could be stolen.
I use Bitcoin because feel the world is flirting with authoritarianism and they’re loving it.
To zap⚡️people who also advocate for #FreeRoss✨🏴☠️
I use bitcoin to leave the fiat system.
I use #Bitcoin because here in Venezuela, our money died already, it enables the ultimate purpose of free market, a worldwide connected one. You just simply learn the lesson, trying to attach or seek refugee into the dollar is suffering the same fate in the future.
This lesson is only available for the ones smart enough to see the patterns, or the ones who actually suffered this fate in first person, some learn reading history, some others learn the hard way.
Volatility is only a concern for people who still believe they have the illusion of choice...
Read that again, that ''choice'' is just an illusion, the only thing actually stable here is Bitcoin, ticking blocks every 10 minutes since 2009
You gotta feel blessed and thankful of knowing this.
I embrace #Bitcoin and #Lightning because they're a baecon of hope in these dark times.
It empowers people all over the globe to stand up against oppression and the insidious fiat system that keeps us in chains. Slogans like 'Make 1984 fiction again!' are to be taken very seriously imo.
Technology is tool that you can use or can be used against you. It's up to the people today to use the right tools and fight for our children's future. #Nostr is another powerful tool in the plebs' arsenal.
It'll be a difficult battle but it's s battle we can win. Let's make it count!
"They" (i.e. TPTSB--The Powers That Shouldn't Be) can neither stop me nor "man-in-the-middle" me (i.e. tax a pound of my economic flesh/lifeblood without my consent).🙏😁😆
This is a mind-melting liberation from oppression. This is one of the key messages we need to convey to the minds and hearts of "the common man."💯‼️💜
Nostr 💜 and Lightning ⚡, of course , grease the skids to make this happen sooner rather than later.❤️🙏😁
👇 This 👇This👇‼️ THIS ‼️👇⚡💜💯

I buy bitcoin because it is the best way to not hold fiat 🦜
The future of money
I use Bitcoin because it is digital gold whereas physical gold just weighs me down and securing bitcoin is easier.
Weil es die einzige Lösung ist um Menschen vor dem Geld drücken und den negativen Auswirkungen zu schützen.
I use bitcoin and discover the lightning network because it is time to separate state and money.
It is time that the state stops restricting my use of my money
It is time that the state stops transferring my wealth to the rich through inflation and unfair tax loopholes.
I'm using LN because I move money from me to you. No middle man 🤙
Cause people still do not believe it is the best option for saving for the next 100 years
I use bitcoin because it is the money of the internet.
Because NO MORE WAR
🙏💜🧡 thank you kindly much love
Because it is lightning fast and peer 2 peer!
for example to run my relay :-p
Always felt the money system was unfair in some way but bever understood it until i discovered bitcoin. Since then i use it because it’s the most fair money i ever heard abou 💪💜
It’s just better, faster and more secure than using fiat.
Fiat goes to zero while ⚡️ is so sexy strong and fun!
Man you will be bankrupt
but answering your question. I use as a store of value mainly , because i am in latam and our money is trash
