We are accustomed to storing our wealth and #money with banks.

We give them our money and we pay them a fee to store it for us. We do this because we trust them to keep our hard earned money safe. We also do this thinking our money is available to us on demand at all times.

Most people don't question this. They should...

The reality is sobering. They take our money, and if we are lucky, they keep a fraction of it on hand in the form of reserves and the rest is used to generate profits by being invested in various asset classes with different risks.

If the banks generate a profit by using the fruits of our labor we see none of it. However, if the banks screw up and lose our savings, the government intervenes and bails them out by expanding the money supply (i.e. printing money out of thin air). In doing so, they debase the currency which reduces our purchasing power. We end up paying the price for their reckless and irresponsible behavior with OUR money.

This should be enough reason to explore and learn about #Bitcoin.

Remove the banks from the equation. With #Bitcoin you can self-custody your wealth and money without having to trust anyone but yourself.

Be a sovereign individual and opt out of this broken system.
