Just think on it for a while:
A money that keeps (even increases) its value over time.
And if you run your own node and hold your own keys, you're into sovereign finance.

Back in Vancouver and glad to see The Big Print delivered. I was lucky enough to read the draft and it is excellent. Congrats to my good friend and all around amazing human being nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv in getting this out. Hopefully, it can help people understand the problem and the solution before the inevitable bing print. 
What are some of the contents or topics that set it apart from other Bitcoin books?
An #Umbrel node is very simple to setup and run. Plug and play. Has a beautiful user interface too.
Have also used an old Mac Mini as a node.
If you don't have your node up yet, considering add it to your to do list.

For those who value historical affirmation from wise minds in the past on the corrupt ethics of states printing money, you'll enjoy reading Nicholas Oresme's "De Monetia" from the 14th century. It's pretty short. It reaches back even further to Aristotle, Cassiodorus, Solomon and Moses. It's referenced in Hülsmann's 2009 "Ethics of Money Production", which inspired the more recent book, "Thank God for Bitcoin".
Here's where you can read it for free:
One key characteristic of #Bitcoin is that it has no issuer - whether that be the state or a corporation or a celebrity influencer or a tech wiz.

If someone has to be in charge of the peg, the peg will fail.
As you study #Bitcoin, you'll come to appreciate property rights.
#Bitcoin is new tech solving an age-old problem: the debasement of money.
Whether in the form of printed paper, digital IOIOIIOOs, or hunks and chunks of metals, money has always been susceptible to debasement.
We just couldn't store value in a way that wouldn't leak.
Until #Bitcoin.
HODL it.
#Bitcoin is profound.

I've been falling falling falling down the #Bitcoin rabbit hole, falling for 3 years straight, falling every day and every night, tired eyes and highlighters in books, headphones in at night, more than 1,000 consecutive days of falling each day and every day and I have not yet hit the bottom or lost interest.
And what is coming next?
What will come when the absoluteness of #Bitcoin infiltrates and reprices this cheap fiat world???

Question 1: Can the total supply of #XRP be expanded?
Question 2: Can the total supply of #BTC be expanded?

KEET: It's been interesting and encouraging to watch Keet.io emerge and improve.
It's a communication app. It's in Beta, but already impressive.
I think it may be profoundly helpful - maybe essential - to those interested in private property and private personal communications in the coming years.
Keet's claim: direct, end-to-end encrypted data between the participants in every interaction: Text messaging. Voice calling. File sharing. Video chatting. Bitcoin Lightning payments.
Yet no middlemen, third-parties, or servers. Nobody to snoop on calls, leak or collect data. No ads.
I like listening to these two people talk about stuff.
#Introduction
Hello #nostr
Now I ditched Twitter and joined nostr because I love everything #bitcoin stands for and nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqpr9mhxue69uhhxetwv35hgtnwdaekvmrpwfjjucm0d5klqft7 convinced me to.
It's going to take some time to learn more about it and to get used to it.
But here we go.
Find a Nostr user you like and follow people from their follow list
Or, search the #Bitcoin hashtag, and then over time follow the users from that hashtag that you want to hear more of
IMO, this is where incentives come in. If #Bitcoin is what we think it is, then it will be naturally attractive to anyone who uses money.
The only way to slow adoption will be coercion...which will itself only make the case for #Bitcoin more evident. (In my mind, this is what we mean when we say Bitcoin is antifragile.)
Trying to stop #Bitcoin is like squeezing a hand full of sand.
The sand will find a way out.
Gone are the days where buildings make for better money than actually money
"Bitcoin doesn't produce anything"
How does he not understand what money is?
Surreal how the axiom holds true:
You don't change Bitcoin
Bitcoin changes you
Sometimes it doesn't seem real (what Bitcoin is, and will become)
NGU technology over time due to its inherent characteristics!
Fear of the IRS and the complexity of Capital Gains taxes.
-1 and 1 look similar, except for that little inverse "-" sign.
Altcoins and #Bitcoin are categorically different.
#Bitcoin is the inverse of a Ponzi scheme.
Proof of work + difficulty adjustment + decentralized protocol = hardest money known to man.
Freaking impressive.

Trying this on for size:
What if gov't existed solely to assist individual citizens in the protection of their property rights against theft or seizure by aggressors?
