“Our civilised world is but a grand masquerade. Here we encounter knights, pastors, soldiers, doctors, lawyers, priests, philosophers, and whatnot; but they are not what they represent: these are mere masks, under which, as a rule, are moneymakers.”

- Schopenhauer

trick question lol. People only hold money to exchange it (sell it) at a later time. It can’t sell out.

Amen brother

Real science involves results we can replicate, like in physics and math. The fake voodoo that is modern economics has never produced a single repeatable experiment. Why believe in that? Stick with god. Stick with logic. Forget the hucksters who try to make you believe there are wizards in Washington who can predict the future. We have thousands of years of knowledge that show us what happens when central planners take control. Socialists would prefer you forget. Don't. It's no accident that this is not taught in government provided schools.

For the first time in human history, we might have a way to track the value we provide to society that is immune to manipulation and this is why I believe in Bitcoin, because it's truth. It's real people trading real time for what they believe is real value. A slice of the pie they know will never be manipulated against their will. It will be the same slice today as it will be tomorrow or ten years into the future. It's a real chance for humanity.

Thank god for #Bitcoin.

Humans rarely use the em dash (—). Do you know how to make one? For some reason AI can't do anything without them. Dead giveaway in your tweets, emails, etc.

The only reason you would ever use the second-best tool for anything is because you don't understand how to use the best one. No other reason. #bitcoin

This is the way!

Love it! The little holder explains this so much better lol

Some random thoughts on why Bitcoin won’t be banned.

Why can't someone ban Bitcoin?

The answer: Anyone can ban Bitcoin.

But there is a better question here: Why would they?

Banning something does not make something disappear. It only limits access to it.

When it comes to the tools we use in our lives, nobody wants to use the second best tool for anything, especially money.

You want the best tool for the job, and when it comes to storing purchasing power over time and space, nothing can do that job better than Bitcoin. (first immutable ledger in human history - first time we can keep a record of the past and know for certain it has not been manipulated)

So we need to understand that Bitcoin is better money first (which is an entirely different conversation)

Eventually when enough people understand this is the best tool it will become the most widely accepted medium of exchange. Some people will only sell their goods or services in this medium the same way people only sell in USD today.

So, if we believe Bitcoin is better money and all our trading partners also believe this, then what purpose would it do for you to ban yourself from trading with others who accept Bitcoin?

Imagine going to the farmers market this weekend, but you decide to ban yourself and your family from using the US dollar. Can you do that? Yes, but why would you? It would make no sense. While you might be able to find someone willing to trade goods or services without using the dollar, your life would likely become much more difficult than if you simply lifted the ban and used the most common medium of exchange.

Bitcoin is not the common medium of exchange yet, but it is better money. Understanding this allows us to weather the volatility and invest in this asset class as global adoption takes place. Once Bitcoin becomes a common money, banning it will make no sense for anyone.

It’s hard to explain this without first understanding why it is better money and second, that nobody wants to use the second best tool for anything. Simple concept but not easy to understand/explain.

Generosity takes a backseat to survival. If you don’t know where your next meal is coming from or don’t have a safe place to sleep, sharing with strangers isn’t likely to bring you the good feels. Security enables sharing and Bitcoin enables security.
