Banks and the entire legacy system became optional for intelligent people starting in 2009.
Study #Bitcoin
The masses aren't victims, they're enablers.
Too addicted to easy bullshit and too blind to see the chains closing in, they beg for more surveillance, more debt, more middlemen.
That's exactly why #Bitcoin isn't the world reserve money it should be yet: most are too goddamn weak to hold their own keys and keep selling to custodians.
Break the damn cycle. Self-custody. HODL like your freedom depends on it because it does!
Waitress: Visa or Mastercard
Me: Lightning
She vanishes for 45 min then returns and says "We don't accept #Bitcoin yet - so cool hihi"
Slowly but surely 😂
Most folks today wouldn't know the difference between #Bitcoin, a CBDC, or a donut as long as they can tap it and move on.
People learn quickly once the money stops. Tick Tock.
You might be right about the lengths they are willing to go to. History says they will try everything. Crises, fear campaigns, coercion, blame shifting. None of that would surprise me.
But here is the part I fundamentally disagree with. Winning is not defined by permission, convenience, or mass adoption on their timeline. It never has been.
Power only looks absolute until people stop complying. Every system that relied on total control collapsed the moment enough people routed around it. Bitcoin is not a product you ask permission to use. It is a network you opt into and build on, especially when things get uncomfortable.
If they shut down ramps, people build P2P. If they criminalize wallets, people hide keys. If they ban transactions, markets go underground. That is how every prohibition in history has ended. Not cleanly, not comfortably, but inevitably.
Fear is their strongest weapon. If everyone waits for perfect conditions, then yes, they win by default. But good people do not win by waiting. They win by preparing, adapting, and refusing to internalize defeat before the fight is even forced.
Bitcoin was not created for easy times. It was created for exactly the scenario you are describing. The question is not whether they will try. The question is whether enough people are willing to take responsibility instead of outsourcing their courage to the system they claim to distrust.
Living in fear and accepting loss ahead of time guarantees only one outcome. That is the only scenario where this cannot be won.
#Bitcoin in self-custody.
Your Plan B.
Seed phrase backed up.
Keys in your hands.
Future in your control.
No one can stop you from seeking a better life
EXCEPT YOU!
👀What will you do if you wake up tomorrow trapped in a CBDC with a 20K limit? 🤔
There is no reason to fear CBDCs or digital IDs when a better alternative exists.
#BITCOIN IN SELF CUSTODY!
I genuinely do not understand why so many people feel stuck. Get out of your own way, learn a few things, take a few steps forward, and move forward instead of complaining.
#Bitcoin moves from the hands of those who don't understand it to those who do.
P2P Decentralized money incentives obliterates centralized ones.
Wishing everyone a healthy, happy, and safe Christmas Eve! 🥂
A CBDC is money for donkeys. Avoid this garbage.
Trusting 3rd parties with money is risky and foolish.
#Bitcoin in self-custody.
Respect yourself.
The feeling when stubborn mules experience the quiet horror of realizing that the money in their bank is not theirs, only permitted, and that access can and will be erased instantly, no matter where they live.
Don't say you were not warned.

Imagine selling #Bitcoin for gold or silver in a digital world 🤡
That's like trading in your computer for a typewriter or a fax machine.
🟠If you still need permission to use neutral money, or are afraid to do so, you are thinking like someone conditioned to comply. Break free, or risk losing everything that matters.

Self custody.
NoKYC is a bonus for privacy
👀 Everything happening in #Bitcoin right now is exactly what you should expect if you understand the threat it poses. This is the legacy system fighting for relevance, doing everything it can to separate people from their coins and from the only real path to freedom: self-custody. If all you care about is fiat price, emotion will shake you out and you will fail.
Bitcoin’s fundamentals are unchanged. They are stronger than ever. These dips are not warnings. They are opportunities for those who actually understand what they hold.
WE ARE BITCOIN.
Its success is on us.
Adoption is our responsibility.
Educate. Build. Innovate.
Stop outsourcing your sovereignty.
Stop worshipping ETFs and corporate treasuries.
That’s just the old, corrupt system in orange clothing.
Run your own node.
Hold your own keys.
USE the network.
If you’re waiting for permission or perfection, you’re the bottleneck.
#Bitcoin won’t fail because of governments or banks.
It will fail if WE do.
If you're working for Fiat money, you are working for free to earn worthless paper that doesn't even belong to you and requires someone else's permission to use.
Respect yourself. Demand #Bitcoin. Your future self will thank you.
If it’s not #Bitcoin in self-custody, it’s not Bitcoin. Debate it all you want, but without your private keys, you’re holding nothing but hot air.
I swear if there a way to short human beings, we'd be infinitely wealthy 😂
