Bitcoin: A protocol where truth, not authority, makes law Bitcoin Educator @Cryptotakkies

When is the Dollar (and Euro) going to collapse?

It already is collapsing in front of your eyes.

It just happens slowly, so you might not have noticed yet.

But in the last 50 years the Dollar lost over 90% of it’s value.

Bitcoin is replacing all fiat currencies in front of your eyes. Right now.

Bitcoin is taking over.

Bitcoin doesn't care about our nations

it doesn't care about the boundaries drawn by our imaginations

it doesn't care about our flags or our affiliations

it won't acknowledge differences it sees no separations

it won't discriminate by city state country or continent

it has no opinions no beliefs no language and no argument

it doesn't have one it doesn't want to change your mind

it doesn't have a strategy or legacy to leave behind

Bitcoin is the truth, not my truth, or your truth, or even our truth

it is the truth, it is math

it is not an opinion someone has it is a fact

it is a bridge between the future and past

it is a way to make our value last

it is a bank account in cyberspace

away from any central banks or nation states

that print the fiat currency devaluing what people make

and make no mistake it's no mistake

money represents time

if they expand the supply your money's worth less over time

which means your time is worth less over time

inflation is a consequence of legalized crime

they are stealing our lives

that's how the systems designed

so every year a dollar made and saved is losing what, a dime

and this adds up over time

as purchase power declines

which makes stock markets rise

next to unemployment lines

and even if we get ahead we're always one step behind

because we're underneath their bottom line

we're hypnotized

until we only follow dollar signs

we put ourselves in debt on credit lines

and borrow just to fund our picture perfect lives

we borrow why

so we can buy something that we don't like

and pressing people we don't like

then put off paying full price

until the interest rates are hiked

we wind up paying twice

but 2020 brought us hindsight

it's like the blind leading the blind right

they sent us checks that we paid for ourselves

after the supermarket doubled all the food they put on shelves

and since everything's financialized

everyone's incentivized

to spend their cash on assets or invest in something centralized

it's getting harder to survive

but we're distracted cuz the revolution's televised

it's interactive cuz the world is dematerialized

it's all online so they feed us lies

in real time while we pretend we feel fine

but Bitcoin doesn't care it doesn't brag it doesn't boast

it doesn't want to drive a Lambo next to the Amalfi Coast

you will never make it happy it's not up when it's up

it doesn't have a fragile ego or a need to be loved

it doesn't want to moon it doesn't want to mine with diamond hands

it just does block after block it has no other plans

you will never hurt its feelings it's not down when it's down

it doesn't want your validation

it just solves the next equation

and that's what makes it so special no one controls what it will be

is it a global store of value or digital property

is it the internet's first real native currency

is it all of the above or something we have yet to see

cuz no matter what it is you can't deny that it is free

and isn't that democracy

disguised as a technology

isn't that a tool to tackle rising inequality

isn't that a moral reason to be using energy

imagine you're in Venezuela and the Bolivar is tanked

imagine you're in Argentina and they're running on the banks

imagine you're Ukrainian and watching incoming tanks

you either stay and fight or leave with only what your bags can bring

a refugee without a home without a land without your things

so you carry all you own as you flee with your beliefs

but now imagine you had everything you'd saved inside your mind

so you can take it with you even as you leave the rest behind

you can store it on a USB or memorize a line

so it redefines the very meaning of the word mine

see strangely no one's noticed yet but BTC's the only tech without a CEO PR team or offices

that's why maxis market through obnoxious memes and call it work

bitcoin is a decentralized global monetary system protected by an incorruptible software that's defended by a distributed network

which is hard to fit on a shirt

let's go with Bitcoin is hope

or have fun staying broke

it's like a digital immune system that's protecting the host

but the host doesn't care, it never has it never will

it doesn't celebrate success it doesn't want to close the deal

it's not on your side or my side, it doesn't have a side

so it's on every side which makes it an idea that will never die

This is the best poem about Bitcoin, written by IN-Q.

There are 2 types of people:

- Those that want to know more

- Those that want to defend what they already know

So many people are afraid of changing their mind, when most of their beliefs arent even theirs to begin with

If ur an economist, but still dismiss Bitcoin:

The Capital Strip Mine by Allen Farrington is a thorough critique of modern economic thinking, focusing on the dangers of prioritizing consumption over investment, the consequences of financialization, and the dysfunctions of a debt-based monetary system.

Today’s tech giants are the new robber barons—not of oil or railroads, but of our attention and perception.

Platforms monetize our data and control what we see, trading freedom for “frictionless” connection.

Open protocols like Nostr offer a way to reclaim digital sovereignty and resist this new empire.

Protocol over platform. Freedom over control.

New research from the University of Salento challenges the mainstream narrative about Bitcoin’s environmental impact. An econometric study by Jacopo Graziuso found that in countries where Bitcoin is present, emissions and overall energy consumption actually decrease. The analysis—covering data from 171 countries between 2009 and 2024—shows that Bitcoin’s presence is linked to a reduction of 39 megatons of CO₂ equivalent.

Why? Bitcoin mining often seeks out the cheapest and cleanest energy sources, acting as a “buyer of last resort” for surplus or stranded power. Examples include reactivating hydro plants in Italy, supporting renewable microgrids in Africa, and stabilizing power grids in Texas. Innovations like immersion cooling and heat reuse further improve mining efficiency and sustainability.

The thesis argues that the real issue is not energy consumption itself, but pollution—and that Bitcoin can actually drive the adoption of renewables and help optimize energy use worldwide. As mining technology and grid integration improve, Bitcoin could become part of the solution to global energy and emissions challenges.

We don’t need to use less energy—we need to generate and use more of it to boost global prosperity.

The key is switching to better, cleaner sources.

#Bitcoinmining is set to play a major role in driving the transition to greener energy.

An amazing example:

Bitcoin is digital, not virtual. The rules of Bitcoins difficulty adjustment do not simulate physical laws, they are brought into existence because of physical laws.

Did you know that billions of people worldwide don't use a bank account?

Here are some countries with a high percentage of unbanked adults:

- Pakistan: 79%

- Egypt: 73%

- Nigeria: 55%

- Indonesia: 48%

- Bangladesh: 47%

- El Salvador: 36%

These are just a few examples; many more countries have high rates of unbanked individuals. #Bitcoin could offer an alternative for the "underbanked" and "unbanked" worldwide.
