Why Bitcoin leads to higher goals
You, me, everyone has physical, emotional, and psychological needs. It is part of being human. When those needs are not met: stress, anxiety, and distress follow.
People as a rule are completely unable to focus on higher needs and goals until their immediate physical needs are addressed. You just can’t worry about that stuff if you’re hungry, cold, and without shelter. Or maybe those immediate needs are met today but you don’t know about tomorrow or next week or a year from now. The psychological stress is still there. You know the feeling. The worry, the feeling that you can never rest and relax, the constant need for more. If only I had this debt paid I could relax. If only I had X amount of money i could be happy. It’s not greed, it’s the need to not have to constantly worry about the threat to physical needs to live.
Inflation and constant money printing destroy your ability to dream and plan long term goals. In stable western countries inflation is relentless at 2-3% per year, year after year, if we are lucky to live there and things are going to plan. That means that you have to make 2-3% more every single year just to maintain your current situation, never mind “getting ahead”. If you started behind or have a setback like a long period of unemployment or medical issues then forget it.
You are swimming against the current in the fiat inflation economy doing everything not to just get swept downstream. Five year plans, having the time and ability to learn, appreciative beauty, or any kind of self-actualisation is stupid and we have no time for it. Morals against theft, scamming others, or using others for quick profits is a luxury you can’t afford. You are just trying to not drown. They are not just stealing your time and wealth with inflation. They are stealing your dreams and a society that can afford morals and ethical behavior.
You can opt out with bitcoin. Saving in money that doesn’t steal from you levels the playing field. It won’t fix all your problems and it will not be immediate but once enough of your personal wealth is in bitcoin it will start to make a difference. Money that can not be stolen by inflation will allow you to finally take a breath. If you don’t have to worry about immediate needs then you are finally free to dream and plan for the future. You will not feel the need to abuse your fellow man for short term gain. Finally you can say Bitcoin fixes this.
