Just a little frog trying to make his way out of the Matrix.

This year I want to become a more active user of #nostr and the #lightning echosystem. Happy 2025 everyone #2025

Talking to parents about #Bitcoin often feels like trying to explain the internet in the 90s. They see risk, scams, and volatility—because that’s what legacy media tells them.

But explaining #decentralization, #soundmoney, or the power of financial sovereignty often hits a wall of decades-old trust in banks and governments. It’s not their fault—they grew up in a world where the system ‘worked’ for most people.

The challenge isn’t just explaining Bitcoin; it’s unlearning the myths of a dying system.

Patience, persistence, and relatable examples are key, even if it feels like an uphill battle.

Legacy mass media mastered the art of shaping narratives and shifting the Overton Window to normalize their agendas.

We, too, must learn this skill—but for a paradigm that liberates rather than enslaves. #bitcoin isn’t just about money; it’s about #sovereignty , #freedom , and breaking centralized control.

By consistently pushing these ideas into the mainstream conversation, we can move the Overton Window toward a future where decentralization is the norm, not the exception.

The tools of influence are there—let’s use them wisely.

Mass media wraps Christmas in glitter and emptiness, selling us a fantasy of joy through shopping and spectacle.

It tricks us into chasing the perfect decoration, gift, or Instagram moment—while the real essence, connection and meaning, slips away unnoticed.

A hollow feast for hollow times.

Congratulations on securing your future, but what a tragedy it is that this is the only future left for so many.

Once, ambition meant building, creating, daring; now, for a generation, it means enduring bureaucracy and clinging to the safety of a paycheck. Not your fault, of course. You didn’t kill the private sector’s soul.

That honor belongs to a system that punishes innovation, rewards mediocrity, and strangles enterprise. But let’s not dress this up as progress. It’s a funeral procession for the dreams of a nation.

Hopefully, #bitcoin fixes this.

Testing…
