The worst thing you can do to a monetary system is increase the total supply of the currency.
Because of this, bitcoin will forever be better money.
The hardest money will remove degeneracy from the system. Mal-investments and over consumption will become a thing of the past.
The usual FUD of “a bitcoin world will be a world of less productive people” is just a Keynesian FUD.
No matter how low time preference is, it can never be zero, therefore, when the time is right, bitcoiners will allocate capital carefully to the reality they want to see.
Do not support this FUD. Crush it whenever you hear it. ✌🏾

FOR A FREE MAN, LIFE IN IT'S ENTIRETY IS A CONTINUOUS BATTLE AGAINST COLLECTIVISM.
IMAGINE THINKING YOU ARE NOT A SLAVE. LOL!!!
This is a short story of our lives.
So, you are traveling on a high way and you get accosted by a robber called John Snow. John knows that he has no rights to your property. He is in a hurry to take as much from you as possible knowing he is aggressing against you and will quickly leave you alone as soon as he obtains what he can from you. He also doesn’t follow you around saying you now owe him a percentage of your life’s work from that day onwards. Deep down, John knows what he is doing to you is wrong and will not want another man to do same to him.
Somewhere down the road, another group of robbers accost you and take as much as they can from you; However, unlike John who knows that what he is doing is wrong, this gang of men and women lay a claim to your life’s work and follow you around like a ‘La Cosa Nostra’ cartel to ensure you pay what you ‘’owe’’ them with the threat of being thrown into a jail. To make matters more grave, these men and women actually convince onlookers, your family and friends that they are robbing you so that they can take care of you on your journey and prevent you from being robbed by the likes of John Snow. As time passes, you begin to believe this gang cares for you. Whenever you make a new trip, you meet them on the high way and they convince you why they need to take more from you in order to help protect you from some emergencies you may encounter on your sojourn.
When you stop at any rest point and buy food or a bottle of water to quench your thirst, they are there to take a cut as they have convinced you at this point that without them, this trade is impossible and that if they do not take that cut for the trade, the restaurant will definitely cheat you. As you get to your destination and pay rent to sleep, they come in to take yet another cut because they need to protect you from the John Snows in that neighbourhood.
Now, this does not end here. Whenever you get a gift from a friend or your parents, they say you cannot have all that alone, so you need to give up some of it for the benefit of the onlookers. This would have been more bearable if not for the fact that they make you keep track of all you owe them and promptly send it in at a particular time each year as they cannot be bothered to do the work of robbing you all by themselves! They also need you to participate in helping them rob you. They say that this is a necessary step because whether you like it or not, you are an affiliate part of the gang and you cannot denounce the membership.
To cap it all off, while the mobile division of this gang is with you on this journey, the home division of the gang has broken into your home. They have come across the valuables you have acquired over the years as a backup for an uncertain future. Without your knowledge, the home division carts away a small portion of these valuables as a way to make up for the ever decreasing loot brought in by the mobile division.
YES, I HEAR YOU. GOVERNMENT TAXATION IS DEFINITELY vOLuNtArY AND INFLATION IS gOoD FOR YOUR PROTECTION. LOL.
#Bitcoin is Love, not Coercion.
There are 2 polarities in this world that human beings can choose to align with:
1. Service-to-others or ''The positive polarity''.
2. Service-to-self or ''The negative polarity''.
Service-to-others is the domain of production, voluntary exchange and entrepreneurship.
In this polarity, you use your time, energy and the natural factors around you to make products and services that better the lives of people and in exchange, humanity rewards you with wealth.
People in this polarity are usually very charitable to the less privileged.
The Service-to-others polarity is completely voluntary, works by freewill and does not require force to work. It is based on POWER, not FORCE.
Love is POWER.
On the other hand, Service-to-self is the domain of politics, theft and coercion.
In this polarity, your aim is to get as close as you can to the government through politics so as to allocate energy, time and property belonging to others to yourself and your chosen friends.
These people who polarise negatively usually appear, in the public eye, to care for the poor, but in reality, they take from the poor to give mostly to themselves after which they allocate the remaining to some poor who are chosen by the government via arbitrary means.
In reality, this polarity is not Service-to-others like they usually claim, but is a self-serving polarity. Evil things only exist and thrive by deception and masked with an appearance of ''doing it for the public good''. This is the fundamental reason why politicians are liars.
The Service-to-self polarity can only exist through violence, coercion and FORCE. There is no freewill.
This negative polarity always eventually fails because POWER is greater than FORCE.
The human spirit loves freewill which is based on Love = POWER.
The human spirit abhors coercion which is based on violence = FORCE.
In the end, Love conquers all.
Love is POWERful.
#Bitcoin is love and truth and POWER. 🙏🙏🙏

Bitcoin fixes everything.
EVERYTHING!!!
If bitcoin cannot fix it, then it was never a problem in the first place; It was just something you imagined as a problem and no coercion can fix it.
Fix the money, fix the world.
If you think you are having a bad day, just take out some time and think about this:
In some countries, committing suicide or attempting suicide is a criminal offence. 😳😮
It is impossible for anyone to give a reasonable argument why suicide should be a criminal offence. 😂
The only reasonable argument is that taking your own life reduces tax income for the government.
Un-fucking-believable!
Lord, send thunder already! 🤣
I used to think governments were unproductive.
I still do, but I used to too. 😊
Taking it further, I actually know they are anti-productive. Saying they are unproductive means they add nothing, but in reality, they take away from production and are best called anti-productive.
Saving money (or accumulating capital) is the first step towards civilization.
Nothing causes de-civilization more than Keynesianism.
Bitcoiners are doing it right.
''What makes a man feel uneasy and less uneasy is established by him from the standard of his own will and judgment, from his personal and subjective valuation. Nobody is in a position to decree what should make a fellow man happier'' - Ludwig von Mises on #Bitcoin.
It’s impossible to fix a corrupt system by replacing the people who run it. If you want change, change the system.
#bitcoin.
We just need the pawns (police, army) in the “monopoly of violence” to stand up against their masters (politicians and bureaucrats) and the land will be reclaimed.
What will it take to make this happen?
I guess failure of the slave notes with which they are paid.
#Bitcoin
There is no better point from which to enter the #Bitcoin rabbit hole.
A bank account is a 2 of 3 multisig between your bank, your government and you…and your government has the master key and xpubs.
Remember, it’s bitcoin or slavery.
