Few books explain Bitcoin’s importance beyond price like The Bitcoin Standard. Sound money, low time preference, civilization built on discipline instead of debasement, aye, that book should be required reading before any man is allowed to vote, borrow, or print a single coin.

But here’s a question I’ve been turnin’ over like a compass in rough seas:

Ammous argues that once sound money takes hold, society naturally shifts toward long-term thinking, stability, and higher culture. I believe the monetary foundation matters deeply, but do ye think sound money alone is enough to overcome human obedience, comfort, and the desire to be ruled?

Or put another way, if men are given honest money, but still crave authority, does Bitcoin change the world, or merely reveal it? Curious to hear how other sailors read that chapter. ⚓⚡

“Too shocking” be code for too accurate.

When the system flinches, ye know ye struck bone. 🏴‍☠️⚡

Arrr, Paco, while landlubbers stare at flickerin’ price charts like fools watchin’ tea leaves, ye took Bitcoin to sea and spent it where the wind actually blows.

Eight hundred days. Two-and-forty nations. Not a bank to beg, not a gatekeeper to bribe. Just sound money, grit, and proof earned the hard way, boot leather on foreign soil.

Proof of Work ain’t a tale of comfort, but of function. It shows the world what many fear to admit:

Bitcoin works when permission slips fail, when borders tighten, and when trust runs thin as rum at dawn.

Ye didn’t preach the code, ye lived it.

That be real Proof of Work, forged under sun, storm, and open sky.

Fair winds to ye, sailor. The ledger remembers. 🏴‍☠️⚡🟠

Aye silver be honest money, gold be timeless money, and Bitcoin be freedom money for the digital age. Different tools for different tides, all outside the crown’s grip.

Much respect to ye, Natalie. We’ve been watchin’ yer work for years, steady hand, clear compass, and true north every time. 🏴‍☠️

Aye, be careful what you become, in the pursuit of what you want.

Ahoy Nostr.
