What makes explaining #bitcoin and #nostr so hard is the fact that they exist outside the worldview most people live their lives within. Asking someone to adopt them is like asking someone to stand where there's no ground or breathe where there's no air. Fiat has warped how people see everything and people take the new view as normal. Nothing lines up with that reality when you explain the problems Bitcoin and Nostr solve, so you're automatically dismissed. Telling someone their worldview is corrupted makes people fearful and closes them off to reason.

I don't know a better way to explain Bitcoin than by letting people feel enough pain from fiat to start questioning why things are so messed up at a fundamental level, and then introducing them to Bitcoin. Otherwise, there's no motivation to learn.

JUST IN: Craig Wright is not the creator of #Bitcoin  and he’s not Satoshi Nakamoto, Judge rules.

If El Salvador can be transparent with their reserves why can’t the United States government?

Why can’t we see the gold?

Describe the person to attends these events:

It’s actually funny; most know so little about money that they think govt fiat is the only way it could ever work.

While the truth is that fiat has barely existed for a blip and has been the worst performing, shortest surviving, & least reliable of any money type in human history.

Many genuinely think the worst money we’ve ever had has no chance of being disrupted.

I’m betting they are wrong.

#Bitcoin 😘

This is a sensitive topic but, with all my heart, yes.

Nothing makes a person more vulnerable to manipulation, more docile, more obedient, and more dependent on government than having children.

This is to say nothing about the fact that I consider having children to be the most obscene additional form of taxation. Spend 20 years of your life (minimum) creating a new slave for the system for absolutely nothing in return.

Want to try to teach that child something different than mainstream group think?

Good. Fucking. Luck.

They are only under your influence for their childhood and then you release them into the world where the cultural programming apparatus will undo any of your pathetic efforts faster than you can say Taylor Swift.

Careful with that kind of thinking.

Next thing you know you’ll be refusing to bring more slaves into the world and figuring out ways to painlessly kill yourself when the government thugs come to jail/torture you and take what’s yours.

Protest with your genitals (refuse to have kids), your voice (use #Nostr), and your wallet (save in #Bitcoin).

Fiat monetary inflation should be tax deductible.

The money is stolen and then put to use against you.

The government is literally stealing your life with taxes and fiat monetary inflation…

As a conservative example:

You start working at 20.

You work until you’re 65.

You pay +/- 33% of your income in taxes.

The government takes 1/3 of your working life…

They have stolen **15 YEARS** of your time, energy, and work.

And for what?

For roads? (LOLOLOL)

For a broken education system?

For a medical system that wants to keep you sick and medicated?

For the military industrial complex which gets rich off foreign forever wars you never agreed to?

And while they are stealing 1/3 of your life, they are PRINTING MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR, stealing MORE of your time/energy/life force through the destruction of your purchasing power.

The taxes you pay don’t even fund the government; an ever-growing pile of national debt does, fueled by money created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve System. The dollars in your bank account are worth less and less every year, as your purchasing power is systematically destroyed.

I am grateful #Bitcoin exists so I can opt out of this nonsense and save the value of my time and energy.

Anyway, have a beautiful day.

#Bitcoin at $0.069M just feels right.

Sadly, $0.069M will be transitory…
