"#BITCOIN TAKES HUMAN GREED AND TRANSFORMS IT INTO FREEDOM" - This is my favourite quote from this wonderful interview.
I wonder does @Gigi mean that there is one group of people (The greedy group) who use Bitcoin with greed as their motivation, whilst at the same time there is a second group (The freedom group) who use bitcoin with freedom as their motivation?
The thing is I have noticed both sides of this dynamic operating in myself personally on an individual level. It is as if my own greed brought me to Bitcoin. But now, all of a sudden I am going through some kind of conversion experience where I feel the greed side of me reducing whilst the motivation for freedom is becoming much more pronounced.
Has anybody else felt this? I would be interested to hear your experiences. I guess Gigi is suggesting this occurs both on the individual and collective levels perhaps?

At a deeper level there is a profound truth shared. By far the biggest lesson Bitcoin teaches is THINK FOR YOURSELF
When you really awaken to this quality of Bitcoin it trumps any amount of Number Go Up mentality...

Ever wonder if #SatoshiNakamoto had a thing for crop circles? Yeah, I like to playfully imagine he was out there making them, mastering the art of staying anonymous. It's kind of his signature move, right? Crop circles are these incredible designs that just appear out of nowhere. No one knows who makes them. They're beautiful, a bit magical, and mysterious. Kind of sounds like Bitcoin, doesn't it?
Both #cropcircles and #Bitcoin aren't just about changing landscapes or economies; they're about altering our consciousness. They challenge us, stir something deep within, making us question the very fabric of our reality. We're nudged to confront a truth far from what we've been conditioned to accept.
P.S. This Crop Circle is from 2001, Milk Hill, Wiltshire, UK
I loved your Talk…. All that rant about how Satoshi took energy from our 3d world and digitized it in a way that was never done before. The time chain idea and how that is embedded in the internet realm for the first time…. Creating digital time and then slowing it down….. Boom!!! Seriously, I learnt so much from your presentation. Thank You
This weekend, I heard a lot of brilliant people say a many brilliant things about Bitcoin, a few voices echoed louder in my heart, inspiring me to share something deeply personal here on #nostr
Michael nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m said, "Bitcoin is for everyone," a reminder that this journey includes each of us, in our unique ways.
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m emphasized that embracing a decentralized platform is a choice—a decision to truly be ourselves. If i want it to exist (which I do) I need to use it.
nostr:npub1hk0tv47ztd8kekngsuwwycje68umccjzqjr7xgjfqkm8ffcs53dqvv20pf asked, "Who could I truly be if I was free?" while nostr:npub1mz704n7dsaw3jcj3kr5le45n97tqughyt5lxe3yv3xy3025hv3dsp5tl8g spoke of Bitcoin as the beginning of our own purification, not just financially but spiritually and psychologically.
Their words resonated with me, you see, I’m not a developer, or a technologist, but I AM someone who has been profoundly changed by the ethos of Bitcoin. I am a meditation guy, a consciousness explorer.
So, I'm sharing a meditation, a simple 15-minute pause from the relentless stream of thoughts, a journey from mind to heart. It's my gift to you, hoping to add a bit of peace, a moment of introspection, and maybe, a step towards realising our purest selves in this shared journey of transformation.
This is the real me, sincerely offering a piece of myself to a community that has given me so much. Let's explore together, what it truly means to be free and purified, in the true spirit of #Bitcoin. I hope you enjoy!
That made me laugh,
My first Bitcoin interview was 10 years ago today, right after MTGOX crashed. They wanted to know if Bitcoin was dead. 😏

That’s so cool 🙌
Totally agree Erik, and Thanks to your talk in Amsterdam and wonderful book, I found Nostr.. completely due to you…. So thank you man, I love it here and made some fabulous real friends already too!
