In a world dominated by centralized institutions, where the flow of money is tightly controlled by governments, banks, and financial elites, Bitcoin emerges as the ultimate masked vigilante.

GM - I cherish meditation every day
The meaning of our existence is not invented by ourselves, but rather detected.
To detect this inner calling, the meaning of our lives, requires both an embrace of solitude combined with the concentration needed to go deeply inwards into that solitude.
