The birth of #Bitcoin is like a flower breaking through the stony ground, spring and birdsong replacing harsh winter & a morning ray of hope with a new song to sing.

#Bitcoin teaches you patience and patience is not just about waiting…it is mainly about how you behave while you are waiting.
It turns out that the killer application for #Bitcoin’s reality is other human beings. Build a world that people want to inhabit, and the inhabitants will come.
#Bitcoin
I have now started believing in larger powers of #Bitcoin.
I believe it is something which is unexplainable. The only person that you can explain it to is yourself, not even to others and there is no other way.
No matter how many words have been said and written by all the great masters of #Bitcoin, no amount of words anybody has ever written in this entire planet will help anyone to experience what is there unless they experience it themselves.

The primary Incentive to save in #Bitcoin is that it represents an immutable right to own a fixed percentage of all the world’s money indefinitely.
If the problem is the printing of money, then the antidote is a form of money that cannot be printed, which is what #Bitcoin represents. There will only ever be 21 million #Bitcoin and that is the fundamental value of #Bitcoin.
#Bitcoin isn't trying to replace or fight against the existing financial system, but rather create an alternative, decentralized, and transparent system that operates independently of traditional fiat currencies and governments.
As a bitcoiner, I feel very happy these days when I think of Julian Assange…he is free and I feel very happy for him and his family. He fought for me and for all of us. Forever Grateful.
#Bitcoin
You don’t save #Bitcoin because you are scared to spend, you are saving because you want something different, which is independence.
And independence is going to give you so much pleasure than the big house or that big car would.

The best way to initiate a new spiritual journey is to erase old beliefs that no longer stir ones spirit, ones which never did.

“The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the transition to the Information Age”
>>> ”The Information Age will put unprecedented power in the hands of the individual. Armed with the power of microtechnology, telecommunications, and personal computers, individuals will be able to conduct business, amass wealth, and communicate globally with a level of independence that is unparalleled in history. One of the key innovations driving this shift will be digital money, which will allow for secure, private, and instantaneous transactions across the globe. This new form of currency will transcend national boundaries and governmental controls, ushering in an era of unprecedented individual empowerment and economic freedom."
>>> ”In the digital age, individuals will be able to leverage new technologies to achieve unprecedented levels of financial independence and security.”
>>> “Digital currency will create new opportunities for wealth creation and preservation, allowing individuals to accumulate & transfer wealth more efficiently.”
>>> ”With the advent of digital money, individuals will have the power to protect their wealth from confiscation & devaluation by governments.”
>>> ”The emergence of digital money will fundamentally alter the balance of power between the individual and the state. "
>>> ”As individuals gain the ability to encrypt their communications and transactions, states will respond with draconian measures, attempting to crack down on what they perceive as threats to their authority."
>>> ”The state will employ all its coercive powers to try and prevent the erosion of its tax base and control over economic transactions, even if it means violating civil liberties."
>>> “Expect a backlash against technological advances that undermine state power, with laws and regulations aimed at limiting the use of encryption & other privacy tools.”
Eric Hughes in “A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto” wrote:
“Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn’t want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn’t want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.”
>>> ”In their desperation, governments may even resort to criminalizing the mere possession or use of certain technologies, branding them as tools for criminal activity.”
>>> ”In the final analysis, the struggle between the state and the sovereign individual will be a defining feature of the information age, with each side deploying ever more advanced strategies to outmaneuver the other."
>>> “As more people embrace decentralized technologies, the collective power of individuals will grow, making it harder for governments to impose their will.”
>>> “The efficiencies & capabilities of digital technologies will outpace the regulatory framework of states, making it impossible for them to keep up & enforce their laws effectively.”
>>> “Individuals will increasingly move their assets & operations to jurisdictions that offer more freedom and less regulations, forcing states to compete for residents & capital.”
>>> “The competition among jurisdictions will force states to reduce their size & scope, as they vie to attract more capital & labor.”
>>> “In the long run, the adaptability & resilience of individuals will enable them to overcome state-imposed constraints, as they innovate & find new ways to thrive”
>>> ”The decentralization of information will lead to the collapse of the state's ability to monopolize truth and impose ideologies."
>>> “Governments will no longer be able to control the flow of capital or labor. People & money will move freely, seeking the most favorable conditions.”
>>> ”The legitimacy of the state will erode as people realize they can achieve security, justice, and prosperity without it."
>>> ”The cost of projecting power across borders will become prohibitive, making it difficult for states to maintain empires or even large territories.”
>>> ”The rise of the sovereign individual will lead to a flowering of personal freedom and self-expression, as people are no longer constrained by the dictates of centralized authority."
>>> “As individuals gain greater control over their own lives, there will be a resurgence of creativity & innovation, driven by the liberated human spirit.”

“As humans, we always overestimate the potential of a technology in the short term and underestimate it’s potential in the long term”.
"Vires in Numeris” which stands for “Strength in Numbers”.
“With #Bitcoin you are electing to put your money and faith in a mathematical framework that is free of politics and human error” .

Even with superior economics on his side, and with significant wealth, a citizen will be a lot less tempted to oppose a domineering status quo if he doesn’t also have credible strategies for both defense and escape.
In the 21st century, the defensive technological suite available for people who question the economic status quo is cryptography—which can enable privacy and protection from asset seizure.

Aside from being the most invested in the #Bitcoin economy, millennials as a cohort are expected to control the largest share of disposable income by 2029.
