We had 5 kids, I'm 61. One thing I see universally is the "Public" (I would say Government controlled) education system does NOT teach kids to think/learn.

The system teaches them to be process followers with limited knowledge and limited ability to derive their own understanding (think). This has to be intentional IMO.

We put our kids in Montessori school -and I was hell bent on teaching them how to think first. We NEVER did for our kids what they can do for themselves (hard as a parent). They are all very successful - there might be one of the 5 not financially independent in their mid 30s (some/alot of that has to do with buying a lot of Bitcoin).

All said because my 'faith" in people comes from the fact people can learn to think. They can read. They can dream. They can work.

We just can't force them, it has to be taught - and we need more teachers. We need more choice in schools. And obviously we need more understanding #Bitcoin which is the ultimate in free thinking.

I believe we can, and will get there but it's likely the current older generations will not do so well. Mostly.

Nurse as long as you can then transfer to food. I'm a guy, but we had 5 kids - wife nursed (and for first 2 she worked) almost up to a year and froze milk to get over a year to 18 months. Start freezing milk right away so you can trick husband into getting up at night (and have milk for the later months).

It's HARD getting started - but worth it.

There is no good baby formula.

It's a little dystopian but a thought provoking story that really draws you in. "The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047"

If you are buying/holding #Bitcoin it will really draw you in. 😃

Your mentions at Bitcoin Atlantis sparked a LOT of people.

Also, better tools now - primal is better than prior offerings.

Just read reviews and ordered Super Imperialism. Yes, it looks of similar theme as Hidden Repression but having data/information/understanding from multiple views is valuable.

Thanks! You will really like Hidden Repression!

Everyone should read nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu book, "Hidden Repression" - it's outstanding and explains his post.

It's worth the read, even if you already believe #Bitcoin is freedom money.

I guess I don't believe market use of #Bitcoin use will be completely captured.

That's the key statement.

I have faith people will want to be free from the state - at some point (hard to see currently).

Solution:

1. Pay with #Lightning or #Bitcoin

2. Pay with paper cash (I do as much as I can since many places don't take Bitcoin).

It's that simple.

HODL enough #Bitcoin that the average growth each year is 1.5 times your needs. Example: if you need $200,000/year then u want $300,000 asset growth average per year. If u expect 30% growth, you need $900,000 in Bitcoin - you also need two year reserve to weather the draw downs in price - so cash balance of $400k.

Are our expectations for MUCH higher price?

I think so - so this ATH is just getting started. Prior ATHs where at peak excitement and bull runs in #Bitcoin.

I think we will see that euphoria once we hit $250K. A little around $100K!

Exactly! The people went INTO the corrupt system, the same corrupt system the Elites used and tried to play their game IN THEIR SYSTEM. That was the problem.

It's not the same with respect to the FACT GME was not a good investment and Bitcoin is new money. They are VERY Different.

But the SAME concept does apply.

-With GME regular people figured out the GAME of money/investing and stuck it to the Elites that run companies into the ground at GREAT financial gain using rules/laws that are rigged in their favor.

-With #Bitcoin regular people have figured out the GAME of money/currency and are sticking it to the Elites that run the world. NO MORE using Central banks to rig the system in favor of the Elites over the working class.

Buy Bitcoin daily (not the ETF). Move to cold storage every few grand. HODL 5+, preferably 10+ years min (if you do you will never sell because everything will be priced in Bitcoin). Enjoy.

(along the way, read and develop skills that are useful)

I get where you are coming from. And the video, "...what happened to this community..." I understand.

I don't disagree with you at all that you don't need laws or rules but 'society' will be diverse - some will want sidewalks where they live, others bike trails. There will always be rules and laws, even with Bitcoin.

And there will be representatives that are elected that help provide some of this - either privately or publicly. It's how you build community, business, technology.

As #Bitcoin grows I'm sure some will be disappointed where it goes - as it expands to the world, and more widespread views.

What we can ALL rely on is the base layer - by running our OWN NODE! And until we are living on the Bitcoin Standard, we will need to deal with politicians. Even more of an issue in 3rd world where dictators are still trying to control everything (in many cases funded by US/IMF sadly).

So I'm not begging Politicians - but I'm still going to vote for those that have a belief in 'permissionless' money and abandoning KYC.

Is the world ending?

No, the world is not ending - but the old world of Oligarchs and Elites running everything through corrupt money/currency is over. We are in the middle of that transition now as #Bitcoin eats everything.

What's interesting is real money will provide to the working class what the communist have always dreamed - a level playing field where everyone is valued not how close they are to the money printer, but how hard they work. But we got here through individual freedom, not central collectivist control.

Will the political divide disappear? Maybe not all of it, humans have agendas that others don't agree. But the big issues should decrease, a lot.

We need to vote for Bitcoin candidates - and develop laws that protect Bitcoin, and do away with KYC laws.

Ask all your elected officials about KYC - what is their stance?

The Government has no businesses in personal finance unless someone breaks the law.

Until then there is coinjoin and Hodl Hodl. https://hodlhodl.com/

Think of the ramifications of this. An open ledger, that no one can see? 🧐 I know this seems like the solution, but back up a layer - it's the open ledger that is part of making Bitcoin, #Bitcoin.

The solution is vote for Bitcoin candidates and let's get some rulings on how owning Bitcoin in self custody is a constitutional right. We also need to eliminate KYC laws. Of course if people break the law, and it's proven, then their finances are open season. Until then it's NONE of the Governments business.

It's just a term used - mostly with option traders to describe big moves (some people have definitions for the move but there is no formal definition). I see it a lot with Bitcoin used to describe large candlestick moves.

Omega measures the percentage change in an option's value with respect to the percentage change in the underlying price. So when a big move happens someone may say, "We gettin' a [big] Omega move today!" With options trading you can have massive moves either way.

Great site to see - Bitcoin eating the world putting in new highs against most fiat currency.

Maybe Google searches will wake up?

Be sure to get them reading and learning. That way the volatility won’t blow them out. I have watched a lot of people come and go because they couldn’t handle the down swings long enough to enjoy the upswings!

I genuinely hope you are right!

We had 5 kids - all are loaded with Bitcoin. They were all raised to 'think first' - never assume. Never follow.

I truly believe #Bitcoin parents will raise their kids to think - it just goes with the territory, at least for now.

Once global adoption, Bitcoin should encourage people to do the right things, and pursue VALUE in a career where people truly want your products/services. Hard money has always done this - no reason to think it will not this time!
