🇵🇱🇬🇷🇪🇺 In symbiosis with #Bitcoin

The stock market, in it's current form, is just another part of the fiat pyramid

Fiat "money" has distorted all prices. We need to wait for bitcoin to fix this 😉

Thank you kindly for the reply.

🚨I have a proposal for you, or to anyone else that may read this.

Im new, so gentle pls, as my understanding is there’s place on Damus called “nests”, where people can talk to one another. Have a real conversation with words & not just short text.

Would you, or I open the floor to anyone else reading this, that may be interested in “nesting” (or whatever they call it) with me to explain why I should be exchanging all my fiat money to bitcoin.

Chose the day & time.

I understand the various major issues with banking, I’d like to think most realize there is many issues. Issues which I believe can’t be fixed with money, but requires social change. My question are not around broken banking.

But here’s where I struggle & where my lack of education is at.. with the fact that to me I can’t see past bitcoin being anything more than an investment for those that have “larger incomes” & can afford to use bitcoin as an investment strategy, instead of a currency with real actual use. Perhaps many people on here have large disposable incomes, sadly I do not, so for me live & pay bills, fiat is only option. I can’t live off bitcoin, it will not feed, cloth, give me a roof. And I also don’t have extra fiat just kicking around to “buy bitcoin in the dips”, or “stack bitcoin for rainy days”. Fiat money that I have, I need, so to speak.

Last I checked, large percentage of the population lives similar to me. So to convince me to try live off the grid without fiat does not seem realistic or possible.

Bitcoin mining, wallets, storage, and all that goes along with it, is also extremely difficult to understand, no matter how many YouTube videos I attempt to watch on the material. That fact alone is huge deterrent; coupled with fact that most other normies feel the same way, and they don’t understand it either.

And perhaps it’s just my own feelings, but I do feel like I get shamed in places like these when I question things, or don’t understand. If bitcoin folks want normies to grow & swallow the pill, most would like to know what they are signing up for.

So I openly invite you… or another… to teach me on this subject.

I read all the time on Nostr, let’s “pill the normies”, so here I am, who wants take crack at it.

Who says you should switch to the bitcoin standard? Just save some of your money for the future. Even if you're buying with 10 slave tokens per month

Your net worth has absolutely nothing to do with it. Most of us are poor plebs (former fiat slaves) who simply don't want to be robbed of all our financial wealth

Investing means buying a company to receive dividends from it.

The stock market nowadays is mostly price speculation: I buy stock because I want to be able to sell it at a higher price in the future. Who has time and energy for that? Most people don't

Will paying ⚡️400,000 for those two vintage slavery tokens be considered a lot in the future?

It's not about wanting to share wealth the rest of us, it's simply about not stealing from us. And that's done by a veeery small number of people. if they weren't stealing from mu, we'd create our own wealth, we don't want any of their wealth, they can keep it, just hands off of ours and we'll create more and more of it, to everyone's benefit

Ah, got it, I had assumed you met at random

Cool story nevertheless! A bit like people used to do in the 90s, when you'd meet up with an almost complete stranger met on mIRC or ICQ

I don't think I could go that far. for the first time I'm in life I've been able to put aside some fiat as an emergency fund. It feels good knowing i could live off of it for a few months if I stopped working. Everything else, that's a different story 😛

Are we calling it postr now? Posts and other stuff transmitted by relays?
