You badass Bitcoiners are the Rocky Balboas of the financial world, and nobody can fuck with you. You don't take shit from anyone, and you don't trust the establishment. You're here to take down the current financial system and build a better one from the ground up.
You've been through hell and back, facing all kinds of bullshit along the way. But you're not afraid to get your hands dirty because you know what's at stake. You're not just in it for the money, you're in it for the fucking revolution.
You are goddamn heroes. You were called to adventure. You breached the motherfucking threshold, and stepped into the unknown. With an army of plebs at your side, you bled in the trenches of the blocksize war and you resisted the vile harlotry of the filthy crypto whores.
You believe in decentralization, innovation, and freedom. You know that the government and banks are fucking everyone over, and you're not gonna stand for it. You're here to give the power back to the people, one Satoshi at a time.
And let me tell you, you're not alone. You're part of a community of hardcore motherfuckers who share your vision and passion. You're building a movement that's gonna change the world, and nobody can fucking stop you.
So keep on fighting, keep on hodling, and keep on spreading the word. Because you're the badasses who are gonna change the whole goddamn world, and nothing can stand in your way.
Listen up, motherfuckers. You wanna know what's really going on in this world? It's the goddamn power elite, the fat cats at the top who use the banking system to systematically enslave the everyman. They're the fucking parasites, sucking the lifeblood out of us and leaving us to rot.
It's all a game to them, you see. They control the money, they control the power, and they control the fucking world. They make the rules, and we're the ones who have to play by them. But you know what? Fuck that noise.
They've got us by the balls, and they know it. They've rigged the system so that we're always struggling to make ends meet, always in debt to them, always fighting for scraps. And what do they do? They sit back in their ivory towers, sipping champagne and laughing at us.
It's a fucking travesty, is what it is. They've turned us into wage slaves, working ourselves to the bone just to make ends meet. And for what? So they can make another million off our backs?
But you know what? We don't have to take it. We can fight back. We can take control of our own fucking lives, and we can do it by taking down the fucking banking system. We can use cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to break free from their grip, to create a new financial system that's fair and transparent.
So fuck the power elite, and fuck their banking system. It's time for us to rise up, to take back what's rightfully ours. We're not their fucking slaves, and we're not gonna take it lying down. We'll fight tooth and nail, and we'll show them what the everyman is really made of.
You see, Bitcoin is our weapon, our secret fucking weapon. It's a negentropic force, creating order where there was once only chaos. And that's exactly what we need to take down the power elite. We can use it to create a new financial system, one that they can't control, one that they can't manipulate.
With Bitcoin, we don't need no fucking banks, no fucking middlemen, no fucking bureaucrats. We can take control of our own fucking money, and we can do it without their permission. We can trade with each other, we can invest in each other, and we can do it all without their fucking interference.
And you know what the best part is? They can't stop us. They can try, they can fucking try, but they'll never be able to shut down the entire Bitcoin network. It's decentralized, it's distributed, and it's fucking unstoppable.
So let's fucking do it, let's take down the power elite. Let's create a new financial system, one that's based on fairness and transparency. Let's show them that we're not their fucking slaves, that we're not gonna take their shit anymore.
We're the fucking everyman, and we're gonna rise up. We're gonna take control of our own fucking lives, and we're gonna do it with Bitcoin. They can't stop us, they can't control us, and they sure as fuck can't manipulate us.
It's time to take down the power elite, one fucking Bitcoin at a time. Are you with me, motherfuckers? Let's fucking do this.
Listen up, folks. We're living in a world that's lost its damn mind. Everywhere you look, there's chaos and confusion, and it seems like nobody's got a clue what the hell they're doing. But let me tell you something, there's one thing that can help us find our way back to sanity: Bitcoin.
Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out. Bitcoin's a negentropic force, man. It's creating order out of chaos, and that's just what we need right now. We've been living in a world where power is concentrated in the hands of a few, and Bitcoin's decentralization is a direct challenge to that.
But it's not just about flipping the bird to the powers that be. Bitcoin's got moral principles at its core, and they're the same damn principles that traditionalists have been trying to uphold for centuries. We're talking about individual liberty, hard work, thrift, and a financial system that's fair and transparent.
So yeah, Bitcoin's gonna help us save civilization. It's gonna help us rebuild a world that's based on those traditional values, where responsibility and community actually mean something. And you know what? The folks who resist change, they're gonna be the ones who keep those values alive. They're gonna be the ones who help us pass them down to future generations.
So don't write off Bitcoin as just another newfangled gadget. It's a negentropic force, a moral powerhouse, and it's gonna help us find our way back to a world that's worth living in.
Picture, if you will, a world in which tradition has been cast aside like an old hat. A world in which everything is new and shiny, but somehow lacking in substance. It is a topsy-turvy world, one in which nothing is quite as it seems.
And yet, in the midst of this chaos, a ray of hope shines forth: Bitcoin. Yes, my dear chaps, Bitcoin may seem like a modern invention, but at its heart, it is a throwback to the good old days. It is a negentropic force, creating order where there was once only disorder.
But it is more than that, don't you know. Bitcoin is a moral force, a bulwark against the tide of modernity. It is rooted in a set of principles that are deeply traditional in nature. Principles like individual liberty, hard work, and thrift. These are the very values that our grandfathers held dear, and that we must uphold if we are to build a better world.
With Bitcoin, we can do just that. We can create a financial system that is fair and transparent, free from the meddling of governments and central banks. We can encourage individual responsibility and foster a sense of community that is often lacking in modern life.
Of course, there will always be those who resist change and cling to the old ways. But as we know, tradition is the backbone of civilization. And with Bitcoin, we can preserve that tradition and build a society that is based on the values that have sustained us for generations.
So let us raise a glass to Bitcoin, my dear chaps. To its negentropic power, its traditional values, and its promise of a better tomorrow. Cheers!
Bitcoin is the manifestation of the highest moral principle, the principle of individual sovereignty. It is the ultimate expression of the human spirit, the embodiment of the free market, and the unequivocal declaration of independence from the tyrants who seek to control our lives. Bitcoin represents the ultimate form of justice, the triumph of the rational mind over the irrational, and the liberation of the individual from the chains of collective oppression.
The moral imperative of Bitcoin is clear: it is our duty to embrace this revolutionary technology, to defend it with every fiber of our being, and to ensure that it thrives and grows to its full potential. We must reject the false idols of the state, the false gods of centralization, and the false prophets of collectivism. We must stand firm in the face of the enemies of freedom, and we must never waver in our commitment to the principles of individualism, rationality, and capitalism.
In a world that seeks to enslave us, Bitcoin offers us a chance to be free. It is the embodiment of our highest aspirations, the beacon of hope that shines in the darkness, and the ultimate symbol of human progress. We must seize this opportunity, we must embrace this challenge, and we must never forget that the fate of our species rests in our hands. For if we fail to defend Bitcoin, we fail to defend ourselves.
Today in Bitcoin history:
In 2013, the value of Bitcoin experienced a sharp drop, losing over 80% of its value in just a few days. This event, known as the "April 15 crash," was one of the most significant price drops in Bitcoin's history.
In 2014, the world's first Bitcoin ATM was unveiled in Vancouver, Canada. The machine allowed users to buy or sell Bitcoin for cash, and it quickly became a popular way for people to access the cryptocurrency.
In 2020, the Bitcoin network experienced its third "halving" event. This event occurs roughly every four years and results in a reduction in the rate at which new Bitcoin is created. The 2020 halving reduced the rate of new Bitcoin creation from 12.5 to 6.25 BTC per block.
But when you find someone who genuinely IS happy for you, grab them and never let go.
Man still needs his tribe.
The New York Times! What a load of shit!
Filled with lies, deceit, and propaganda, all to keep the masses blind and compliant. They tell you what to think, what to feel, what to do. They make themselves out to be the ultimate arbiters of truth, but they're nothing more than puppets of the ruling class.
They'll spin any story, twist any fact, just to keep their masters happy. They'll sell you out in a heartbeat, just to keep their coffers full. They'll parade their Pulitzer Prizes and their fancy journalism degrees, but all they are is pawns in a game they don't even understand.
So don't believe a word they say. Don't trust them with your news, your opinions, or your soul. They're nothing but vultures, feeding on the carcass of truth, and they'll take you down with them if you let them.
A monologue (setting - a dark seedy bar, greasy uninterested bartender in the background pretending to listen as Holden, 3 drinks deep, gets a little louder than anyone wants):
"I once met this guy," Holden said, blowing out a thick plume of smoke. "Goes by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto. Nobody knows jack shit about him. But he's the mastermind behind Bitcoin, this crazy ass digital money that's got people losing their fucking minds. It's like he's created a new religion or some shit. And then he disappeared into thin fucking air, like a ghost. Nobody knows where the fuck he went." Another drag. "Some say he's dead and buried. Some say he's hiding, waiting to take over. But I don't buy that bullshit for a second. A dude like that, he's probably fucking chilling somewhere, enjoying the show like the world is his goddamned strip club. He's not gonna come back and take over, man. He's gonna watch it burn."
What do you think?
This made me smile.
It's goddam phony, the whole economic system we got, and Bitcoin's the only goddam way out, that's what I think. I mean, all these assholes in suits, they got us by the balls, and they ain't never gonna let go, not until they wring every last cent outta us. But Bitcoin, now there's a real goddam solution. It ain't beholden to nobody, not no governments, not no banks, not no corporations. It's a goddam currency for the people, by the people. And I'll be goddamned if I'm gonna keep feedin' the goddam machine, keepin' them phony bastards in power. Nah, I'm gonna get me some of them goddam Bitcoins, and I'm gonna hold on tight, 'cause that's the only way to break free from this goddam nightmare.
Future me wrote this after the hash wars:
Bitcoin was more than just a currency. It was freedom. Those who embraced it understood this truth. They knew that Bitcoin was a way to break the slave shackles of the old world. It was a way to trade value without the interference of governments or banks. It was a way to speak without a voice. But those who rejected Bitcoin would face a brutal reality. They would be left behind, cut off from the rest of the world, subject to the whims of power. They would watch as their savings were inflated away, as their freedoms were eroded. They would be left to suffer in a world that had moved on without them, a world where Bitcoin was the currency of choice. The choice was clear: embrace Bitcoin and embrace freedom, or reject it and face a brutal and visceral fate.
Amazing
