After having all my bank accounts frozen by the courts, I understood the importance of Bitcoin, self-custody, and anonymity. The power of truly owning your wealth is something transcendental. Anything the State can take from you with the stroke of a pen—your car, house, bank accounts—isn't really yours. It's just a fictional representation of ownership. Depois que tive todas as minhas contas bancárias bloqueadas pela justiça eu entendi a importância do Bitcoin, da auto custódia, do anonimato. O poder de ser dono do seu próprio patrimônio é algo transedental. Tudo que o Estado pode te tomar com uma canetada... carro, casa, contas bancárias... não é seu, é apenas uma representação ficticia de posse.

If there’s a downside to being a Bitcoiner, it’s that any conversation in social settings that isn’t about Bitcoin or related topics starts to feel completely boring.

A intenção não é bater papo com ele, pode até servir pra isso, caso esteja em uma festa e outras pessoas estiverem usando você é capaz de interagir sem precisar de Internet. O principal objetivo do bitchat é transferir Bitcoin sem depender de internet, qualquer celular, independente de crédito ou saldo ou plano ou wi-fi é capaz de transmitir pra qualquer endereço via bluetooth.

To slow, sucker! Block this!

1933: President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102, which required all citizens to turn in their gold coins, bars, and certificates to the Federal Reserve. The goal was to combat the economic crisis of the Great Depression and prevent gold from leaving the banking system.

1934: The Gold Reserve Act formalized the measure, prohibiting private ownership of monetary gold and transferring all gold from the Federal Reserve to the U.S. Treasury.

1974: President Gerald Ford signed a law that repealed the ban, and starting on December 31, 1974, American citizens were once again allowed to buy, sell, and own gold legally.

The only thing you can say with 100% certainty that truly belongs to you is Bitcoin. Your wife or husband can leave at any moment. Kids? There are plenty of empty nests out there. House, money in the bank, cars, yachts, or any other material thing—these can all be taken by the justice system whenever it wants. Never forget the gold confiscation from 1933 to 1974. Not even your soul truly belongs to you. If you want to own something you can truly call yours... accumulate BTC. But please, don’t leave it on exchanges—always use self-custody. Not your keys, not your coins.

Que bom, a felicidade contagia e você se torna uma pessoa melhor.

Honestly, the best way to get people into Bitcoin and decentralization is not by pushing it on them. Most people who are super against it aren’t dumb — they’ve just seen the worst side of it: scams, hype, speculation.

What about to start from real-life stuff. Like, “Has your bank ever blocked your money?” or “You ever notice how your money buys less every year?” When people feel the pain, they’re more open to the idea.

Also, don’t throw a bunch of tech terms at them. Just say something like “it’s like digital gold that nobody can freeze or print more of.” That hits better.

And if they’re curious, show them. Help them download a wallet, send a few sats, let them feel it. That’s way more powerful than words.

Stories help too — like when Canada froze protester bank accounts, but they couldn’t touch Bitcoin. Or how people in Argentina or Venezuela use it to survive inflation.

Most importantly: don’t argue. Just plant the seed. Let them come back when they’re ready.

Bitcoin’s about freedom — and freedom is something people have to discover for themselves.

Autoconhecimento? Entender o que se passa com você, saber lidar com suas emoções, controlar seus impulsos. Ser você, sem se importar com a opinião dos outros.

I told my therapist about my crippling anxiety. She said, 'You’re not special — everyone hates themselves.'
