🧡 Helping your friends understand Bitcoin—without sounding like a lunatic?

That’s why I created the series: The Complete Bitcoin F.A.Q.

Short, plain-English answers to the most common questions we all get.

Here’s one you’ve definitely heard:

“Can someone just make another bitcoin and replace it?”

📎 Shareable post for the next time someone asks where bitcoin came from:

Let’s stop dancing around it: Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

No one “earns” a billion dollars.

You extract a billion.

From underpaid workers.

From deregulated industries.

From tax havens.

From stolen land, stolen labor, and generational exploitation.

Meanwhile, nearly 700 million people live in extreme poverty on less than $2 a day (source: World Bank). And we’re out here defending the people who could end global hunger with a fraction of their net worth but choose not to?

Let’s be clear:

You don’t get to be a billionaire without creating suffering.

You underpay. You outsource. You lay off. You lobby to kill regulations.

You exploit a system built to protect wealth—not people.

Why do we tolerate it?

Because we’ve been sold a lie: that “someday,” we might be rich too.

But statistically, you’re more likely to be struck by lightning than become a billionaire.

This fantasy isn’t harmless—it’s a weapon used to keep you compliant.

There is no moral justification for hoarding more wealth than entire nations while children die from preventable diseases.

Billionaires aren’t a sign of a healthy economy.

They’re a symptom of a broken one.

A society that lets a few live like gods while millions suffer is not free—it’s feudal.

Amazingly, over the last five decades, 79 Trillion dollars has been redistributed to the 1% from the lower 90%.

In the documentary Where To Invade Next, Michael Moore interviews the owners of a textiles plant in Italy and informs them that if they used American business practices, they could drastically increase their profits and asks them why wouldn’t they do that?

Their reply was, they don’t need to become “more rich”. They are already wealthy enough and bring enough in to enjoy their lives. The woman says clearly, “I’d rather see that go to the employees. To have real relationships with them, to see them happy. It’s amazing to hear people ask how your mother is doing, from a coworker.”

The power vacuum is full throttle, and the powers that be have become a snowball rolling down a hill, and we have reached critical mass.

I’m not left, I’m not right.

I’m a person. I think for myself.

It’s obvious that we are heading in a bad direction, and I hope leaders rise and the people stand up for themselves. Speak up, say something, anything is better than complacency and silence.

The problem with social (sorry, nostr doesn't fix this) is that we can't explore nuance. My interpretation of OP's observation is that there's something unnatural about the discrepancy of wealth between a billionaire and a pleb. Yet comments go right to Marxist.

"But Elon is a genius!"

Such hypocrisy when people who believe in "freedom money" fetishize someone who has amassed a shit bag of fiat.

NFTs were my "shit coining" phase. But if it weren't for NFTs and ETH, I never would've found bitcoin.

Yes, I did. Many times. LOL! I love cashu and I'm sure this has something to do with the mint or relay bc my zaps in/out of nostr are fine. I appreciate you chiming in 😄

500 sats to someone who can explain to me how to get these transactions confirmed or canceled. They were sent from other Lightning Wallets to my cashu.me wallet on Android and have been "pending" for 11 days. Zaps to/from Nostr have gone through without a problem. The mint is minibits. #asknostr

…No?

"No" sounds like a toddler temper tantrum.

How does Primal decide what it likes? I thought the whole point of this was that nobody could censor your post?

And why do we want him liquidated? I'm also a 5th grader.
