Good reminder that bitcoin was designed to help ppl you don't like, do things you don't like with it.

Learn to like that, or will be a rough ride.

Nostr too 🫂

One of the best answers I ever heard about #Bitcoin was someone who asked a hardcore bitcoiner, “You only talk about all of these great benefits, but what is the worst thing about Bitcoin?”

His answer was, “It’s going to grant all those same freedoms and benefits to the person who you hate most in the world. And there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Ironically, that’s what most people can’t give up. They can’t let go of the statist temptation of arbitrarily punishing people they don’t like, or are afraid of. nostr:note1wxevegymwd4vscqu3urkqsx4qsuma9qphkdhk9amru3pdr77fjxsdsc0xr

Just spoke at a real estate convention where the organizers spent the majority of the time explaining to the audience that the only reason real estate is an "investment" is because the money is broken.

Long after all the other vendors had packed up and left, the Bitcoin Mentor booth was still packed with people asking questions to learn more.

Bullish.

I have about 3000 sats that I received from zaps. I want to pass this on ⚡️

Sending 100 sats to first 30 people to reply to this post.

I just learned that 50-70% of the population doesn’t have an internal monologue.

I honestly can’t really comprehend this.

If you need permission to move the money it is jot your money

Could be a scam? Best not to answer phone calls. Call the number you know instead

I just love Monday’s when it’s a long weekend 😜🥂💜🫂

Politicians are shitcoins

it's working well enough for many of us that we barely touch bank accounts

where i live, payment cards are in the minority of adoption by local vendors... out of the three grocery/bar places within half an hour walk of where i live, one has a debit card terminal that he has sitting on the bench but not using it and not paying the subscription for the service because he doesn't make enough money nor is there enough demand... local people just use physical cash

so, if you compare bitcoin adoption on the basis of the land area where people have access to vendors who use these cards in the world as a whole... bitcoin adoption is not nearly as far behind it as it may look if you live in a city and 8 out of 10 vendors have card terminals

and for people stuck in situations like the southeast USA right now, cash is the only way, bitcoin is useless also

Absolute scarcity cannot be engineered in the open. It needs to sneak up on us. Grow roots in obscurity. Organic decentralization. Its true power and promise slowly unveiled. Until all of a sudden it is apparent. Non negotiable.

We had one shot, and it worked.

#bitcoin

People are too busy with the election, wars, TV series and work to have time to understand that central banks are robbing them in broad daylight.

Nobody gave a damn when innocent people in El Slavador were being slaughtered by gangs daily.

But now that El Salvador is safer than ever. Now that people can move freely on the streets. Now international institutions are deeply concerned about the country.

Strange.

It has taken many years but finally, my wife sent me this pic this morning

You’re not a Bitcoiner until you…

Buy Bitcoin.

But then you’re like wait, I need to get these coins off the exchange.

So you get a hardware wallet.

But then you’re like wait, this is a ledger.

So you get a cold card.

But then you’re like wait, it isn’t using a passphrase.

So you use a passphrase.

But then you’re like wait this isn’t multisig and multisig would be better.

So you buy 4 more coldcards and set up a multisig.

But then you’re like wait I can’t just do coldcards I have to guard against supply chain attacks.

So you buy a ledger again and probably a bitbox too.

But then you’re like wait, I haven’t geographically distributed these.

So you disperse them throughout the country.

But then you’re like wait, what about jurisdictional risk?

So you disperse them to multiple countries.

But then you’re like wait, what if I was tracked as I was placing the hardware wallets?

So you…

There’s actually no end.

It just keeps going like that forever.

Congrats you’re a Bitcoiner now lol 😂
