I have sent this essay to more people than I can count. It is grounded in logic, free of jargon, and will enable you to see through grift (however well-meaning).

Bitcoin is just a bunch of lines of code which you can use for anything you want. Your impression of it is a reflection what you seek. Free people see freedom in bitcoin, criminals see crime.

In a free society, money will end up being scarce, and information will end up being free. Fiat world is the insanity of using violence to create scarcity in information that wants to be free, and using violence to create abundance in money that wants to be scarce.

There is a form of pride that is indistinguishable from stupidity, because it prevents people from learning new information and renders them incapable of changing their mind. They will double and triple down on being wrong, even when the consequences are severe.

To understand Bitcoin you first need to be humble enough to know that you understand nothing yet.

When currency fails to preserve its value, scarce assets are used in place as a savings vehicle. This attracts value in excess of their utility value alone, known as a monetary premium.

I'll stop buying Bitcoin as soon as someone can provide a GOOD explanation for why 2% inflation? Why not zero?

Nobody cares that Berkshire class A shares are at $700k+/share but you think retail will care about bitcoin at $117k? Let me put it differently. Do you care that Manhattan buildings are all $10M+ minimum now or do you need the price to go higher to admit there is no second

Once you've got Bitcoin brain, it’s basically impossible to understand how someone with FIAT brain thinks or feels. I had full FIAT brain only 5 years ago and I cant even imagine what that was like. I would literally spend 0 hours per day thinking about the FIAT ponzi,

So true

At which stage are you?

Some people don't want to be saved

Central Banks print money out of thin air and force you into higher risk assets to avoid currency debasement, then the government taxes you on the gains from selling those assets. It's all one big scam. Opt out with Bitcoin.

Mortgages extended from 25 to 30, then 40 years. Houses cost 20% of your salary, then 30%, 40%, and now 50%. Retirement age was 60, then 70, now 80. One income supported a family, then two, plus a side hustle. You could start a family in your 20s, then mid 30s and now barely

Nobody is trying to fix the problems we have in the world. Everyone is just trying to make enough money so the problems don't apply to them anymore.

We basically have to print money in order to pay interest on money that we’ve already printed And people want to say that a decentralized, finite, and censorship resistant protocol that does an entire audit of itself every 10 minutes is the scam Can’t make this stuff up

I used to have this mental illness where l thought logical arguments would change someone's mind

When people ask me why I own Bitcoin I just send them this video of Kamala Harris explaining how to fix inflation.

Few people realize how profound of an invention #Bitcoin is. It is on the same level as fire, the wheel, or the number zero. Let me try to say it in few words: Stealing (taxation, inflation, etc) rewards people who cause problems at the expense of people who solve problems.
