 Eric, you  more than anyone I’ve met in the Bitcoin space, have given me permission to say the simple word “no”

You highlight this with posts like this so so well. “No” I do not have to give my time & energy to a system that doesn’t care about me

Not just does this come down to our money, but also where we choose to spend time online, & how we talk to each other 

Inspiring stuff 

Deep down it’s so obvious what’s more important. I am guilty of letting the fiat mind creep back in

“Oh how can I promote my business if I don’t use X?” Or “I’ve spent years creating content, I can’t walk away from it, can I?”

Time to build a whole new world isn’t it! 

Ps - I am just remember how all the social media companies were censoring on behalf of the Australian government anyone with a counter narrative to Covid. Yes this was when I really started to pay attention to censored communication. & yes, central Melbourne in 2020/21/22 lockdowns was as close to living hell as I’ve ever been 
 Do you still live in Melbourne brother?
They shot rubber bullets at people for not taking an illegal experimental jab !!!!
How can anyone possibly live in Australia after that? 
 I've moved to Byron Bay. Took a few years, but we wanted to try something different

I was at a protest with my wife & daughter when the police started firing those bullets

Absolute madness

 
 I also live in Australia but am leaving for El Salvador as unforgivable what they did here and exposed who they really are
I am all in Bitcoin including Super 
Hope you can join me and exit FIAT 
Bitcoin is hope!!! 
 If I was more mobile, ie didn’t have a young family, then for sure I’d be looking at a similar move

But for now decided to make the best of the situation on the ground here 

Plus sceptical of “out of the pan into the flame” type vibes ie make a big move to the wrong place 

Time will tell if just procrastination… don’t own any physical real estate any longer in favour of btc 

So in theory we can go whenever! Got to get baby 3 born first, due in 2 weeks, then update the plan 
 This seems to be a common answer for those with families which is understandable 

I want to help Bitcoiners with this dilemma 
Am curious if you would move if there was free accommodation for six months ?

There are a lot of families from Australia and Canada in El Salvador also  
 It’s not a cost thing per say, but more of a family ties thing 

Tbh there is so much that goes into this type of decision! 
 Thats a long journey from Aus! Good thing is you can spend with lighning there. Crypto to Fiat becoming extremely difficult with all the KYC and AML.
