 LOVE this documentary by my buddy @ROCKSTAR. 
Hugely thankful for his and all the others work in contributing to #Bitcoin as a medium of exchange to move us from an extractive, rent seeking world —-to one where 8 billion people are in service of 8 billion people. 
We are the change we see in the world.

 You watched it at 2x speed? 
 there were private screenings in preparation for launch... 
 Aw man.  I was hoping to bust Jeff in a fib. 
 Yeah, sorry about that, Jeff is too good to be busted. Also, if you want into private screening groups for next launch - lmk. 
 Always watch at 2x speed but in this case was lucky enough to see an advanced screening. 
 Time is precious. 
 Jeff, your unwavering support of me over the past year has been a beacon that guided me towards staying focused on work even in the darkest of moments. It made a huge difference. Thank you for being a steadfast pillar in the community, not just for me, but for so many.

Onwards towards the world where 8 billion people are in service of other 8 billion people  ✊ 🗽

 BTC is being hijacked for the financial machinery. If we dont spend it and only speculate, we are far far doomed. 
 Could Mesh Networks solve this problem? Ask the visitors to install a client. Something around to do this? 😅 
 thank you @Jeff Booth 
 I run a business that accepts #bitcoin as payment using BTCPay. We give a 10% discount for orders paid with btc (https://arnzenarms.com). Even with this discount, it amounts to a little less than 1% of our orders are paid for in bitcoin.

I really think bitcoin, as a store of value, needs to take hold such that most people will have some bitcoin. Once it is common to have bitcoin, people will start trading it for goods and services.

I think we are still so early in this that I don't expect bitcoin, as medium of exchange, to outpace fiat for a very long time. 
 Awesome. Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
