 Imagine still thinking #Bitcoin is not better money 🤡 
 
Stacking finite #Bitcoin when everyone else still believes in infinite fiat money is such a cheat code.

It's like wading ashore in a new land and convincing the native folk to give you all their gold in exchange for seashells.

They don't realize the island just over the horizon is littered with shells.

And they have no clue why they use shells as money.

It's just what they've always done.

They don't consider that gold may be more valuable in the long run.

So they give it up gladly.

If you're selling your Bitcoin for fiat today, your progeny are going to look at you like we look at those seashell-loving natives.

Except worse because the seashells were actually scarce compared to fiat 😂
