 Sometimes the world can feel so small. 

#Bitcoin  arrived without a moment to spare, as the banking system entered a death spiral.

We’ve devolved into suspicion, hate and war. That our enemies can reach us within minutes becomes all too present in mind.

But we have hope now.

Hope that we can demonetize the fraud and arrogance of fiat. Hope of ending their infinite war machine.

Hope to breathe, and feel, and dream, and invent like we once did, so we may make that final leap across the vacuum, towards a billion worlds.

Our sky become limitless. 
 Beautifully written and deep compassionate concern for humanity here. To think that we are only 15 years into this experiment is really wild. Given how entrenched and coded into the culture the fiat system is, it’s kind of amazing how far we’ve come already, even though we’re all still taking our baby steps. 
 Thanks Cosmo 🙏 - yeh it’s amazing how fast things have begun moving. I can hardly imagine what another 15 years brings.
