 Imagine a world where instead of needing a PhD in economics to save for the future, normal people could just expect their money to preserve and grow their wealth over time. 

One of the things I appreciate most about #bitcoin is the fact that it is so incredibly simple and eventually makes anyone claiming to be an expert in such things look like an asshole. 

Money doesn’t need to be and shouldn’t be complicated. 

The entire financial system, like government itself, exists to perpetuate the illusion that it is somehow useful and necessary.

I’m just glad I might get to see both burn to the ground in my lifetime.
