 It’s ok to admit you’re only in bitcoin to get rich. Bitcoin is secured by human greed. We need people like you. 
 I’m not but nothing wrong with feeling financially secure 
 Why not ? 
 I’m not interested in being rich, however I do believe in a freedom to save and be outside a corrupt inflating system designed to steal my time and effort. The fact my kids may well be more secure in the long run because of Bitcoin is also great. 
 Rich just means financially independent. And that means full control of your time. Like spending more time with your children

 
 Rich can mean lots of things, not all positive. 
 Thanks dude ✌️🫂🫶 
 It’s about owning your time 
 Rich = Owning your time = Rich

Embrace the word. It's good to be rich 
 People cant do anything without financial security.

Fix the money.
Fix the world. 
 I work to get rich. I'm in Bitcoin to preserve my effort.  
 I like sound money.

I like when money appreciates over time instead of depreciates.

With that said, the idea of Bitcoin is now personal. I’d be in Bitcoin for a long time, even if I was getting poor. Proven on the ride from 69k to 16k. 
 I’m in Bitcoin because it’s more important than Love and relationships /s 
 This made me laugh. Good subtle reference 
 the incentives align perfectly 
 I am 99% in bitcoin to get rich. 

1% has a donation (pumping their bags) to every bitcoin holders in third world countries  
 I’m here because I believe but I will take those beneies 
 I’m in it for the peaceful revolution in a corrupt finacial system. Gaining wealth because of it is justified 🤘🏼 
 Not one of them makes any sense to me 
 I'm headed for the exit. 
 Most here want to be freedom-rich to freely decide what they do with their scarce time.
Nostr crowd doesn’t look very materialistic. 
 See  @LynAlden 's recent post. I prefer that emphasis.

 I'm 'in bitcoin' to stop getting poor.
