 So many people work 2,000 hours or more a year where they’re expected to be loyal to a company that will never do the same for them, and consider themselves lucky. 

They’re offered investment plans that are limited to what their employer chooses for them so decades down the road they might have a shot at a comfortable retirement. 

They take on debt to get an education, to keep up with inflation, and to fund their lifestyles. 

Most don’t learn how to save what they earn on their own, and expect their banks and financial planners to offer them something, anything, to keep them from going under.

There is an alternative, of course.

It’s called #bitcoin.

We have a new option now, use it!  #Bitcoin

 Investment plans? Lol 
 Let's get you in a conservative low-risk target fund with a mix of blue chips, treasuries, and managed growth equities. 
 Oh I hear bonds are down lately, gov is the safest right? 
 Always trust the government, sir. They are serious people who are looking out for your best interest.

Let's get you into a cage, you'll never be able to break free from 
 Vanilla 401Ks are scammy AF, but there are ways through some brokerages to break out on your own and buy whatever you want within the retirement account, like load up on… (trigger warning) The ETF.
