 It's more obvious that Bitcoin is the future of global finance than the Internet was the future of information.

Early days of the Internet it wasn't obvious everyone would buy a computer and pay monthly for Internet. Newspapers were already free and delivered to your door.

It should be very obvious that people won't want money that makes them poor, that knows no borders, that isn't controlled by anyone, that can settle instantly, that doesn't require a monthly fee, the list goes on...

Bitcoin is at least 100x improvement over the system we have now in it's CURRENT STATE and we're not even done improving it. 
 I think most people couldn't concieve of why any of that matters.  
 Yep. Plenty of financially privileged boiling frogs 
 I can see the gears turning when I say censorship resistant payments. 
Why would anyone need that? 
Pays with Apple.  
 I find it so funny when people post about how "Bitcoin has stalled" or about how we are doomed if we do not find some holy grail soon.

Bitcoin is a solution to a millennia old problem and has solved it since its inception in 2009. It has changed very little since and not at all in ways which matter.

It's a beautiful thing. The winning will continue. 
 It works great for me.  
 We’re not done improving Bitcoin tools and they’re not done wrecking the dollar. 
 I’m so hyped on where the Bitcoin stack will be in another 15 years. It will do everything humans need in money and it will all be magically simple and easy. 
 Ya but it's not an improvement for the "powers that be"  
 Which is the point 😂 
 “Early days of the Internet it wasn't obvious everyone would buy a computer and pay monthly for Internet.” Maybe ✍️

Hence why open source is the best choice to give 99% of #humanity their #humanrights back #peacefully. Too many have become extremely wealthy off others work. 

The corruption is systemic & #Nostr is the fix. 

Note: Newspapers weren’t free. 😂 At least never when I was throwing them. 😊🫂 
 That’s right I was paying always. Ten years I was getting next day, printed in different city far away.  
 When something is good, it’s just a matter of time before it’s adopted massively.  
 It is not obvious that everyone would buy a hardware wallet and spend electricity to maintain an LN node at home.
