 Would you rather be rich in a captured world or of average wealth in a free world? 
 What's a captured world vs. Free world?
If I can has hand grenades, I'm happy. 
 FREEDOMMMMMMMM!!! 
 💪 
 Average wealth in a free world. 
Love the simple & slow life. 
 average but free

 nostr understands that there is no wealth greater than freedom 
 Rich. Captured. You can bribe your way to freedom, so you have the best of both worlds. It would be shit for the plebs, though... 
 Profile name answers this for you  
 I'd happily be poor and free 
 1000% the latter 
 The saying “I’d rather die a soldier than live my life a coward” comes to mind. 😃 
 Rich in a captured.
Would rather die than be average 
 Would you would rather be rich under a fiat standard or average wealth under a bitcoin standard? 
 Of course rich under a fiat standard.
It’s such a stupidly framed question anyway. 

Average IS WHAT LEADS TO FIAT.
We didn’t just end up on a fiat standard by accident. It’s because we gave up greatness.

To be rich is to be noble.
That’s the goal.
Bitcoin is a MEANS to a richer society, with richer people. NOT average.
Else I wouldn’t give 2 shits about bitcoin. 
 Striving to be fiat rich is pretty damn average if you ask me. 

I’m here to for the separation of money and state and would happily take the average amount of wealth under a bitcoin standard to see a better future for my kids. 
 Being rich is great if you want to achieve things... But every great man needs average followers. I think we can and should have both! 
 Lake Wobegone. Where everyone is above average.
