 Proof of Work keeps individuals and society connected to reality. Endless printing of an enforced currency de-couples people from being able to protect the fruits of their labour. Much like a spell that befalls man, fiat not only extracts value from those who are productive, but assigns worth to concepts and ideologies that literally have no value or utility. Fiat disconnects individuals and society from reality by distorting obvious truths. @Jeff Booth @saifedean @Excellion @Aaron van Wirdum @AlexS 
 Bro has never heard of a rug pull 🤣 
 Dodgy fiat type practices (such as rehypothecation, over-leverage, naked shorting) on Bitcoin will be severely punished by the protocol. Over the next 24 months it’s very likely that some big names will fall. Odds based on previous cycles are, that out of Coinbase, BlackRock and MSTR at least one of them will make a fatal error this bull run. Any thoughts … 💭@Jeff Booth @jimmysong @jb55 @Excellion @preston @saifedean @cory @petermccormack

 Splendid. 
 Trading Bitcoin reveals a person’s lack of knowledge about the asset. 
 Wealthy people buy time,
Poor people buy stuff,
Ambitious people buy education,
Lazy people buy distractions. 

Bitcoin is the best and most easily accessible option to protect your time.

 Being able to buy endorsements is peak fiat behaviour. 
 The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

 Too many.

 Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but the State’s plans will likely screw your plans up. - Friedrich A. Hayek 
 He who blames others has a long way to go on his journey. He who blames himself is halfway there. He who blames no one has arrived. - Chinese Proverb 
 BitCoIn is counter insurgency technology designed to fight peacefully against the current cartel of bad actors who have self-declared themselves to have a global monopoly on finance and money. 
 Bitcoin is a protocol AND a discovery. The gravity of this can be clearly seen when comparing other such protocols: fire, math, electricity, nuclear fusion, the internet. People have no clue how important Bitcoin is as all new protocols [that are also discoveries] are met with suspicion and derision until mainstream adoption is enforced by the protocol’s built-in incentives. 
 Speculative attacks are wild fires and fiat money is very dry and flammable tinder. 
 Spot on. BitCoIn is counter insurgency technology [down to the level of the Bit] designed to fight peacefully against the current cartel of bad actors who have self-declared themselves to own the global monopoly on money. 
 The journey down the rabbit hole to understand Bitcoin creates a cognitive dissonance in our mind... 
 Right on… Bitcoin is a protocol and a discovery. The gravity of this can be grasped when comparing other such protocols: fire, math, electricity, nuclear fission, the internet. People have no clue how important Bitcoin is as all new protocols [that are also discoveries] are met with suspicion and derision until mainstream adoption is enforced by the protocol’s built-in incentives. You don’t change Bitcoin, it changes you.

 True, this is why buying a large quantity of bitcoin will be required prior to such government department cuts.

Bitcoin IS the financial lifeboat that will steer you toward an abundant future. This applies equally for individuals and governments.

 Mine has gone from 25 to 5 in 24 months. Why’d I buy a house again?
