Missing The Revolution In Plain Sight
How many times does this have to happen?
(Listen to audio version of me reading👆)
I orange pilled 4 Uber drivers
My time during the Pacific Bitcoin conference presented by Swan Bitcoin, I took only 4 Uber rides myself the entire time.
Each time I did my Uber driver naturally asked me what I was doing in town.
I would say, “I’m here for a bitcoin conference.”
Every one of them said, “Oh really? A bitcoin conference? But it’s crashed right?” What’s going in with it?”
We would proceed in to a 10-20 minute discussion on the asset and the network.
By the end of each ride they were all pulling out their phone and asking for where they can buy bitcoin and get education.
We were sending Sats in a lightning wallet and I gave them the Swan website so they could buy their own and start getting educated.
Connecting the dots
When you start talking about and helping people connect the dots between inflation, monetary debasement, bank accounts being frozen, payments that cannot be restricted for fractions of a penny, you really see people’s brain turn on and light up.
The fiat price of bitcoin scares people off in bear markets at first when in reality it should excite them that it’s low.
When you filter in analogies like “your money is just a economic container for your time and energy” things start coming together.
We talk about governments printing currency which is a whole in your container.
Similar to trading your finite time for an infinite object like sand and blades of grass.
No one would make that trade yet we all have been conditioned to think that’s ok with our government fiat currencies.
FTX, Celsius, Luna, 3AC
How many more exchanges shilling fake coins do we need to see blowup and people get screwed over before we learn that bitcoin is the ONLY asset.
These Ponzi schemes are run with the blessing of the same fiat overlords and politicians that are screwing your traditional system.
This is why the bitcoiners have been screaming forever that bitcoin is its own asset. Crypto is separate and it is all trash.
Take your bitcoin (money), take it off exchanges and put in in your own cold storage wallet.
Self-custody IS the revolution as Nico and Opti say on Simply Bitcoin podcast.
We can keep going down the drain in the current system and getting more of the same with the traditional legacy monetary system OR we can choose to separate money from state and move to a bitcoin standard.
Which future do we want?
Now we have bitcoin where we can make a fair trade; finite time for a finite asset.
The only two finite assets I know of that humans have discovered:
Therefore if A = B then, B = A.
Time is bitcoin. Bitcoin is time.
You could see the driver’s heads all clicking and then starting to spin as they realized they had been making that trade for as long as they can remember.
The savings technology we have will turn in to a medium of exchange globally over the course of the next decade.
Once it reaches escape velocity and more humans own some it will begin changing hands more and speeding up the adoption even more.
It will be a positive reinforcing loop.
As Cory Klippsten says we will need to demand more and more businesses to operate with this tech.
Adoption doesn’t come from the supply side.
Then the businesses and governments will have to respond and accept it which will increase the supply of entities taking the currency.
Come for the money and stay for the freedom.
Once you release the control of money flow from the ruling class the plebs all start to benefit and only those providing value accumulate more wealth.
The bottom and top 1-5% that grift off the system and drag it down will be forced and incentivized to get off their behind and get on the battlefield of value.
This will in turn create a higher standard of living for every human being listing people out of poverty and decreasing mental disease and slowing the spread of hunger related crises.
Separation of money and state.
Fix the money, fix the world.
Stay strong,
