Do I get taken advantage of at a coin shop?
I don’t want to keep it.

To my age cohort and below I’m sorry to say these words, but I think they are important…
We are in dire times. The world we once knew growing up is radically disintegrating around us.
You may feel like you have to hold your tongue and are never allowed to speak your mind without backlash, cancellation, or violence towards you.
This world is not designed for us to succeed easily. We face a mountain that most start climbing from a hole due to those that came before us borrowing from our future.
We face a potential lack of meaningful work due to artificial intelligence.
We struggle to find relationships that go beneath the surface in a world full of “connectivity”.
This was not by our hands, but is in our laps. We brunt the burden of seeing no sun so one day our children’s children can basque and its warmth.
A calling I do not wish upon myself or even my worst enemy, yet so profound it will echo through generations to come.
This is what I believe our cross is that we must burden. We need to right the ship in treacherous waters.
Don’t accept defeat!
NEVER DOOM!
Turn to Christ, trust your gut, stack sats, protect yourself and those who cannot protect yourself.
In the end we win!

Bitcoin is like a Birkin bag…
They are valuable because not many exist and they are hard to hand make.
If you mass produced the bags then the value of them goes down.
Hermes may make a lot of money if they did this… but with bitcoin, there is no person or company in control.
Therefore, the people who utilize bitcoin wouldn’t vote to devalue themselves.

"Bitcoin fixes this" is a common phrase my friends, family, and coworkers hear from me...
It is something that can get me choked up just thinking about because it is the only thing I see that will save my generation. I look around at the world we currently live in and have to ask myself if I am crazy for noticing just how bad things are.
Life, Liberty, and Property were what the United States was founded on. Central banking inflated this away, corporations chose profits over quality products, and governments have a tax around every corner for their citizens.
Bitcoin is more than just an orange internet coin; it is something that gives me hope for the future. The larger my stack gets, the more hopeful I am to help those around me, and the bolder I get with how I conduct myself. I choose to take my dollars out of the system that is hurting people.
Bitcoin is a return to trust-filled societies, logic, quality, hope, and religion. I will not eat the bugs, sell my bitcoin to bankers, corporations, or AI agents.
Understanding Bitcoin is a gift I was given, and not one I take lightly. I feel a deep sense of responsibility to spread the word and use my stack for the betterment of those around me.
I'm a 20-something who is ALL IN on #Bitcoin.

Normies look at the world and get angry…
Bitcoiners look at the world and get disciplined…
The larger your stack, the more sway you will have to change the world!

Hey Bitcoiners,
Me and a buddy are looking at hosting a space on X focused on #nostr!
Looking for some interested folks who would wanna help people set up accounts during the space, answer questions, and zap ⚡️ some new accounts!
Let me know if you’re interested!
#Bitcoin #Nostr

People ultimately act in their own best interest.
This is where the disconnect between the old and young comes from IMO.
The old is tied into the system and incentivized not to change it.
The young is not tied into this system which incentivizes them to tear it down.

Control what you can.
Most of the stress we create for ourselves comes from things we can not control.
Be the optimist!

Wait did the $58k #bitcoin meme start because $58,008 is something middle schoolers would laugh at on a calculator?

What is the incentive of the government taxing unrealized capital gains?

I often think about what trait #Bitcoin enjoyers share.
I have never been able to come up with a good answer.
What do you think is a trait that most of us share?
