When your friends ask you if you took profit because #Bitcoin is at its ATH, you realize they still don't know what money is, therefore they don't know they are still FIAT slaves. #GM #Nostr

Ever since I was a teenager, I felt a strong resistance to working. I never really understood why. People called me lazy, and if I didn’t want to spend money, they said I was just being greedy. But now, 16 years after #Bitcoin was created, I finally get it. I was being pushed to work for a broken system, a #Ponzi scheme built on fiat money that’s created out of thin air. Deep down, I must have known I was about to trade my time and energy, the two most valuable things we have, for money that loses value and isn’t backed by anything real, basically toilet paper! Today, I’m fully aware of what’s going on. And instead of feeling resistance, I’ve never been more motivated. I’m ready to work hard every single day, because now I know I’m trading my time and energy for something fair and meaningful: Bitcoin, time, energy, and freedom.

Moving to #Bitcoin Knots

Cannot stress enough that you should use a computer exclusively dedicated to #Bitcoin and install #Libreboot open source BIOS on it: I have written a step-by-step guide on my website (below the link). My top laptop recommendation is the Lenovo ThinkPad T480s, but older models like the T430 or X230 also work great! https://btcselfcustody.io/docs/libreboot

I never bought #Bitcoin, Bitcoin bought me!

Do you use an #Airgapped computer for managing your #seed phrases and #PSBT? I hope you do! Here the steps: - Get a old Lenovo Thinkpad X230 - Remove both the WiFi card and Bluetooth module - Make the Ethernet port unusable (by damaging it) - Encrypt the Hard Drive with a strong password - Install Sparrow, Electrum or any similar Wallet - Enjoy! If your Airgapped computer gets stolen, it cannot be accessed as the hard drive is encrypted. Your #bitcoin are safe! Airgapped Computer > Hardware wallet #selfcustody

Remember why you are on #Nostr

Now many things feel so obvious, but guys, never forget how long we have been into this journey for, how many hours of study we have put into this, how many months or even years took to digest some concepts, both at the intellectual and energetic level. Remember to be kind and to use analogies when explaining #Bitcoin to newbies. We have a big responsibility. Let's put our best skills for the revolution! And don't forget to self custody!!! #btcselfcustody

The first time #bitcoin showed up in my life was long time ago. The day I realised the opportunity I missed out in that early stage still hurts. But as we all know, it is never too late!

Happy Easter to all the #Nostr community!
