Things don't move in straight or predictable lines. For some ten years I was invested in Precious Metal since at that time I didn't understand #Bitcoin. Years ago I swapped my PM for what I consider the best Money available. When PM finally started to move I didn't had any remorse. I think those having PM deserved that uptick and more is to come. But when people realize they will need #Bitcoin, and no I can't guarantee they will, the move of #Bitcoin will probably even scare me.......

I took me some time to unravel the privacy aspect. First most of the time I do not need privacy when I make a payment (why would I ?). If I pay with cash I don't consider that to be private, done that most of my life never had an issue with it. A lot of times I realy don't want privacy when paying. When paying online I want a clear record and hard link to me so I can proof I paid someone that money. With #Bitcoin I create such link by first sending a random small amount, the reciever has to acknowledge that payment by sending me the exact amount I send and address used. That proves he has both recieved my first payment and that the address used is the correct one (I make them state that in a conformation mail as sample) ! Only than I make the bulk transfer to that same address. So the problem isn't privacy, it is people abusing me ! Goverment or other criminals trying to rob me.... And even perfect privacy won't solve that issue completely.... What is the use of having money if you can't use it. When every payment you make there is a party that robs a part of the value involved. If everything you buy is only a sign post for others to note them there is something to get... We should solve those issues. Not by hiding or trying to look poor. Not by not spending our wealth. But by prosecuting the criminals and lock them away.

The biggest hurdle #Bitcoin faces is a lack of critical thinking that seems to be missing in many. It is like FREEDOM...... Freedom needs maintenance, needs to be fought for to be there. If it is not maintained it slowly erodes away. First no one notices and it is hard to see. Things like fake safety are used to convince people to give up some freedom, same goes for convenience. At some pointed the lack of freedom is that striking it hits you in the face. At that same moment you find out that regaining it is VERY HARD. The same goes for what I call "autonomous critical thinking". In simple words able to think for your own and being able to decide what is good and what is wrong. Next step is speaking out those values, followed by creating a small community of like minded, etc. It sounds simple but IT IS NOT. That "small community" must be self-sufficient simply because if not it will be very easy for others to abuse that dependency to reduce any freedoms or norms and values just gained.. We have some references to how much effort it takes when freedom was taken away by rulers or dictators etc. Just look up the history books and if the price paid doesn't give you chivers I think you haven't digged deep enough. Our modern society is a bit different in that respect. Lack of freedom is more lack of privacy, our tax burden, the way we are controlled by subtle but astonishing proportions. Fiat literally is robbing most of us from most of our productive life. Everyone can check how big the total tax burden is, and putting a few hours into it, by writing down how insane current tax burden actually is will reveal the shocking reality. Most know this is the case but rather don't want to know it. Also the Stockholm syndrome seems the work pretty good, and many will start defending that tax burden by what Government realizes with that money. Right untill you start discussing the efficiency of government, or the wars being fought, the money used to restrict our own freedom, or the money used to actually hurt the population. By miracle we now have a sound money available that can break us free from fiat. That fiat system is the single biggest method used to enslave mankind and its antidote is #Bitcoin. But without a required portion of critical thinking, most can only see the small inconveniences Bitcoin gives compared to that fiat system. The part of the population depending on fiat will only see the burden Bitcoin will bring for them. They will fight to maintain their situation, fight to defend fiat. There are great resemblances between a disarmed population trying to fight an armed ruler. It needs sacrifices to break free. For most being responsible for their actions, being self supporting, the realization you alone are responsible for your own happiness and indeed freedom, with all responsibilities that come with it, is probably more daunting than picking up arms and fighting some direct enemy. Nevertheless is #Bitcoin a one off chance to regain some freedom. A chance to do so without the direct need for violence. Once you realize all this #Bitcoin becomes one of the few things worth actually fighting for.

#Bitcoin doesn't need any advertising. Just some interactions with any financial institution, bank or government will make even the most retarded person a Bitcoiner.. Ok for some this process will take longer than I have patience for, my apologies that is my shortcoming...

I do NOT wonder how Microstrategy is able to buy those #Bitcoin (at those prices). I AM wondering who is selling those #Bitcoin (at those prices)...........
