Bitcoin is a strange game where the only winning move is to play. — Michael Goldstein

I still wonder why Nick Szabo’s Bitgold was not mentioned in the Bitcoin whitepaper ever though it’s the closest thing to Bitcoin. Reading Nick Szabo’s blogs makes me think that he has all the knowledge to create Bitcoin.

Buying Bitcoin & HODLing will make you the coolest person in your lineage for creating generational wealth.

I’ve stopped telling my friends that I buy Bitcoin. If you are not careful, you’ll come off as a scammer or a “schemer”. I just suggest them books. Digital Gold or Gradually then Suddenly.

If I look back at how I got into bitcoin, I don’t have a clear memory of a moment but rather a number of things like DIY, Job loss, reading about inflation, gold, thinking about going off-grid, homeschooling etc. It wasn’t someone’s who made me buy bitcoin. I bought it only after the sleepless nights I had once I understood what Bitcoin solves, & I realised the lie we live in. You mostly find Bitcoin with you’re in a crisis, not when everything’s hunky dory.

An amazing Bitcoin only exchange in India called getbit.in is closing down because "difficulties in accessing and operating through banking rails". Getbit used to offer bitcoin withdrawal to self-custody with zero fees and apparently banks killed it. Indian govt. already makes us pay 30% tax on bitcoin transactions. I don't know how far they will go to keep us in fiat. #bitcoin #hodl
