If you measure #Bitcoin in dollars or in another fiat currency, it looks like Bitcoin has not been performing in recent times. But if you see all the #BTC circular economies popping up in different parts of the world, all the innovation related to #privacy and payments, #Nostr etc., it’s easy to see that Bitcoin is more valuable than ever before. And the competing system, the world of fiat, is becoming more and more dystopian everywhere. Who cares what is the dollar value of Bitcoin, when you need a permission to use “your” dollars? And, similarly, who cares how many Twitter or Youtube followers an account has, when Twitter / Youtube can (and will) suppress the message if it contradicts their ethos of centralization? Bitcoin liberates. Fiat enslaves. Trying to measure Bitcoin price in fiat currencies, is like trying to measure the value of fresh mountain air in exhaust fumes.

Settles that. I am relieved to know that ECB is not looking to control people. Link to the interview:

European Central Bank

Interview with Süddeutsche Zeitung

Simon Dixon knows all the ins and outs of the existing system. In that sense he reminds me of Whitney Webb. The central bankers cannot even fart without Simon and Whitney knowing about it. And despite his previous shitcoinery, IMHO he has been a great influence in the Bitcoin space. On the other hand, Jeff Booth knows all the ins and outs of the Bitcoin system that is being built right now. And he is great at communicating it to people. That is why I did not see this great conversation as a huge debate. There were some important differences, but I saw this conversation as complementary. npub1546jstdajzf6gw4plvr6z4kpcaxtvl3h0zjdv5gw8tx8uup5d6rq8ef9mt explains, perhaps better than anyone else, how rotten the existing system is. And npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe explains how to move forward. Thanks, Jeff, Simon, and npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 / npub1tduyjjnzaug8drhyhalsdg9csr4tzunlxanh8ul8jwdml7rn9kxqec8k5l!

When people notice that the governments do not “make things work” by taxing people but by removing their rights, big things start happening. #freedom #bitcoin #nostr #btc #politics #taxation #revolution #war

Is there a law requiring Americans to file an income tax? "Where is the law? Show me the law." - Sherry Jackson, former IRS agent "They think that it's the law, and they have all the guns. It’s an authoritarian approach." - Ron Paul Have you seen this documentary, npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe, npub1klkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qulx3vt, npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu, npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy, npub1qqvt0m3nlvjnssmrn33w9yh7cuq2dx5nkz8wxax9hk5hrjdnj4jqz8cn3w, npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx, npub1jt97tpsul3fp8hvf7zn0vzzysmu9umcrel4hpgflg4vnsytyxwuqt8la9y, npub1u87g378r0puytp7zxdl5awg2gmqvqc3vgtnh6a0vfgm4y8es7c3qam93f7, npub1hghnjjpnvkz8t6gkszuf37d7puwc2qtxc65rnklqsngzv6kkug9qhhfyz2, and npub1dg6es53r3hys9tk3n7aldgz4lx4ly8qu4zg468zwyl6smuhjjrvsnhsguz?
