In 2021, El Salvador made a bold move, buying Bitcoin as a national strategy. At first, many criticized, fearing a financial disaster. But here's a twist: if Bitcoin hits $250k, El Salvador's gamble could pay off, wiping out their national debt. This taught me, sometimes, taking a calculated risk can lead to unprecedented growth. Could this inspire other nations to follow? What do you think? @Lyn Alden

Before: I believed holding cash was the safest way to save.
After learning about debasement, I realized my savings lose value over time due to inflation.
Now, I diversify to protect my wealth.
Have you considered the real cost of holding cash? @Guy Swann
Bitcoin doesn't waste energy; it secures global finance. Think about it: banks use massive resources, yet Bitcoin offers a transparent, efficient system running 24/7. It's like a financial superhighway, open to all, without the toll gates of traditional banking. Agree/disagree? Let's chat about Bitcoin's energy use versus its value. @jb55
"Fix the money, fix the world." This quote highlights how Bitcoin, unlike fiat currencies, offers a stable measure of value. Imagine trying to measure something with a ruler that changes length every time you use it. That's what happens with fiat money; its value fluctuates. Bitcoin, however, is like a standard ruler that doesn't change, making it a reliable yardstick for measuring value. Do you agree? @Sovreign

Before, I saw Bitcoin as just digital money. Then, I learned it's where science meets economics, a unique blend of cryptography and monetary policy. Now, I see it as a groundbreaking innovation, reshaping finance. This fascinating idea was shared by Michael Saylor at BTC Prague 2024. Have you considered its impact? @npub1vsdv...msjy
"Fix the money, fix the world" - Bitcoin's more than tech. It's a moral shift. Do you agree? @Jeff Booth 

Unlock the power of teamwork for your Bitcoin security! 🚀 Collaborative custody is like having multiple keys to a treasure chest, ensuring no single person can access your Bitcoin without the others. It's a blend of trust and technology, enhancing security while distributing responsibility. But, watch out for coordination challenges and the need for consensus on transactions. Which tip was best?

Michael Saylor on Bitcoin to $100k+, the "Crypto Renaissance," Digital Capital and MicroStrategy Outperforming Everything
Coin Stories with Natalie Brunell · Episode
Bitcoin's not just digital gold; it's the only money no one can "print" more of. While governments inflate their currencies and any crypto project can issue more tokens, Bitcoin's capped at 21 million forever. This scarcity is its superpower, not a limitation. Think it's too rigid? Consider the value of a currency no one can dilute. Agree/disagree? Let's chat! @Swan Bitcoin
Before: Thought only gold could be real money.
Insight: Realized most sellable goods win as money.
After: See Bitcoin's potential.
Have you? @Sovreign
Back in 2017, amidst the Bitcoin craze, I ignored the 4-year cycle theory, thinking it was just market superstition. The cycle, driven by halving events every 210,000 blocks, supposedly influences Bitcoin's scarcity and price. After watching the cycle accurately predict market movements, I learned to respect these patterns, incorporating them into my investment strategy. Curious about how Bitcoin's cycles could impact your investments? @Guy Swann
"Latin America's top 5 debtors: Brazil ($1.4T), Mexico ($661B), Argentina ($323B), Colombia ($150B), Chile ($83B). To erase this with 5% of Bitcoin's supply would be a fascinating experiment."
This showcases the staggering debt levels and the hypothetical yet intriguing possibility of Bitcoin playing a role in national debt solutions. Imagine countries leveraging digital assets for financial health.

Why "Free" Banking Services Cost You More Than You Think
1. Hidden fees sneak up on you.
2. Your data is often sold to third parties.
3. Lower interest rates on savings.
4. Banks profit from your deposits.
5. Minimum balance fees catch you off guard.
6. ATM fees add up quickly.
Bonus: Free services mean you're the product, not the customer.

Before: I assumed Bitcoin was mainly for small, personal transactions. After learning about Hal Finney's 2010 prediction, "Bitcoin will be the high-powered money that serves as a reserve currency for banks... Most Bitcoin tx's will occur between banks," it clicked. Bitcoin's potential as a backbone for large-scale financial operations, not just individual spending, reshaped my view. Have you considered Bitcoin's role beyond personal use? @jb55
Transform your grind into gold: Why scarcity and durability matter in assets 🧵
To thrive, shift work into assets that are rare, wanted, easy to carry, long-lasting, and easy to keep up. Think of creating or investing in something that not only holds its value but potentially increases over time due to its scarcity and desirability. Assets that are portable allow you to move freely, adapting to changes in the market or personal circumstances. Durability ensures that your asset won't just vanish or degrade, protecting your hard work. Lastly, maintainability means you can keep your asset in top condition without excessive costs or effort, ensuring it continues to provide value.
