Those who would trade liberty for security deserve neither.
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read or write, but those who cannot unlearn the many lies they have been taught to believe. You have been lied to about everything
At first glance, it’s an ordinary family photo taken in 1902: a mother, father, and their little daughter. But within this frame lies one of the most extraordinary legacies in the history of science. The mother is Maria Skłodowska Curie — the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person in the world to win two in different fields: for physics (1903) and chemistry (1911). Her discoveries about radioactivity revolutionized medicine, physics, and our understanding of the atom. Standing next to her is Pierre Curie, her husband and research collaborator. Together with Henri Becquerel, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903, laying the foundations for modern atomic science. And the little girl in Marie’s arms? That’s Irène Joliot-Curie, who was destined to continue her parents’ legacy. Growing up in a home where discoveries were part of everyday life, she became an extraordinary scientist herself. In 1935, she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with her husband Frédéric Joliot-Curie for the discovery of artificial radioactivity. One photo. Three faces. Four Nobel Prizes. Incredible. image
#Bitcoin isn’t about timing the market. It is about exiting the distortion of it.
One day people will look back and realize that what seemed “crazy” was actually inevitable. Every time humanity encounters a truth that challenges the foundation of an existing system, it’s met with confusion, denial, and ridicule before acceptance. #Bitcoin emerged as new money reflecting the distortions created by an economic system built on exponential debt and inflation. These early years will be remembered as a time when a few people saw through the noise only because they were willing to question the assumptions everyone else took for granted. The irony is that what future generations will call “the beginning” was (well for me at least) a time of disbelief, volatility, and hope. And those who built through that uncertainty weren’t chasing price; they were building the foundation for a more truthful, decentralized future.

For some reason I love post-apocalyptic movies and series. Maybe it's the longing for a new beginning, maybe I like to see how authentic people behave, without the civilization, I like when greatness and nobility are shown. But, I think they are a good lesson for today's isolationists - literally always in these small, isolated communities there is a burning problem of resources, because no one has everything. And then there is the need for war or trade. If they choose trade, they will develop and multiply, creating ever larger and more peaceful communities, rules and laws, security and prosperity, and the exchange of ideas and inventions. If they choose war, someone will prevail, be rich, and the rest will be miserable and dream of revolution. And someone stronger will always appear, and so on in a circle, while the people are getting worse and worse - because the economy is based on plunder, not creation. These are archetypes of our history and nature, it's not made up. 😊
