GM Nostr,
Every morning I go for a run at dawn and part of that run is next to a massive 8-lane expressway downtown in a US city. Above this freeway, there’s a double-sided LED billboard.
One side is a regional bank slinging 3.5% high yield savings as the path to financial freedom. The other side is a lottery jackpot ticker advertising how you can instantly buy tickets on your phone.
These billboards haven’t changed in TWO YEARS.
Every morning as the night fades away, they glare down in soulless fluorescent lighting with their message of despair. Oppressed on the people driving to their 9-5 fiat grind in dire need of hope. The tragic irony is undeniable. This billboard presents two paths, neither of which are hope.
So why am I sharing this? Because we know it doesn’t have to be this way. That there is a third path offering rational optimism. Bitcoin.
We have to keep spreading the truth of Bitcoin. A message of hope that people desperately need.
It’s a lot of work. But it is worth it.

@HODL for the “rational optimism” framing
