"All strong societies have a strong moral basis. Any study of the history of economic development shows the close relationship between moral and economic factors. Countries and groups that achieve successful development do so partly because they have an ethic that encourages the economic virtues of self-reliance, hardwork, family, and social responsibility, high savings, and honesty. This is also true of social subgroups."

Bitcoin is not just technology. It is our way of life. Our culture. That's why we're called bitcoiners.

Walk by Faith, Live in Hope.
Fix the money fix the world. Free market, freedom money is the way.
Going forward, I will always be amongst the builders. Builders of the real world. Builders of civilization. Builders who believe that there is always tomorrow and surely it will always come. I can not find any community that is as hard at work to build stuffs like bitcoiners. Of course bitcoiners built Nostr. Bitcoin and Nostr two sides of the same coin. Real people are building meaningful stuffs, making the world meaningful again. This are the kind of people one should "waste" his precious time with. Honestly, fiat system is sickening. It sucks out one's energy without replacing. There is simply no hope in fiat land.
It no longer matters how "wealthy" I am in fiat land, I've come to realize how meaning all that is. Now I just want to live a far more meaningful and fulfilling life. I just want to get married, have children, and spend the rest of my life building meaningful stuffs that will outlive me for centuries to come. There is no second best community in this whole universe to belong to than the Bitcoin/Nostr.
Fix the money, fix healthcare. FIX THE MONEY FIX THE WORLD!
It's becoming difficult to survive on the web. Almost everything require permission to access. All I'm left with is freedom technologies. At least the internet is still working.
The current state of the web is choking me. I can't breath without Nostr+ Sats. My profound gratitude goes to all the FOSS builders around the world. Thank you for your efforts to making the world a better place. Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge with me so that I can learn. Indeed I feel blessed, and I don't take it for granted. I've met beautiful people on Nostr, and this has helped me regained my mental health and humanity.
May this new year bring blessing, joy, peace, prosperity, abundance, and security to you and your loved ones.
Long live Nostr! Long live Bitcoin!! Long live the Builders!!!
This is brilliant. Thank you for the wake up call.
Life is a gift. Enjoy it to the full. Spend bitcoin on Nostriches.
Good morning Nostriches
So, economics, life in general, is a game. The game is called transaction. It could be played with oneself or with others. This game is characterized by time that should be served to every player in equal amount and money that can be acquired with the time given. In other words, "time is money, and money is time." This means the quality of your life depends on money.
But what if this game can be rigged? What if there are some players who could cheat and not allow others to do the same? Knowing fully well that this game has been rigged against you, what will would you do? (This rigged game/money is called fiat)
Also, imagine that you've discovered a new game/money. would you still continue to play the old rigged game? (This new game/money is called bitcoin).
Life is a monetary game that humans can never stop playing. Fiat is an unsound money that causes chaos and break relationships. Bitcoin is a sound monetary game that organizes the world in good shape. If this game of life can't be stopped, and if at all this game is essential for human growth and flourishing, then bitcoin is the kind of game worth playing and...dying for.
I just can't think of doing anything else other than Bitcoin in order to make the world a better. From my perspective, Bitcoin is the new mission. And, I'm already on my way.
An economy run on fiat is full of pain, misery, and death. An economy run on Bitcoin is full of life, liberty, and happiness.
"1. We experience value through products and services that gives us value, instead of trying to understand the intricate details of the plumbing that gives rise to those products and services, and
2. Money is the foundation layer that gives rise to everything else.
Therefore, when money breaks down, standing your ground when the ground gives way will provide little in the way to safety."

There were two reasons only why I was severely poor and needy:
1) I was ignorant of economics (i.e., Austrian economics), and
2) I was ignorant of money (i.e., sound money)
Being exposed to the Bitcoin space gave me the opportunity to learn about these important aspects of life.
Not that I'm as rich as Satoshi Nakamoto now, but that I'm able to turn my life around away from the destruction of bad economic thinking (Keynesian) and unsound money (fiat), I am forever grateful for whoever invented bitcoin.
I am now very bullish and very hopeful for a better future, tomorrow and beyond.
THE ONLY WAY BITCOIN CAN HELP YOU, AND THE WORLD, IS TO USE IT. IF MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CURRENT STATE OF WORLD WILL PREFER TO USE BITCOIN THAN THE FIAT "MONEY", THE WORLD WILL CHANGE OVERNIGHT. STOP COMPLAINING, STOP PROTESTING ON THE STREETS AND START USING BITCOIN. TALK YOUR NEIGHBORS INTO USING BITCOIN AS A NEW OF OF POLITICAL PROTEST. STOP WASTING YOUR TIME ON POLITICIANS. YOUR USING OF BITCOIN WILL CRIPPLE THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES OF THE OVERLOADS/TYRANTS AND AT THE SAME TIME MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. YOU DON'T NEED THEIR PERMISSION TO USE BITCOIN.

THE ONLY WAY CENTRAL BANKERS COULD KEEP YOUR MONEY "SAFE AND SECURE" IS SIMPLY TO LEND OUT NINETY OR MORE PERCENT OF IT, AND KEEP THE INTEREST TO THEMSELVES. THERE IS JUST NO ALTERNATIVE WAY. AND, WHEN YOU DECIDE TO DEMAND ALL YOUR MONEY, THEY SIMPLY SAY NO. THIS IS HOW "SAFE AND SECURE" YOU ARE WITH THE CENTRAL BANKS.
BITCOIN IS MONEY!
BITCOIN IS AN HONEST SYSTEM SIMPLY BECAUSE ANYONE CAN VERIFY HOW IT WORKS.
Bitcoin has replaced humans in telling the truth. Whether you like it or not bitcoin forces you into telling and accepting what is true. It's the only truth machine we have.
Freedom speech!
This speaks to me a lot.
Thank you for sharing.
The politicians and the central bankers force the rest of society to use their fiat "money" while inflating it to infinity, causing chaos and pain in the world. While they enjoy the good things life can offer on earth, the poor and oppressed are left wishing and praying, day and night, for an afterlife.
If your are down the ladder in the fiat system, looking for a better life on earth, and if you are and honest person who doesn't want to get corrupted by fiat, only bitcoin can give you a better life on earth. Join the network, stack sats. And keep stack for the rest of your life.
