Come on Joel! The holier than now ‘I’m here for the freedom’ trope is a well worn path and one I’ve heard many times for many years now inside the Bitcoin only space. I get it Joel. The Fiat system is broken. This is a well established fact that doesn’t need repeating or explaining - we get it. We all get it! This is NOSTR after all… Do you know what else I hate? Gravity. As you get older it fucks with your body. But I do know this and accept this: gravity does not give a single fuck about what the Bulgarian Pork Whistle believes about gravity! It exists, it’s here for the foreseeable future and not talking about it does not make it go away. NGU is Freedom. Freedom is NGU. They go hand in glove. Freedom = Buying a home 🏠 Freedom = Owning farmland 🌾 Freedom = Preserving your time and energy in abstracted form aka NGU with Bitcoin or Gold etc…. Freedom = Avoiding the pain of currency debasement Freedom = Having more today to cover tomorrow Freedom = Security and security has a cost Freedom and NGU are joined at the hip! Inseparable bed fellows in the context of MONEY! 💰 Remember Bitcoin is money which is powered by a network - not the other way around. NGU or Bitcoin go bye bye 👋

We’re actually very close to agreeing and finding common ground. I’m certain we both want the same thing in the end: prosperity. I’m simply convinced that if Bitcoin succeeds, fiat becomes irrelevant. The path toward that end goal will almost certainly include NGU, that much is clear. But in the end state, the number itself stops mattering. Bitcoin is simply better money, and at that point people would naturally switch to it and start pricing goods and services in BTC. That’s why I say NGU isn’t the point. Once you’re convinced of Bitcoin’s end goal, the journey there will inevitably involve a USD price that goes through the roof. The only scenario where that doesn’t happen is if governments and central banks suddenly adopt sound money policies, and in my opinion, that’s not happening anytime soon.
