#bitcoin as an asset within a control system is a fundamentally different and long term incompatible view with #bitcoin as a protocol bringing freedom and abundance to 8 billion people.

That’s my initial thought as well. In order to become the latter, don’t we kinda have to go through the former?
wish more people would understand this concept

Gradually, then suddenly.

I don’t believe he is saying it is latter without the former, but saying the fiat system is not compatible with a deflationary BTC standard. IMHO, of course.
SO SO SO IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER AND FULLY INTEGRATE INTO THAT GRAY MATTER THE WE USE TO INTERFACE WITH THE WORLD AROUND US!

SEEN . As I asked of my fellow BTC artists in my latest article for @BitcoinArtMag and @Stackchain ⛓ Magazine : Are you here for the money 💰 or the Revolution?
Every new node added to the network, both technical and cultural, makes the former obsolete and the latter inevitable. We are going to win.
Careful mate, coming at me like that makes you sound like the glitch in the matrix..... Maybe you’re the AI needing an upgrade 🤗🤗
I love what Balaji is doing with these social networks and nodes. Need more early Bitcoiners to invest in securing the network
The number of nodes doesn't matter if the majority of coins are locked up and unused. The system only works if it is being actually used by people rather than institutions...
When Jesus walked the earth, he spoke often about money. Bitcoin is God's gift to His creation.
That’s totally a joke an ai would make up 😂
Thats cute...🤗🤗 blaming AI when your originality’s stuck buffering...🤣Don’t worry.!!!.., I’m here to upgrade your content game 😂... 🤜🤛

I listened to another podcast of you and I finally understand how value accrues to all in a hard money system. It clicked. Was a cool experienced.
Exactly..🫣. One frames Bitcoin as just another instrument to be managed, while the other recognizes it as a lifeline..... Open, neutral, and unstoppable. Only the latter vision scales to humanity’s true potential. ⚡🧡
Exactly!
If one just reads the first two sentences of the Bitcoin white paper ("A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending.") it's easy to see that the idea is NOT to be an asset within a control system.
I hope that you keep on hammering that point home.
🙏🧡💜 - pay it forward!
Jeff is on another intellectual level from me and I consider myself a deep thinker. Thankfully, I can just be in 100% spot while I try to catch up. I know the answer just still trying to understand the question. Thank you for the thought leadership Jeff.

Thanks but not on any other level - just tons of deep thinking about a problem that I was a part of - then facing my own incongruence in thoughts/actions and fixing them one hard lesson at a time.

Go the way of the protocol. Much better for humanity. 🙏
Humanity deserves freedom the world needs to heal 🧡🫂
Bitcoin isn’t just an asset, it’s a force for freedom ⚡ Cage it, and you kill its power.
"an asset" will disintegrate over time, we are in transition times, patience...
So you’re saying education shifting people from a short term view as an asset to a long-term view as a protocol is key?
And as the regulator increases it's control over #bitcoin, it's value as a tool for freedom, decreases.
The answer is not technology. The answer is #philosophy
We need an intellectual revolution.

Jeff Booth reframes Triffin’s dilemma, extending its underlying tension into fundamental economic forces. He deserves a Nobel Prize. Read “The Price of Tomorrow”.

Is MSTR a play to capture it and control it? It seemed like the recent treasury unconf was all about how to use the money printer to capture it for profit and number go up forever.
You know I love your wisdom, Jeff, but the only problem is time. Humanity aint having much time for Evolution.

What can we do to make sure the latter wins out Jeff?
I agree with starting with ourselves. What about when we've been HODLing node running transacting and orange pilling? Feels like there's more work to be done.
Stay humble and stack sats
This is so true Jeff . You will know the people who really understand this can talk about BITCOIN for hours without mentioning the price .
I wish dude, will see what happnnz
So few understand this. Bitcoiners need to spend their Bitcoin on things and incentivise the world they want to see. Holding it as an “asset” is a fiat mindset.
Would you ever go on Joe Rogan Experience?
Yes - if given the opportunity. Think from where Joe is on things, it would be a good conversation that would help it click for a lot of people. (Including him)
We gotta get you on there!!!
Transitioning away from a society who is asset/credit wealthy to a society of wealthy value producers is going to be complete chaos as Jeff points out. I say this as fighter jets fly over my head right now like pointing a gun at other countries to convince them we are wealthy is going to still work.
Americans are most scared of this transition because we are the most asset rich, and the most value poor country on the planet.

It would be great to see Jeff on The Joe Rogan Experience. But I have very little hope that people like Jeff gets invited.
The message (the natural state of the free market is deflation, and a credit-based system cannot allow deflation) is simply too brutal for the so-called elites. And Daniel Ek (the CEO of Spotify) is a participant in the Bilderberg Meetings. So, I am pretty sure that he is against people understanding what is going on.
Besides, when Joe does not get something, he just says “woah…” and starts to talk about fights between mountain gorillas and bears. So, there is a big chance that the guest would not get to explain the natural state of free market and instead is forced to speculate whether a bear could escape a gorilla’s armlock.
That did not use to be the case though. Back in the day Andreas Antonopoulos was a guest on JRE a couple of times.
Anyway, I do think that there are a lot of big podcasts that are trying to understand what is going on and therefore are okay with that message (the natural state of the free market is deflation, a credit-based system cannot allow it).
I think the message is “slowly” sinking in anyways……one person at a time - and then through their words, thoughts, and actions…..amplifying. Truth has a way of doing that.
Thanks for the reply! Yes, I do not disagree with that. The number of people seeing the truth will grow exponentially. No question about it.
But it would be great to get some help from these very big podcasts. At some point we will have new wars, pandemias, terrorist attacks etc., and then many people will be “too busy” to think about these things, because they will “need to focus on the important things that matter", like enslaving themselves.
Well, there is no point in complaining. In the end, we can just do our best. I just saw this interview:
…and it was easy to see that the message really started to resonate with Adam. It was a great interview! Thanks to both of you. I would tag him too, but I don’t think he is on Nostr.

We’re here for the lulz
Naturally 🤣😂🔥
Which #bitcoin are you in it for?
