💯 What you are describing is the usecase of bitcoin which orange pilled me. Thanks to Parker Lewis's article 'Bitcoin is the Great Definancialization' I've found myself with my jaw dropped to the floor reborn into a different world. And I enjoy every moment in this world since then. 🌈 This is the article: https://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/bitcoin-is-the-great-definancialization/ The article was also republished in The Bitcoin Times Ed 3, free download behind email wall available: https://bitcointimes.io/product/legend-of-prometheus/ Do you remember how you've came to this idea?

What specifically has made your life better since reading the article?

Specifically: The cascades of new knowledge that SUNK INTO me and experiencing myself responding to the same stimuli with completely different reactions. I feel like I experienced a personal Copernican revolution. Just a few keywords of my input stations: - How an economy grows - the bitcoin standard - 21 lessons h/t #[10] - bitcoiner.guide h/t #[11] - bisq.network and what a contract really is - All editions of The bitcoin times bitcointimes.io - nakamotoinstitute.org - many many more How I saw my values and reaction schemes change: - from environmentalist to I don't know - from political left to f*ck you all you corrupt state influences plus there are no states just corporations - from let me explain this to you again until you understand to if you don't get it or believe it I don't have the time to convince you. Sorry. - from feeling deep inside me that saving purchasing power the way I was sucks and benefits not me but the goes brrrrrr gang but having no alternative to haha, take my worhless digital numbers and give me those sats that cheap (I still wonder everytime I convert low energy money to high frquency sats which lost soul is my counterparty) - many many more
