This is great!
"Always and everywhere, the only serious political issue is what the state should and should not do. All the rest distracts."
"The real purpose of Bitcoin was not to create a new form of currency, but to create a challenge, a test, a puzzle that would push the boundaries of cryptography and computer science."
Sounds like you didn't read the whitepaper.
Teach kids how, using whatever means of your choice, to acquire/receive, self-custody, and send/payment. Repeat!
When it come to kids, practicals is better than theory. Do it while they watch.
And we are yet to add to the list of the 7 wonders of the world. But I think bitcoin makes into the list.
Fiat leads to (monetary then price) inflation, inflation leads to low quality productions, and low quality products encourages animalistic behaviors and lack meaning in life.
I also read an article titled "Top Ten Ways to Stack More Bitcoin" on Substack. It ended up pointing me towards shitcoins like Ethereum and Monero. I felt disappointed.
Thank you, bitcoiner. This post of yours is very excellent and will definitely stand the test of time. Thanks dearly.
What is "conventional" if not that which you've been taught and conditioned, together with your classmates, to obey and do for the sake of blending into a collective? Most kids, especially first time at school, do not want to be conventional, until they've been forced by parents and teachers and stayed long enough in school, succumbing to "authorities" they cared little about.
We need kids, like your little Rina, to be uncoventional (in a positive direction). There is whole lot of stuff to learn in this world, and most of the learning will spring from individual, personal, deliberate experiences. The path is non-linear and sometimes complex. Schools, especially fiat-run ones, unfortunately, streamlines this path. Most kids end up graduating/living school more confused than when they entered.
I believe, bitcoin is a tool to help us turn things around towards a more free and better future for our kids.
Thanks for sharing.
Without the curiosity to learn and educate (oneself), there cannot be freedom. Freedom means becoming and being responsible for almost all aspects of your life, knowing almost exactly what is good and beneficial for you and what is not. Fiat enabled people to push out personal responsibilities to others, especially to the government and bankers. These entities took avantage of the trust bestowed on them to abuse and enslave. Fiat makes people weak and complacent. People do want to be free, but most are not prepared to face the reality. And, bitcoin is about that reality (self-responsibility).
Movies and dramas and comedies flash out scenes of people getting hurt in funny ways. The Internet helped amplify this. Overtime we got used to seeing people get hurt, and we just laugh about it. In reality, It should be great to empathize and help. And, laugh later.
