On February 11, 2009, just over a month after the launch of the Bitcoin system, Satoshi Nakamoto posted a thread titled "Bitcoin open source implementation of P2P currency".
In his thread, Satoshi Nakamoto outlined the development of new open source P2P e-cash system: Bitcoin, and the rationale behind it such as the root problem of conventional currency: Trust.
This quote from his thread is never more relevant 14 years later:
"The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them not to let identity thieves drain our accounts. Their massive overhead costs make micropayments impossible."
When you see what is happening today on a large scale in Lebanon or Nigeria with the banking system, and even in the West for some whom their banks unfairly censor, you understand that this trust problem must be solved.
This is where Bitcoin comes in. Bitcoin is a trustless and permissionless system. Bitcoin gives you a peaceful solution to the current system that is flawed and not fixable.
Rather than attacking the banks directly and risking being sued later, it is better to attack the banking system via Bitcoin.
In some countries, this is unfortunately no longer possible.
For those in the West who are aware of this problem, now is the time to act to take the power back from the hands of the State and these Banksters!
Buy Bitcoin, Hold your Keys, Save in Bitcoin, Live in Bitcoin, and you will remove the power from the Banksters.
