When you really start to understand the world. The way it truly works. Not what you learn in school. When you learn how wars are funded. The incentives around the globe to foster war. Who profits from these wars. Why they never seem to end. When you start to understand how banking works. How "our money" is counterfeited by bankers. How politicians create money to get elected. How pointless voting and politics has become. How it is all a big show for the masses. This is when you are really ready to see bitcoin for what it truly is. The greatest invention in the last 50 years.

Bitcoin is more important than the Internet. Now, I know Bitcoin depends on the Internet but I believe one day soon the Internet will depend on bitcoin. I mean, the free and open Internet is dying. How will we keep it free? We have things like Nostr but without money, without a permission-less network to transfer value across space how can we be free? We can't. We can't in a digital age. We need sovereignty over money. Money is too important for any one person or group to control.

Fiat money is the life blood of the state. And war is the health of the state. So if you take the blood away from the state, it is limited in what it can do. I hope it will die but even limits to its spending would be a massive win. States across the globe and over time have killed more people than any other entity including plagues. Prior to the spread of democracies and fiat currencies wars were shorter lived and less deadly. Fiat money allows states to take war positions with little consequence. I can guarantee you this. If the U.S. tax payer actually had to pay for the conflicts the U.S. supports and is involved in we would have a massive change in policy. This is bullish. If bitcoin can stop the money printer, and I believe it can and will. We will see more incentives directed toward peace. Getting along. Finding common ground. Less incentives for death and destruction. War is incredibly destructive. Today a small number of men profit from it. Politicians gain power by it. Bitcoin will shift the balance. That my friends is reason for hope.

And with all that on the line many would be willing to shed blood to achieve it. But we don't have to. Bitcoin can be a peaceful revolution. We only need to adopt it and help those in our circle to adopt it. Use the tools, support the work. A peaceful revolution. Now, lets not kid ourselves. The state won't go down without a fight. We have to be ready. There will be pain and persecution but it will be worth it for our decedents. I would love to see bitcoin achieve these things before I go to meet my maker. I hope I am able to.

I'm so bullish.
