Bitcoin helps you change and keep your mentality focused on the future, instead of the now.
In terms of writing posts, I would say Bitcointalk and SN both make you write better posts in general. Of course there will be lots of spam, but there are so many gems in both places...
Bitcoin also reminds you about the power of being self sufficient.
You don't need a bank, those extremely wealthy people are constantly taking the money from everyone in every single transaction (MasterCard, VISA, etc). Bitcoin changes that model, you pay directly to another person, just like cash, but electronically. Much better.
It's really a game changer. But I still think that most people are not into it.
We kinda recently moved from a cash society into a card society. I think it will take some time to become a Bitcoin society.
Although the recent increases in fees from these companies might accelerate this process.
i think people are starting to really feel the inflation sting , but they're not understanding the true cause, they attribute it to Biden or whatever, when the problem runs much deeper.
sadly, mainstream institutions are fully captured by Keynesian thought and self-discovery is the only way out.
also sadly most people associate btc with shitcoins and all the bad things that went down on exchanges etc .
they just think 'scam' and good luck deprogramming that.
my auntie once said 'i hope you're not involved with bitcoin' as if it was some terrible evil. but this is because the wanks on the news sit there all day saying drug lords use it to launder money. then fucks like Buffet call it rat poison etc
