Number go up tech is wonderful.

A stable, boring and secure limited supply digital decoration that goes up in value that you can peal off from to convert to fiat for lambos is nice. I’m happy. I love it. It’s changed my life for the better.

But I got in to Bitcoin not for this but to change the world. To replace the evil fiat system and all it’s related destruction. I got in to this for a new form of money, for peer to peer cash free from the constraints and controls of centralized powers. I came for cypherpunk values where code and privacy rule over the whims of humans. I got in to this for a money system that can’t be printed from thin air by politicians and given to cronies for war, graft and violence.

If we don’t use Bitcoin as money and it doesn’t replace the broken fiat system but is simply a store of value, held in custody by the same parties who controlled the old system, subject to the same surveillance and seizures, then we would have squandered the greatest opportunity of a generation to break free from the old system and build a new one. In my old age I don’t want to look at a dying dystopian fiat world from my castle window. I want to see a vibrant more peaceful and free world that I helped bring about by using sound money.

Which way are we going?
