Buy #Bitcoin. If you currently don’t own any Bitcoin, there is no reason to be intimidated by the numbers.
Don’t fall into the trap of waiting for the price to go lower before you buy in.
Let me explain…
The difference between buying 1% of a Bitcoin at 76k instead of 86k is $100.
Don’t let $100 keep you away from generational wealth.
Buy Bitcoin, opt out!

#bitcoin self custody ?
Or
#Zaps ?
What should Bitcoin education focus on?
“She is now living with us and helping look after her grandchildren.”
This, I think, is the best part of the story. nostr:note1la58ahjnsfnjhg7jj6kwa6z3wg5ygnxnxv5j9u6rvgujhuh396kqmnktxw

holy crap that is awesome. thank you for sharing!
Stablecoins are monetizing the debt in a sly, round-about way.
#Bitcoin fixes this(at least protects us from this), but it will debase the dollar.
Most of the world is on the dollar-fiat standard.
Inflation was the biggest issue in the US election, but it's getting accelerated instead of fixed.
We're gonna make it, but what will the people on a fiat standard do?
These questions are starting to worry me. I don't really want everyone else "to have fun staying poor."
I've been poor. It's not fun.
