An excellent and inspiring introduction to, and reminder of, #Bitcoin's value to the world, all through a comprehensive and historical lens on money. https://t.co/7XsLye608n

If Apple, Google, Facebook and Twitter were acting in concert to raise prices, everyone would be up in arms. But acting in concert to repress speech, no big deal. Aren’t civil liberties supposed to be more important than money?

First they ban accounts. Then, they ban apps. Finally, they will block websites.

The Fed cut the Fed funds rate to zero and is buying hundreds of billions in assets. This will create no new ventilators. It will train no new doctors. It will not provide much needed sanitation products.

It will make the banks happy though.

Among other uses, Bitcoin is a vehicle for patience and thoughtfulness. If you already know what you want to consume or invest in, and you need it now, stick with fiat. If you want time to learn, convert your inflating fiat to deflating Bitcoin until the time is actually right.

@DropGodl @benthecarman At most only 21 million people can own even 1 Bitcoin and that is assuming the rest of the population owns none and ignoring lost Bitcoins. So 1 Bitcoin isn't too bad.
