@zerohedge True.
That is why Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.
I still can’t believe Wall Street convinced the majority of Americans to invest their life savings in a vehicle called The Standard and Poor’s 500 thinking it would make them anything but standard and poor.

A bitcoin financial services company built by bitcoiners for bitcoiners with over 1,000 bitcoin in treasury. LFG.
Newcomers to Bitcoin may not understand why old timers care so much about Ross Ulbricht. Let me explain.
He embodied the ethos of early Bitcoin more than anyone. He was an entrepreneur who created a thriving marketplace.
He believed in radical freedom, including the freedom to trade anything with anyone else so long as it was peaceful and voluntary.
He regularly wrote about his views on freedom and why he built the first truly successful Bitcoin business - the Silk Road. He wanted to created a better world and believed his principles deeply.
Politicians like Schumer targeted both Silk Road AND Bitcoin as criminal enterprises that needed to be shut down.
When he was convicted the judge and the establishment threw the book at him. He was a first time, non violent criminal and they locked him up and effectively threw away the key.
In the early Bitcoin community we all felt how unjust this was. It was like they were locking up one of our own out of spite for what we all believed was a peaceful revolution.
Now tens of millions of people own Bitcoin and many just because of Number Go Up. Never forget there was a deeper purpose here and that getting rich is a nice side effect of that greater purpose.
Fix the money, fix the world.

@notsofast@johnennis If Florida, I highly recommend checking out Tampa area. It’s a nice, younger place to live that doesn’t have either retirement nor vice city vibes, and has a great community out there. @TampaBayBitcoin
