![Read_714 - Bitcoin's Meme Wars [DerGigi]](/images/fallback-image.png)
Show Notes
The Bitcoin system is answering the same questions, and the answers are as simple as they are ethical: nobody is allowed to counterfeit money, and anyone can access it. No exceptions." – Gigi
Today we dive into an amazing piece published at Citadel21, and by the one and only Gigi, on the ethics encoded in the Fiat and Bitcoin systems, and how they make or break the human soul. The rules of the game establish how we relate to it, and how we can understand the purpose and meaning in its play. The best way to demoralize a person & make their efforts meaningless is to "change the rules, change them often, and change them arbitrarily."

A lot to unpack and think about! A bunch of problems with the same root cause: fiat money, but also a clear path out resulting in a diversity with it‘s origin in a simple set of general rules: bitcoin

That clip is exactly what I have been feeling but couldnt express. The absolute meaningless monotony of working at the bottom to keep the top fed feels heavier every day. People are always going to hope but it feels like someone else is in control of the things we hope for so our dreams become someone else's dreams and our energy becomes someone else's energy. Other than saving in bitcoin I dont know what to do. You're great. Keep doing Isaiah's job.

Bitcoin is hope. Cryptography is our tool for liberation from State coercion. ✌️
