Imagine a system where the 'fees' to run that system actually went down nominally and yet simultaneously went up in real value to both the payee AND the system.

Vancouver Island! Went to Macaloney’s and Still Head! Was suppose to go to one more but we didn’t make our ferry reservation 🙈 so we were delayed two hours. Came back with 2 bottles of whisky though?

Despite my age I crave a comfy seat in the corner of a dimly lit nightclub surrounded by good friends, listening to some deep house music whilst sipping malt payed for in #bitcoin . Direct me #nostr. Is there such a place and where in the world do I need to travel to to find such bliss?

It’s pretty entertaining - they get so aggressive when you keep asking questions… then they swear and then start with your mom slurs.. my $4USD was at $18k so its grow pretty well haha! Telegram must be a cesspool of that shit!

What proverbial ladder? Whether or not I own a full coin surely doesn't dictate my superiority over another individual. Correct me if I'm wrong here but with that logic then Mr Saylor is roughly half a million times more 'elite' than I am. I fully appreciate the need for competition for example in sports or academia which involves an extraordinary display of proof of work to be classed as an elite and also facilitates progression and drive but in a base monetary system that as far as I can understand was created for the proverbial common good, then wouldn't you agree that it's slightly narcissistic to refer to yourself as an elite? That would also mean that even individuals that have never even heard of bitcoin as of this very moment could simply be advised that its beneficial to buy bitcoin tomorrow and by Tuesday you would class them as elite purely based on the fact that they had the fiat financial means to do so. I'm possibly being naive here but I reckon that attitude towards bitcoin has a strong affinity to the phrase " ah well mate, have fun staying poor!"

You’ve projected a sense of morality into the conversation that no one was talking about. I’ve made zero mention of superiority outside an objective measure of it via BTC ownership. Those with more are superior to those with less.

If you have 1 bitcoin you are in the top 0.01% globally.

I'll be honest with you @HODL I really like listening to you and i agree with what you stand for but i think you've missed the mark with this one. I mean being in the apparent top '0.01% globally' is that supposed to be some sort of accolade? History would surely tell us that this is a group that we dont really want to be associated with no? Is that really what bitcoin is about? Are we really measuring our perceived 'worth' based on how much bitcoin we each individually have? Seems a bit fiat to me to be honest. Just an opinion though lad, i mean no offence. Much Love. 🥃

Being at the top of anything globally is something to be celebrated. It marks an elite status in something nearly everyone on earth has access to. It is small, average-minded thinking that associates elitism with powerful, bad actors. If you have a whole coin and don’t want to be in the top 0.01%,...
