As someone that’s a child of migrant parents that moved thousands of miles for a better life from the one they had in farmland Mexico one thing I discovered as I grew up in the US and went to school for finance is that their life wasn’t really bad, they had better food, family, and community. Their issues was the monetary system they had to deal with in an unstable, single party political system which they had to transact on.

Bitcoin is our global migration from a system that usurps our capital (social, physical, et al) for the gain of a few people.

I think it’s more mistrust of the current establishment. With the whole Epstein thing, my wife has been saying “why would I pay taxes to these people” and “I don’t want to shop at ‘x’ store because what if they are tied to Epstein” she is someone we would consider a “normie” she is starting to see it, I think more have

Just FYI:

After being first discovered, it took thousands of years before gold was used in trades and thousands of years more before it was coinage and used as money

Bitcoin is 17 years old

We are early

Keep stacking

One of the things I miss about the pre-Trump alignment of bitcoiners is that they were actually against big government. Now we have a huge cohort of bootlickers that don’t understand the ethos of what bitcoin is really about.
