The theater of fiat: living through projections Fiat money is, in essence, a projection. It has no backing, only forced faith in governments and central banks.
Screens repeat mantras: moderate inflation is good, infinite growth is necessary, debt is normal.
Everyone accepts it as dogma, even when the simplest logic contradicts it. The dark figure projecting the dollar in the image is the perfect summary: the system feeds on our obedience. And like any theater, it only survives as long as the audience keeps watching.

The prisoners: addiction and resignation They stare at the dollar symbol as if it were the only reality. They ignore the trash around them, the bones beneath their feet, and the misery consuming them.
It’s the perfect metaphor for today’s society: indebted, numbed by empty entertainment, resigned to an increasingly fragile future. And here’s the disturbing part: many don’t want to leave. Because staring at the screen is easier than facing the harshness of reality.
Modern slavery doesn’t always need visible chains; sometimes it’s enough to convince you there’s no alternative.

Historical caves of money This is not the first time humanity has been chained to monetary illusions.
When Nixon closed the gold window in 1971, the whole world was trapped in a cave of paper without backing. Since then, the shadow of the dollar has been mistaken for light. In Argentina, entire generations have watched the screen of a peso in constant devaluation. In Venezuela, millions saw their savings evaporate but kept staring at the theater of the bolívar until there was nothing left to perform. In Turkey, the lira has bled out in just a few years, and yet most of the population still trusts the very system that betrayed them. In every case, only a minority sought an exit: gold, dollars, barter… and today, Bitcoin. History shows that the majority prefer the comfort of the cave, even as it collapses.

Fear as the invisible chain Why is it that, even when they see the exit, most don’t dare to climb?
The answer is fear.
Fear of making a mistake. Fear of losing what little they have. Fear of volatility, even though inflation is a certainty. The culture of “better the devil you know” is the true cement of the chains.
Meanwhile, banks and governments feed this paralysis by promising security in exchange for obedience.
Fear is so effective it doesn’t even need bars – it just installs the idea that leaving is dangerous.

The difficult path to the light One prisoner dares to climb. He has no guarantees, only hope.
Leaving the cave means unlearning, questioning everything we were taught about money, work, and security.
It’s tough, because it means abandoning the comfort of the shadows. Here lies the key lesson: buying Bitcoin and waiting for miracles is not enough.
Leaving also requires a change of mindset, learning digital sovereignty, and taking personal responsibility.
Freedom is not given – it is earned.

Bitcoin as sun and root On the surface, everything changes.
The sun with the Bitcoin symbol illuminates a fertile landscape, full of life and possibility.
The tree with deep roots symbolizes solid growth, stability, and connection with reality, against the artifices of fiat. Bitcoin is not just an alternative money: it is a new language that connects us with the truth of limits.
A system with clear, transparent, immutable rules.
A refuge from manipulation and a tool for rebuilding new forms of community, trust, and prosperity from the ground up.

The other side of the sun: radical responsibility But beware: leaving the cave is not a fairy tale.
The light of Bitcoin can also blind those who are unprepared.
No one will rescue you if you lose your keys. No one will reimburse you if you trust the wrong custodian. Sovereignty carries weight: discipline, learning, maturity.
Perhaps that is why many reject Bitcoin – not because they don’t understand it, but because they’re not willing to shoulder that much responsibility.
Radical freedom is uncomfortable, and fiat thrives on that weakness.
