You make a statement of faith.
Your statement is one of hope, but not certainty.
Humans are frail and weak as individuals.
While western civilisation makes a cult of individualism it is through collective action we generally achieve wealth and security.
The nation state remains a significant factor in the wealth of nations and Bitcoin challenges one of governments most potent levers.
Bitcoin has some amazing characteristics- arguably an improvement upon gold- but gold has itself been largely captured by governments and bankers...the same fate could befall Bitcoin too...time will tell.
How many people really want to be free?
One day, when we are all dust, Bitcoin will still be here.
Cranking out blocks every 10 minutes.
Validating transactions, destroying and creating UTXOs.
That is a thing of beauty, of elegance.
One day the world will figure that out and it will be astounded… and in my opinion it will be so obvious.
Bitcoin will survive us all and it will be beautiful.
