Have you ever imagined your life without Bitcoin?? 🤔🍊

Thinking about many things, this crossed my mind.
Understanding how the monetary system and the government system really works, we realize that without Bitcoin we would be mere slaves forever. Since it is well known that the only means to avoid ruin and preserve value that had existed for humanity until then had been gold 🪙 and it is also well known that it is not something within everyone's reach (as Bitcoin is, allowing Stacking from 1 sats onwards). It is not within the reach of the common citizen for various reasons, whether due to a high entry barrier, a lack of places to acquire it or because it is difficult to verify when you are not an expert, making it easy to falsify. For these and many other reasons, literally ordinary human beings 👣 had nothing like preserving our energy generated and processed through work.
So if bitcoin didn't exist we would be condemned to eternal decay induced by the system itself.
If bitcoin didn't exist I wouldn't even be writing these lines.
And of course if bitcoin didn't exist we couldn't be optimistic about the future.
What do you think, have you ever thought something like that? Have you ever imagined life without bitcoin after having known and learned about it?

Knowing and realizing that Bitcoin is the only thing that helps you wake up from the fallacy of fiat money is something surprising. Before knowing it, I was asleep because of the system; only the hyperinflation that occurred in my country made me wake up.

My path down the rabbit hole🐰is really short yet... But the truth is that my thinking has gone to the next level... and I wish that Bitcoin remains there for the rest of my life... 🏃🏃🏃

I totally agree and I feel the same as you, bitcoin has changed my life forever. And I have also been in the midst of a short time since I understood it and began to give it the importance it deserves in my life.

yeah, truly. I'd be much less optimistic without this escape valve. (But, contrary to that, I'm pretty convinced that something else would emerge to help us navigate the "eternal decay")

I understand your optimism, but I find it quite difficult that there would be another one similar to Bitcoin, with all its benefits and advantages.

Sorry, I meant in the absence of bitcoin. We'd eventually get to a place where something would help

Ok, and tell me more or less what you think it could be? or how it could be? Until there was nothing capable of helping us preserve value, something within everyone's reach and that would concentrate all the good properties that Bitcoin offers us.

System was/is unsustainable; something had to give. Milei-style overhaul, Bukele-type crackdown, central banks re-acquiring gold, democracy overhaul etc.
Saif used to say things like "the greatest threat to bitcoin's success is countries going back on a gold standard."
