I was reading some text by Victor Frankl and in it he believed that the most important thing we can do for our fellow human beings is to give them hope for the future. With regards to the bitcoin, its purpose is in line with this idea. In the Bitcoin White paper, it is outlined that Bitcoin represents a decentralized financial system, that will offer hope for economic empowerment and financial inclusion, especially in regions facing economic instability or lacking access to traditional banking. By granting people the power to be in charge of their finances through non-custodial wallets, and offering an alternative to centralized systems, Bitcoin carries with it the hope for a more equitable and inclusive future. You can see the connections between these two and it is phenomenal. It is just amamzing. Isn't it. I just thought to share it here.
Here we go again with treating bitcoin as if it's the second coming of Jesus Christ.
It's good and all that we revere bitcoin to a certain degree, to a lot of us here, we can deny how it changed our lives for the better and that's one big truth, but, making out bitcoin as some sort of ticket to financial freedom just isn't right, even though we have people here who fllipped millions of dollars thank to the cryptocurrency giant.
The thing is that, when you paint the narrative that bitcoin is nothing but a cash cow that people can use to instantly earn money whenever they please, you're inviting the wrong community of people to the industry, the ones that are not healthy for crypto in general as they will only be here for the instant profit, and when they can't get that, they'd cry and complain and spread FUD and lies wherever they go, which is not good for the industry. So if you want to dial in with the right community and set fair expectations towards those who just got into crypto right now, stop with the narrative that "bitcoin is the hope of the future" or "bitcoin is the answer to poverty", it's not. Your financial freedom still lies in your hands, work your ass off and be smart about money.
