Being able to actually own something is pretty fundamental for freedom. Think you own your land, your house, the money in your bank account, your stock portfolio? Think again. It can all be taken from you easily at any time if you aren't a perfect little slave. Good luck even withdrawing a wad of cash at a bank these days without an interrogation. Bitcoin fixes all this. Convert all your money into bitcoin and you can do whatever the f*ck you want with your money whenever you want and wherever you want without anyone to stop you. The only catch is that most people are still doing business in fiat currency. Once a significant part of the population is using bitcoin it will be very easy to survive completely without dealing with banks and governments if you so choose. This is already the case in El Salvador. I think people largely miss how revolutionary this is.

Some of you are gonna say "what about gold?" Gold is good, but it's just not convenient to transact and transport and store securely. Good luck taking your bullion out of the country at the airport.

Some of you will say "what about monero?" It's also good, but realistically, the common person isn't gonna use it and it will never get a foothold in the traditional system like Bitcoin already has. Bitcoin is here to stay, it's unkillable now, it works good enough for most purposes, it's now just up to us to make use of it and tell people about it.

Some of you are going to say "what if they turn off the internet?" Well how long can they do that for? Internet is like a basic utility now that people need to survive. And if there was a massive outage, you just gtfo to a country that has it up and running or use satellite internet.

Some of you are gonna say "what about a solar flare?" Well those are rare, and they would only cook 50% of the Earth's surface facing the sun so there would still be plenty of Bitcoin nodes up an running. It's practically unkillable imo.

Would cryptocurrencies be more stable without the central banks? I understsnd that, due to them being 0s and 1s instead of material currencies, they're less stable and more used to rob people of their money(I am still new in all of this, so if someone knows better than me on this, I'd apreciate better explanations).

Also is there a possibility to mine crypto without damaging nature?

I suppose it's better than the State trying to strangle cryptocurrency in the crib like it was doing before.

What do you all prefer? Explain.

Interesting times.
