Bitcoin hasn't taught me to want more but to desire less. When you have a currency that doesn't depreciate, that gains value over time, and that can't be taken away by anyone, not even the most powerful person in the world, your priorities shift.
The shoes you liked become less important. With the same money, in a few years, you could go on vacation or even buying a car or a house, so anything that doesn't leave a lasting memory becomes unnecessary.
The money we use today lose value while we hold them, forcing us to surround ourselves with unnecessary things just to 'keep the economy going'. The goal should instead be to return to pure capitalism, the kind our grandparents practiced when they saved money to pursue their dreams.
‘Stack sats’ is an invitation to put aside something every week, every month, in a form of money that can't be manipulated and controlled by governments.
The only good thing about the traditional financial system is that since 2009, there's been a way out.
🤚 I opt out. #bitcoin
