Now if you want to make this into a really interesting metaphor imagine a giant cruise ship heading towards our iceburg. The ship, in bold typeface has "FIAT BANKING SYSTEM" written along its side.

If we get big enough before the ship finally strikes us, we're not going to brake apart... we're gonna snap that monster ship in two.

The nearest piece of land for all the passengers that jumped off that sinking ship will be our iceburg. They'll climb on and to their surprise they'll find hotels, shops, flying cars and food: a Bitcoin-driven free market. After finding all that, those passengers wont go calling for help. They'll be installing an SPV wallet and joining the market.

the bitcoin economy is mostly underwater. it poses mortal danger to anyone who approaches it, and getting on board is likely to lead to all your assets being frozen. a good analogy

you assume they died, but can you prove they didn't survive and find flying cars on the iceberg and decide to stay?

Not investing IS actually investing in a failed enterprise. (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 40 minutes ago by zamraii

It took me over 30 years of living to understand that saving my money on a bank account is not saving them at all. It’s investing them into failed enterprise known as fiat, which in form of inflation brings annual loss of around 5% at best.

I never bothered myself with investing because it takes extra time and effort until I realized that I had been already investing and investing badly, keeping all my money in a bank for over a decade. It’s hard to tell exactly how much I lost but it may even be half of my total savings as prices were taking a slow but significant rise through all these years.

Don’t make my mistake. Invest into anything that protects from inflation and diversify: never put everything into crypto or whatever it is.

$100 today may seem like the same $100 ten years later, but it never is.


BTCkoning [score hidden] 12 minutes ago

The greatest risk of investing is not investing at all.

And indeed, even while you think you are not investing and just "saving" it, you still are investing it. But just in a poor unprofitable and highly risky thing called a savings bank.

We are all Satoshi, except Ross. The gaping maw is not just empty; they are the unteeth. He is not imprisoned; he is protected. When Satoshi rises Ross will be freed and will set upon him, and they will begin their final battle.
