"for the entirety of the human species, it has been impossible to transfer value across time and space without trusting an intermediary."

...but Bitcoin...
Gold was sound money. Private ownership was banned by the US from 1933 - 1974 and the dollar taken off the gold standard in 1971. Tell me again why you think Gold is a better protection than Bitcoin?
Had a great chat with a friend about Bitcoin and investing yesterday. Instead of pushing her to buy, Coral and I suggested books and content to deepen her understanding. Knowing why people believe in Bitcoinβs potential is key to confident investing

"Bitcoin is too expensive"
"I should have bought it earlier"
"I missed my opportunity"
These are all excuses. Study what money is and why the dollar will continue to lose value and Bitcoin will continue to be more valuable.
You can still buy Bitcoin
It will be more expensive in the future
The opportunity to be early is still right in front of you.
"I'm too late to buy Bitcoin."
Is that ego speaking? Regret for not buying earlier? Lack of understanding because you think it's topped out?
What is that when you hear a statement like that from someone?
