IF YOU DON'T BUY BITCOIN, YOU CAN'T BE RICH

Rich is a subjective term, yet it is apparent that those with no bitcoin unknowingly lack the freedom necessary for true wealth.

Undoubtedly, fiat millionaires will read the title of this article and laugh.

Assuredly, the great empires of Rome, Venice and Constantinople also had many rich people enjoying the various splendors of wealth.

Indeed, turkeys live happy lives — until Thanksgiving.

If we can consider the fiat ice cube melting, it would be wise to conceptualize that, until the ice is fully melted, the water feels cold. It isn’t until this ice is melted that the water left behind rapidly warms relative to the temperature of the space the water is in.

Many believe that they are keeping themselves safe by investing their money into various assets, such as equities and real estate.

I wager that if they simply witnessed the shifting sands beneath their castle, they would immediately retract their feeling of freedom and ability.
