I caught myself, after 9 years in Bitcoin, that I'm still not able to explain BTC to wedding guests in a short consise way that would make them say I WANT THIS NOW.

Bitcoin is not a religion
being a bitcoiner does not imply anything else
it doesn't mean that you can't like jazz or eat chocolate
it does not mean you can't pay with dollars
it just means that you understand money as tool of power and decided to take your power back
How many #Gold bars

looks the same
weighs the same

Gary Kasparov said today at #OFF that fighting against oppression is a stone mason's work.
You hit the rock many times and nothing happens. Then you hit one more time and the stone cracks open.
Never give up! Changes may not be visible, but they're happening.

In medieval times, rulers took 10% tax and people revolted.
Today they take 45% and more (up to 65-70% combined tax rate) and we're like quiet sheep.
Moreover, governments outsource law enforcement to private businesses, for free.
