I'm writing this post because I see it everywhere on this forum. People who just talk about Bitcoin pump(s), $ price, € price and so on... even most legendary members do it!


I think most Bitcoin users miss what Bitcoin really is and what Satoshi wanted it to be.
If you read the white paper, there's no mention about Bitcoin as a digital asset. Satoshi just wanted to create a payment system, a strong one and much better than the traditional ones.

But right now, Bitcoin is mainly considered as a digital asset, digital gold, just an investment tool to make (quick) profit. That's wrong, in my opinion.

I think Bitcoin users are raping Satoshi's original view, thinking only about BTC's value on exchanges.


What most don't understand is that Satoshi gave us a huge power. The power to destroy and make disappear forever the whole old banking system, other online payment systems like paypal and maybe governments too. Forever.

He gave us the power to decentralize everything using the blockchain technology. In short, Satoshi gave us the power the change the world for the better.


So why are you focusing only on Bitcoin's price on exchanges?


Imagine this.

A world where you can send money anywhere and to anyone in the world, instantly and with low fees.
A world where you can buy anything using Bitcoin, from coffees to yatchs.
A world where you can get all the privacy you want.
A world without banks.
A world without old currencies, that only create inflation.
A world where you pay only the taxes you wanna pay and not what you are forced to pay.


I think Satoshi's original view was very revolutionary.
A decentralized payment system and a deflationary currency. A real digital cash.


But now, Bitcoin has becomed just a digital asset. Maybe a toy for rich people to get even richer.
What's so revolutionary about it? The world is already full of assets and investment tool...


In short, Bitcoin lost most of its revolutionary appeal.

I strongly suggest you to change your consideration about Bitcoin. Now it's time to choose, because what we - as a community - decide now will influence all the future history of Bitcoin.


So, what do you prefer? A brick of gold or a better world?

yes bitcoin is not only about price and making profit and even some think bitcoin as investment to make profit but not at all such. People buy bitcoin and keep hold those bitcoin to sell when price gets up but actually the main intention of satoshi was to make the world revolutionize so he had introduced such currency to make hassle free transaction across the world and with full privacy and security but we the common people had managed to make profit only.
Yes kore it's the tume to change our perspective and we should see bitcoin as currency instead of money making and investment. Bitcoin is simple a currency and we should use it in our day to day life where ever possible do that out next generation could go cashless and that with secure technology.

And i am impressed with your forward steps towards bitcoin and yes together we can make the change if we have positive thinking and efforts. And we should start the journey of cashless transaction and in future wr could take pride that yes we did it nad the world is following us.
