    Bitcoin gave me hope

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 12:20 AM PST

    I'm from Lebanon and if some people here are jot aware, we're going through a disastrous economic/social/political crisis, went through a 2700 tons ammonium nitrate explosion at the port, and to top it all COVID lockdowns. I lost my first job because of the explosion and my second one because of lockdowns, banks won't allow us to withdraw our own money and our currency is worthless now due to a 380% inflation rate (1USD is now worth around 8,500Lebanese pounds) In July I put all I had left in Bitcoin, and after the explosion in August, I started freelancing for Bitcoin jobs I found on some subs here and from my Instagram illustrations page. In the last 4 months I saved more than I did in the last year and, not only my money did not lose its value but it practically doubled! Bitcoin is freedom, Bitcoin is our only way out!

    It boggles my mind so many of us are cheering on traditional institutions buying unfathomable amounts of BTC, instead of being vigilant and wary.

    There is simply too much greed and too little sense.

    BTC survived 2017's attempted coup, but that will not be the last time they try. And next time, those attempting the coup will be much more sophisticated, with deeper pockets, a thorough understanding of BTC's protocol and its weaknesses, a paid army of programmers and private keys to large quantities of BTC, if not the majority of it. For all we know, someone somewhere already has a plan and is laying the groundwork for it. I say this because even though code and math cannot be bought, corrupted, imprisoned or executed, the people and institutions that write them can.

    The closer we are to the moon, the more dangerous and treacherous the road gets. We need cautious optimism, rather than allowing our greed to lead us to blinding euphoria.

    Which is more important; that we individually become wealthy, or that we collectively have BTC endure in this world?

    More vigilance, less trust.

    Thank you for being truly wonderful!

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 03:37 AM PST

    I hope I'm okay to post this here.

    I posted a few days ago asking for advice on whether or not I should invest $30 in Bitcoin, a birthday gift from my mother, and after receiving a lot of mostly great advice, I decided to save the money. I'd had free crypto before, through coinbase earn, but gave that away to the BLM protest funds, when those brave people were being arrested, and I'd never dared to buy any myself. Especially with things being tough. The next day after I posted, however, a fellow redditor, one of you wonderful people sent me a DM offering to gift me some bitcoin. I'll not say the amount or anything, as I've not asked for that user's permission. But I just want to say that I truly love humanity, all of you, and the overall goodness of this world.

    2019-2020 haven't been fair to a lot of us, and things can look bad at times, dreadful even. I had moments myself, where I'd sat alone at night and thought about ending things. But that's never ever a time to give up, because there's always people who love you, and sometimes, you've not even met them yet.

    I was a nobody before I joined reddit, and still am just a guy busting his ass while looking after his elderly mother, but your kind gesture has changed my world from a place of sorrow, to a environment of hope.

    Thank you so much to not only that kind redditor, but to all of you for being so damned wonderful.

    ♥ ♥ ♥
