Issue #98 - Polite reminder to own some bitcoin... just encase.
The latest events are a reminder that owning bitcoin gives value transfer options.
Hola 👋
Thank you for reading. Welcome.
The world is in a funny place. And the people and organizations that have accumulated positions of influence and power are demonstrating that they can make mistakes and abuse it.
This is a reason why Bitcoin is important. It puts the power, literally in your control.
If you haven’t tried, take a look at the free My First Bitcoin Diploma. As once people experience the power, it’s hard to not consider the benefits.
Have a great week.
