The Case for Bitcoin Harbors: Redefining Economic Freedom 🏴☠️
In a world where legacy institutions are crumbling under their own weight, Bitcoin communities emerge as safe havens for economic freedom and self-sovereignty, in a sea of uncertainty.
In this post, I advocate for a new perspective on these communities and want to introduce a new way to see them: Bitcoin Harbors.
Today, we’re witnessing the birth of hundreds of Bitcoin communities, all around the world.
We often call them Bitcoin Circular Economies, emphasizing trade and commerce on a Bitcoin standard.
But we should probably rethink the term Circular Economy...
The concept of "Circular Economy" describes a closed system where waste is minimized by keeping resources in use for as long as possible through recycling and reuse, and limiting the use of new resources that are outside the system.
While it may appear harmless at first glance, a closer examination reveals that the concept of 'Circular Economy' is deeply rooted in climate alarmism, based on the idea of resources scarcity, and often draped in anti-capitalist rhetoric.
The theory of the "Circular Economy" fundamentally goes against the idea of economic flourishing and entrepreneurship.
Its supporters instead promote state intervention and legislation to curb basic human action, such as production and consumption.
Yet, Bitcoiners know better.
We know that consumerism is the consequence of a broken monetary system that encourages high time-preference.
We know that the Fiat system is responsible for creating the broken incentives that push individuals to spend instead of save.
We know that the solution lies, not in adding even more regulatory overhaul, but instead in removing money from the hands of the governments.
This is where Bitcoin diverges from the Circular Economy concept. Here I want to introduce another concept: Harbors.
During the Age of Exploration, sailors, merchants and pirates left the old world to explore a new frontier, discovering new lands and establishing new trade routes worldwide.
These individuals were driven by the quest for freedom, self-sovereignty and liberty, and established communities in harbors, all around the globe.
Harbors emerged as hubs of freedom and commerce, and quickly became the epicenters of the emerging trade routes, laying the foundation for the development of global trade, and spurring a new era of economic growth for humanity.
Today, Bitcoin and the internet expanded humanity's horizons, revealing a vast open sea, waiting to be explored.
Just as sailors left old shores for new horizons, Bitcoiners are now leaving the old crumbling world to sail the information sea, seeking freedom and self-sovereignty.
They are building interconnected communities based on a Bitcoin Standard, resisting the Fiat System, all around the world.
Bitcoin allows for instant digital trade, meshing these local communities into a global unstoppable network.
These communities, just like harbors during the Age of Exploration, will flourish and become the epicenters of the global trade routes of tomorrow, free from the yoke of the fiat overlords, and operating on a Bitcoin standard.
Bridging the analog and digital worlds, Bitcoiners are the explorers, merchants, and pirates of this new uncharted territory.
They sail the vast information sea, resisting the gravitational pull of fiat currencies, constructing Bitcoin Harbors -- bastions of self-sovereignty and economic empowerment.
Together, we're building the future of global free trade, on a Bitcoin standard.
