During the last few years of my service period, I began to feel that the army failed me big time, by essentially brainwashing me in to believing that I was actually protecting U.S. citizens, when in reality, I was just cannon fodder for the MIC. Took me a LONG time to realize this. Honestly, bitcoin was my solution to helping me become far less dependant on the regime that has its claws dug into everyone's skin. It didn't just free me from the fiat monetary system, it helped me realize a good many other things about our incorrigibly corrupt empire. #BitcoinStandard

True, as well. I've lost friends because of our disagreement over me allocating almost all of my money in to bitcoin. I guess, that means that they were never real "friends" to begin with. It is lonely, that's for sure, as most won't want to see you have more success than them. They'll act like they do, but its rare to find someone that's genuine in their support, imo.

Yep🎉😎! You are right about that!

In summary, I just want to say that choosing to become less reliant on the fiat system has, in turn, made me far less reliant on a multitude of centralized totalitarian networks. In other words, once you go on a bitcoin standard you begin to realize just how much these systems have depreciated. Max-normies understand this fairly well too, I'm pretty certain, it's just that being raised to support groupthink mentality has deterred their willingness to opt-out, as well as deteriorated much of their capacity to contemplate vital things like critical thinking, innovation, and ethical boundaries (the last one has me especially worried).

P.S. your post has given me an idea for a fun little social experiment😁🫡
