There’s something about Bitcoin that changes people.

Maybe it’s the humility of having your worldview flipped upside down. Maybe it’s the kind of person it attracts—truth seekers, curious minds, those willing to challenge the status quo.

Or maybe it’s something deeper.

What happens to people when they base their value on something that isn’t rooted in theft?

When money operates on fair rules, and value can’t be stolen through inflation, does the world become better? Absolutely.

But do people themselves become better? I’m starting to think yes.

Bitcoin forces you to think long-term. It makes you reevaluate what matters. It aligns incentives in a way that’s fair, honest, and transparent.

And when people live by those principles, it changes them—for the better.

Maybe Bitcoin affects those of us going deep down the rabbit hole the most right now. We’ve had to learn about it deeply, often on our own, as the only Bitcoiner in our circle. And that has changed us.

But what happens when 8 billion people live under a fair system?

When everyone interacts with Bitcoin, there’s a multiplying effect. A world where every individual operates under rules that are fair and honest.

It’s hard to imagine that not making the world, and the people in it, better. Bitcoin is already doing that—one person at a time.
