Bitcoin Makes Us Whole

We experience 2 states:

“Being” and “Doing”

Both are essential for humanity

Be Well and Do Good

We have been in a state of Doing for so long

We have produced

We have consumed

We have spent our time & energy

We want to “Be” more and “Do” less

We want to appreciate

Appreciate the now

Appreciate each other

But we fight:

“We must first Do Good to Be Well!”

“We must first Be Well to Do Good!”

But we must remember

That to Be Well

We must Do Good

And to Do Good

We must Be Well

Yin & Yang

Chicken & Egg

Our battery is charged, preserved, or wasted

Through money

The money that preserved it best was gold

Its scarce supply allowed us to Be Well

We could save and rest

Rather than fearing our future

We could create it

But its physical nature prevented us from Doing Good for enough Beings

So we abandoned money for credit out of good intentions

But credit leads to temptation

We gave into borrowing, speculation, and exploitation

We realized our sins in the Great Depression

But we wanted to escape hell

More debt unchained us from it

And we tossed those chains onto future generations

For a century, the powerful have incentivized us to “Do”

Through exponentially more debt

And now, our battery is almost spent

The current that charges us is fading fast

We all know it

We all feel it

History shows that a reset is inevitable

The powerful may try it with gold

As they have in the past

But its physical nature prevents us from Doing Good for enough Beings

Thus restarting the cycle of fear & greed

And exploitation of our world

Humanity has been gifted 1 chance

To avoid swinging back the other way

And jump from a pendulum owned by the powerful

Onto an incorruptible network owned by everyone

The poor can now preserve and charge their battery

Through humility & knowledge

And appreciating, finite, digital money

While the powerful waste theirs

Through pride & ignorance

And depreciating, abundant, physical property

We will be able to exchange and measure value in peace

When the return on violence is less than providing value to another

We will no longer deceive and steal

When only honest labor and investment are rewarded

We will not pass on our debt

When the cost to borrow is greater than the cost to work

Lives will be saved and built

By allowing more Beings to Do Good

Not only in the physical world

But in the digital world

Digital gold will bring us balance

So that we can forever Be Well and Do Good

Bitcoin Makes Us Whole.
