All aspects of Bitcoin

Money printing has allowed UNEARNED WEALTH to concentrate in the hands of the Banking & Wall St elite, effectively devaluing the Dollar, Pound and Euro leaving your savings, pensions and investments effectively plundered.

Bitcoin Fixes This !

​Since the 2008 crash the money printing has gone into overdrive.
It's has mostly gone to bailing out the Banks, Wall Street, Share buy backs, Bowing AKA the Military Industrial Complex, the world biggest polluter & war machine ever !

​BAD ACTORS HAVE CONTROL OF A NEVER ENDING SUPPLY OF MONEY !

Fiat money 💵 💷 💶 looses value by design. So instead of just saving people are forced to invest in pensions / business to preserve their wealth. Typically these investments would be Oil & Gas, Tar Sands, Fracking, buying up indigenous land, rain forests etc. These are rarely eco friendly.

Saifedean Ammous - The Bitcoin Standard

   When a pseudonymous programmer introduced “a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party” to a small online mailing list in 2008, very few paid attention. Ten years later, and against all odds, this upstart autonomous decentralised software offers an unstoppable and globally-accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks.

Bitcoin price / investment

   Investing in Bitcoin is definitely a bit of a roller coaster ride, but if you can handle the volatility over a 4 year period you'll be very unlikely to lose out. Many big banks have now entered the market with ETF's which means business investors are going to buy bitcoin. THERE IS < 2 MILLION BITCOINS LEFT - EVER ! Or should I say < 200 Trillion Satoshi left - EVER ! ​Limited supply + the halving + meats huge demand = 🚀🌔
