It’s So Early!
What does Being a Bitcoin pleb mean to me?
These are the early days. Though I’m Class of 2021, I still know we’re so early for Bitcoin adoption. I know this because of the plebs. Because of my fellow Stackchainers. I don’t identify by the dollar. I don’t necessarily have anything in common with anyone who uses the dollar. There’s no such thing as going to your local Dollar meetup to talk about how much you believe in the dollar. That’s just a unit of account. That’s not Bitcoin.
We Bitcoin plebs are the early adopters. We’re the pioneers heading west to the new frontier. To be in Bitcoin now, especially to be a Bitcoin Maxi Pleb, means that we share some values in common: the ability to be open-minded. To admit we were wrong about what we thought money was. To embrace this concept of proof of work to establish proof of ownership.
Rather than blindly believe, we don’t trust. We verify.
To be a Bitcoin pleb, to find your tribe, that’s what Stackchain Magazine means to me.
One day, everyone will use Bitcoin. It will not be special. Instead, it will be obvious. Everyone around the world will use Bitcoin as their unit of account. One day, I won’t identify with Bitcoiners or share the same values with all Bitcoiners since everyone will use Bitcoin, just as all people use fiat currency like the dollar today.Traders lament that the best strategy with Bitcoin is to simply HODL. They complain that while we can understand Bitcoin so early, and start stacking now, there’s no way to generate yield as we approach hyperbitcoinization, but it’s not true.
The true yield of Bitcoin is the friends we stackchain along the way.
