#Bitcoin enables the tools to truly give an extremely outdated industry a huge wake up call, and possibly give birth to an entirely new standard of what escrow means. I wrote an article on it. Check it out.

Tell me a time when you got scammed in Bitcoin. I'll start: One time I ordered a raspberry pi from a seller and paid in Bitcoin. Never received my item and was SOL of $237 in Bitcoin. That was 2 years ago. Now I refuse to buy anything in Bitcoin unless I can dispute the charge.

Today, I was reminded on why I work in Bitcoin. I had to send a payment via Venmo for something, and I hadn’t used it in years. They needed a full KYC - It ended up taking me 10 minutes to go through the process. Just to send some lunch money. Fuck fiat.

Here’s a thought: I believe that #Bitcoin can, hypothetically, enable the tools and foundation to create a true break away society fleeing from the entire fiat world - and creating a new world by stemming political ideologies and systems that revolve around the Bitcoin ethos.
