We live in exciting times!

I'm actually quite fascinated by what's going on right now. I never thought we'd have the option of a quiet, peaceful revolution, but here it is. I'm actually excited!

I never thought bitcoin would be basically draining resources from the all powerful global banks. Whenever they try to take it down it just gets back up stronger. Why? It's because people have an interest in making it work. Why? Greed. The design is so elegant it just appeals to our very nature.

We're poking the dragon's heel with a needle and the needle is just going to get bigger and bigger until it turns into a sword that can slay the dragon. The more we use cash for small transactions the weaker the banks get. The more we use bitcoin for larger transactions or international payments the weaker the banks get. The more we keep our savings in gold/bitcoin or anything else that doesn't belong to the banks the weaker the banks get. They use our money against us. Time to take it back! When Lightning gets fully implemented there will be a revolution. It will be fast, it will be peaceful, it will be an overall positive change and it will be decentralized.

TL;DR: Use cash for small transactions and bitcoin for either large transactions, international payments or simply storing value. Soon we'll have LN deployed and we'll be able to use bitcoin for things like daily groceries or coffee. Oh, right. Forgot an important one: HODL most of it, spend some of it and then reload.
