Unmasking the truth, showing their true faces.
During covid, the governments around the world violated human rights and in Switzerland, they also violated our constitution. By instilling fear in the population and scapegoating enemies within our society, they implemented new laws that increased surveillance and control over citizens.
-BUT-
This also presented an opportunity for many to see the truth. By masking most people, the authorities revealed their real faces. The lies were visible to anyone open enough to question them. The controlled mass media produced stories to amplify fear and division among the population.
During that time, I bought a book from 1939 that demonstrated how masses can be deceived. I highly recommend this book: "Psychologie des foules" by Gustave Le Bon. You can find the text in different languages, and it's also available for free.
Gustave explains how masses can be influenced through division and fear. People stop acting as individuals and follow whatever authority dictates. They enter a trance-like state. Discover this for yourself by asking your friends about the covid years. Those who blindly followed the rules barely remember what actually happened—it has become a faded memory. Those who could see behind the masks clearly remember every detail.
Now for the positive part.
When you apply pressure to something, two outcomes are possible: either the material breaks or it becomes stronger. Consider carbon—the outcome could be a diamond. Look at mung bean sprouts; when you place weight on them, their stems grow thicker and stronger. I grew stronger.
It took me a whole year from the moment a dear friend told me about bitcoin, to the moment I bought my first sats. Then I started reading, researching, and thinking.
Imagine you're trapped in the centre of a labyrinth and suddenly you're given wings.
Wings that lift you above the imprisonment of the labyrinth-the system that traps you with countless distractions, so many lies and constructs. Bitcoin gives you those wings; they lift you out of the system. Of course, I experimented with those shiny crypto tokens and promises of quick money. But they aren't wings—they melt your wings away, and like Icarus, you fall quickly. But unlike Icarus, you have a second chance.
Fortunately, the first book I read was "The Bitcoin Standard" by Saifedean Ammous, followed by "Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas M. Antonopoulos.
- The first book shaped my understanding of the entire concept of money and helped me hold onto my bitcoin, even during the crypto phase. I kept every bitcoin and moved gains toward it and into cold storage thanks to this book.
https://saifedean.com/tbs - The second book helped me understand how ingenious Bitcoin is as a protocol. To be honest, I wasn't able to read every part of it, as it delves into actual programming. However, it helped and still helps me understand the mechanism, and once I can look under the hood, NOTHING will change my mind.

Understanding—truly understanding—empowers me. Now I'm mentally free from the restraints of government, banks, and the system. Well, I still live within the system or labyrinth, so to speak, but I have my wings. I'm stronger, sovereign, and incorruptible.
This is quite amusing in the end. Dictators (speaking of the covid regime), try to impose control and surveillance. Plebs, people, us, can simply move to a different system. Detached, free and human.
Humanity is amazing.
During covid the restrictions in Switzerland were harsh; some companies even fired unvaccinated employees. The response? An online group quickly formed to connect employers who didn't care about vaccination status with potential candidates.
Restaurants were only accessible with a medical certificate. The response? Groups organized private dinners at home. The police had to control and punish the population. The response? A group called "We for You" was created within the police force, connecting officers who disagreed with the authoritarian measures.
Humanity is amazing.
New political parties were built that reinforced human rights. Free legal help became available. Demonstrations of free thinkers were organized. Scientists and doctors created a group to look behind the lies. Some even proved the virus theory to be wrong, disproving the infection theory and much more.
The more you oppress people, the more freedom is created.
Put on your wings, fly above the labyrinth, and connect with others to create and live in the new system. As Jeff Booth puts it, we've never experienced living in a truly free market where prices naturally fall. Give yourself time to learn how to use your wings. Learn, learn, learn. Knowledge brought me freedom and understanding. But I'm still learning every day. It's important to know the basics—understanding the inflationary debt-based system we live in and how Bitcoin functions. Learn about self-custody. Learn how to run your own node. Maybe even learn how to use a small miner. But most importantly, use your bitcoin. The more you use it, the faster mass adoption progresses. You can pay and replace, meaning you buy the same amount in bitcoin that you spent on a coffee.
Since you're reading this on Nostr, you've already taken a big step toward reclaiming your power. By holding the private keys to your profile, you're in charge of what you publish and read. It belongs to YOU. Nobody can take it.
The same goes for Bitcoin—it belongs to YOU. Imagine how amazing this is: you could simply remember 12 words and relocate anywhere you want with all your wealth.
Once you live on a Bitcoin Standard, fully or even partially, you'll see your life changing. (To be honest, at the time of writing, I'm still far from it, but I'm giving myself time.) Bitcoiners are a wonderful community; it's not about believing in Bitcoin—it's about exchanging real value and providing value for others.
If you want see the full potential of bitcoin, I can warmly recommend the book "Beyond Money" by Daniella Liberati. It helps you to go further than just money; it reconnects you with your true spiritual self. Read it-it will give you bigger wings that lift you into a different sphere of understanding.
Humanity is amazing.
We are the ones who create our lives. We are the ones who create our reality. The more you free yourself from a restrictive system, the easier it becomes to create your own reality based on what your soul wants to experience and express.
You'll connect with like-minded—or better yet, like-souled—fellow humans. Life will provide you with whatever you need. Maybe not what your ego wants, but what your soul needs to grow.
I've been seeking spiritual insights since my teenage years. Perhaps it's the same curiosity that drives me to understand life, the functioning and base principles of things, as it is to learn about the mechanics behind Bitcoin. Understanding who we are—not just as bodies, but as beings shaped by society, parental, or religious beliefs. The moment we're willing to understand, our soul will lead us toward a future beyond the limited perception of our mind. Science teaches us that just because you cannot see infrared or ultraviolet light doesn't mean it isn't there. Our existence can be described as living within worlds that are within worlds. We are multidimensional beings; we can do so much more with our lives than we currently do.
I've experienced firsthand glimpses of other realities, especially during my mediumship training but sometimes also in daily life. The moment you shift your perception from your physical body to your energy body or even your soul, you can feel a different frequency as if it were physical. These moments are sacred to me.
What does this have to do with Bitcoin?
Well, the fiat system we currently live in is based on debt and requires inflation to function, so we have to work more and more just to get through life. But when we're free from the fiat system and start pricing our expenses from the Bitcoin Standard point of view, everything becomes cheaper. We can start reducing working hours, perhaps by taking one additional day off per week. This time gives us the opportunity to do what we love. To learn about the mysteries of the universe, or simply have a beer with a friend and be human.
Maybe you've always wanted to learn Tai Chi, or perhaps you've always wanted to paint, write, or sing. Whatever your heart desires can pave your way to a reality of true humanity. You are a creator of your own world; your life is the canvas to paint on. Living in a system where true value is appreciated, you can grow freely. The increasing value of bitcoin as money is like the water and nourishment a tree needs to grow bigger and stronger than before.
Humanity is amazing.
In all humility, we are the creators of our world. By giving your time and energy to the new system—the Bitcoin Standard—we create a world where we can be human again.
We can be kind. We can reach out. We can heal.
You don't need any external force or mental constructs to understand life. You have everything inside of you already. Simply put, just be aware of your breath and heartbeat right now. Isn't life itself a miracle?
Humanity is amazing. You are amazing. You have the ability to feel love within you. Be aware of this love; connect to your heart. This is so simple but it will truly change your life.
You are amazing.
