Great article! Informative and easy to understand. Ideal for Bitcoin education. The old video of bill Gates talking about "the Internet thing" is a real revelation! Thanks Jesse!

Bitcoin is not an investment.

Bitcoin is a protest to the corrupt systems that govern our lives.

Certainly. But it succeeds because it is designed to perform as the best savings technology in the financial landscape. Both can be true

Great article Jesse. You manage to address topics I've often pondered, and address them more articulately than I ever could have pondered.

I love the elephant pic. Great way to visualize how hard it is to explain BTC.

Included in the intro - have to scale back the frequency of posts; have switched off paid subscriptions as a result.

Switched off or paused? If switched off then I assume new frequency will be for foreseeable future. Great for people on monthly subscriptions but what about those that have paid for the year? I really hate to bring this up Jesse but how would you feel if roles were reversed? You sign up for annual subscription of 2-3 posts a week that then drop to less than one a month. I appreciate if you’re busy but this should have been thought about and signalled to subscribers in advance.
