This is something all of you need to think about. What is this really about? In my opinion it's about taking control of our own money.
Banks are thieves and taxation IS theft
Do you trust banks? I don't. Have you all ready forgotten what happened in Cyprus in 2013? That's right. The Government just stole 33% of peoples money over 100,000 Euro. So if you were a sensible person, who had saved up money and let's be honest - 100,000 Euro isn't THAT much - 33% of that just gone. Banks and government just stole it to cover expenses of their fraudulent ways.
Isn't that the real reason we're into cryptos? All this talk about Lambos and Mooning..well, I think you all should calm down and think bigger. This is perhaps our ONLY chance to break free from the chains. We're always talking about how you shouldn't keep Bitcoin or Eth or any currency on the exchange - because then YOU ultimately don't control it. It's the exact same thing with banks. Keep your money in the bank, and you don't ultimately own it. The banks can freeze your account or even just take your money.
That's the reality of the world. I'm sorry. I know a lot of you thought that the world was run by adults. Sensible grown up, who knew what they were doing. But as you age yourself, you realize that that's not the case. The world is run by bullies, idiots and fraudsters - disguised as our childish idea of trust and knowledge, with their suits and fancy words.
So, when you sell your Bitcoin, Ethereum, Viacoin, Litecoin, Doge or whatever for Fiat currency, you are basically just selling some of your freedom for a shot of short term profit as a slave. And no, we don't want regulation or taxation. That's just the Stockholm syndrome talking. It's you hanging on for dear life to your oppressor, because that's what feels safe. It's just you talking automatically without thinking straight. It's just words put in your mouth.
What hodling really is about
The interesting thing about this, is that this is about ideals and values. This is the first time in history where your investments is about taking sides. Freedom vs slavery. #HODL is more than just waiting for large profits. Hodling means freedom. Hodling means to never sell. It doesn't mean hodl 1000% and then trade for Fiat. It means, hodl 1000% and trade for another crypto currency. It means your money invested in cryptos/freedom will never leave your control.
The more money we put into Cryptos, the more freedom and control we gain. And we need the momentum. We, who were early need to stay true and show our dedication. Not start buying Ripple and losing faith just because the markets go down a little bit. It's not even about that on a bigger scale. It's just about hodling, and spreading the word. Help as many people as possible understand what this is.
This is actually the first time in history when we, the people, are educated and knowledgable enough, and have the tools needed, to break free from the tyranny of politicians and banks.I don't care if you identify as something as ridiculous as a "anarcho-communist"(a oxymoron) or an anarcho-capitalist
if we could all agree that banks/government = violence, and that we want freedom, which is the absence of violence - I couldn't care less what kind of society you want to organize - as long as participating is voluntary.
And to all you non-idealists who think it's impossible to break free..well, it's because of people like you it is going to be hard. It's what most people do that will make a change. We wouldn't even need a war this time. Just quietly ignoring the oppressors.
2018 will be the year we go over 1 trillion total mcap. It will be the year we will just sit still and watch the evil scumbags of the world, who has oppressed us for a thousand years try to claw their way out of the bathtub (thanks again for the analogy
