> It has happened oft ere now,
That foeman's weapon has laid low
The crowned head, where battle plain,
Was miry red with the blood-rain.
But Domald dies by bloody arms,
Raised not by foes in war's alarms ―
Raised by his Swedish liegemen's hand,
To bring good seasons to the land.
― Thjódólf of Hvinir
In olden days, people paid indulgence to escape purgatory. Now, we pays taxes to avoid prison. But you are the first in a line of generations who will live on a Bitcoin standard. And thus, you will not [blót](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bl%C3%B3t) (blood sacrifice) to either God or the state, but rather to the community.
Most people you know have not yet grasped this. You can say they still live in Flatland, a two-dimensional world, struggling to comprehend objects that can exist in a three-dimensional reality. When they encounter a ball penetrating their universe, they only see a point stretching out and contracting again. They continue to live in a fiat standard and lack the ability to understand a world based on a Bitcoin standard.
They don't see that the days of the state are numbered. Their elected representatives are more concerned with enriching themselves, whether at the [cost of the community](https://www.thelocal.no/20220302/norwegian-minister-resigns-over-commuter-housing-scandal), [others' property](https://www.politico.eu/article/sunglasses-norway-bjornar-moxnes-red-party-resign/), or [war profiteers](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-21/norway-junior-minister-quits-after-buying-defense-firm-s-stock#xj4y7vzkg). Journalist Julian Assange said in 2011: *"The goal is an endless war, not a successful war,"* and that the state's plan is to siphon money out of taxpayers. Unfortunately, Julian is now on the altar, to be blót for the state's goal of preventing freedom.
But you will not be bound by the state's restrictions. Bitcoin is democracy.
Stay humble, stack sats.

*According to Heimskringla, King Domalde was blót to prevent famine.*
