The Bitcoin Mindset Newsletter is interested in low-time preference thinking and how FreedomTech (Bitcoin, Nostr, encryption, the internet etc) can help build a better and freer future. Like Bitcoin, this newsletter is politically non-partisan; Bitcoin is for everyone! The content we share (including videos, memes, books & social media accounts) does not necessarily reflect the views of this newsletter.
We don’t cover financial advice, shitcoinery, trading tips, or get-rich-quick schemes. Whilst fiat mindsets chase pumps, Bitcoiners are building a better world for future generations. Everything here is for informational purposes only and should never be mistaken for financial, investment, or legal advice.
Being self-sovereign comes with responsibility. Don’t trust—verify. Do your own research and think for yourself. After reading this newsletter, don’t buy Bitcoin—study it.
