Watch and learn another masterful propaganda example. Notice the "Not yet" phrase placed in front of the title. Something most people wouldn't even notice. It implies that a) Amazon said it and b) they will accept bitcoin in the future.
You must understand something, they don't care about your "empowerment", "financial freedom" or whatever. They don't give a damn about you or the people of El Salvador and couldn't care less if you died tomorrow.
All they care is money and power. So while panicked kids sold their Crypto the previous weeks, they bought. They bought Bitcoin at 30.000 and sold it at 40.000.
And those who dare to talk and ask difficult questions, are accused of FUD But fear uncertainty and doubt keeps you alive and worked for thousands of years. You should be proud of your critical thinking, not ashamed.
It's easy following the mob and have the "to the moon" mentality. But it's difficult to digg, read and research and educate yourself. You should stop and think whose opinion has more value, someone with 2 Nobel prize awards or the 18 year old telling him you know nothing. Someone who has 40 years experience in economics or a nobody living with his mother who watched 5 YouTube videos.
Of course nobody is perfect and even the smartest people make mistakes. But you make sure that you will not become a fantastic, trapped in one side. Always think and analyze and try improving your self taking the difficult path, reading a 50 page research instead of a 500 blog post. Following the best representatives on both sides and not paying attention to the noise.
Because if all you care is the number of followers or getting as many Likes as possible in order to satisfy your vanity, you are in the wrong path.
Knowledge is not free and Crypto of course is not free. You pay for it with your most valuable possession, TIME.
Time that you will never get back. So even those free Airdrops, NFTs or whatever they offer are not actually free. There is a reason they call the internet "the attention economy". So if you value your limited time on this planet, make sure you spend your time on valuable people and resources. Everything else is bullshit, useless noise.
Never follow, the mob and be proud of your individuailty. And remember, all intelligent animals live alone or in small groups. All the rest in huge groups
