Instead of tearing down the past, Campari chose to preserve its historic building and built the new headquarters around it. A rare gesture of respect and timeless class.
True elegance is knowing where you come from. Cheers 🍷
I grew up with the idea that politics should not be discussed. As if having a political opinion was like supporting a football team, something that automatically made you the enemy of someone else. As if it were something dirty. A bit like money.
But the truth is that you can’t live your life without doing politics. Not talking about politics is politics. It’s accepting the status quo. And what’s so wrong about saying what you want for yourself? About saying who you wish could lead your country? We ended up where we are also because they turned into taboos everything that actually gives people real power: money, politics, freedom.
Today 25 April in Italy we celebrate the liberation from fascism. And I keep wondering how it was possible that so many people stayed silent during those years. Were they afraid? Were they convinced it wasn’t their problem? And would we really act differently if faced with the same injustices?
I wonder if we would have the strength to speak up when something becomes too big, too dangerous to denounce. Maybe we already are. Because groups like ours are already a form of resistance. Against something that has already become too big, too oppressive, too exclusive: the financial system.
Our grandparents fought against physical violence. We are fighting against economic violence. And it can be just as brutal. Because if we don’t have the freedom to earn, keep, and spend money without permission, we are not free.
Bitcoin is our way of resisting. And this community is our way of keeping the spirit of freedom alive. Every generation must find its own way to defend it.
Happy Liberation Day, Bitcoin Bitches.
There’s something that’s been bothering me for a while.
To some 'Bitcoiners', I’m not 'Bitcoin' enough as if that’s even a real thing. Like being called progressive or feminist is supposed to be an insult. LOL.
And then every time I go back in my hometown, like last night, I get called a conspiracy theorist. Even for talking about the most basic bitcoin stuff (like the fact that dollars is not pegged by gold) 😭 and this happens a looot even on my social media
The truth is that nothing messes with your head like realizing that EVERYTHING you’ve been told about one of the most fundamental things (money) was wrong… and THEN suddenly finding yourself surrounded by people who also question the moon landing and whether sunscreen is even useful 🥲
But let me tell you something.
And I’m saying this to myself too. It’s fine. It’s all fine.
People are always trying to put you in a box. You’re either woke or delusional, feminist or comunist, sheep or lunatic. The financial system is a huge scam yes, but I don't question literally everything else. I drink wine and eat carbs on a daily basic and fuck yeah. The truth is, I live in the middle. And I’m OK with that. I absolutely love my life the way it i.
Being in the middle is what makes me human. It’s what allows me to see nuance. It’s what makes life richer, messier, and full of meaning. Also, I'm surrounded be so many and SO DIFFERENT people, I could never close myself up in my own world or diet.
I don't know in which point you are in this bitcoin journey but don’t be afraid to stand in between. Between two fires, two colors, two truths. Because that’s exactly where things start to make sense.
