Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was perhaps the best-known German philosopher of the 19th century. It may seem surprising at first glance, but reading further we will see that Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy is very close to what the Bitcoin revolution has been forced to face since its inception. Here are five famous quotes from Friedrich Nietzsche related to Bitcoin and its unique monetary revolution. “What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.” Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin in 2008 and officially launched the Bitcoin network on January 3, 2009. Since then, Bitcoin and above all its ecosystem has survived many difficulties, threats and attacks. Some thought Bitcoin would go down the drain because of them. However, Bitcoin has proven that it is not so fragile and has come back stronger each time. This reminds me of Friedrich Nietzsche’s quote that building in adversity makes us stronger. So everything that didn’t kill Bitcoin since its inception only made it stronger. So much so that today Bitcoin is becoming mandatory for global financial giants such as BlackRock and Fidelity, which want to launch their own Bitcoin ETF. “Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions to disappear.” This quote from Friedrich Nietzsche is also so apt because of how many people in the world refuse to understand Bitcoin. These people oppose Bitcoin without studying its essence. And there is an obvious reason for this: Bitcoin is unlike anything we know and challenges everything we are taught by the education system. That’s why it’s so hard for the public to wake up and understand the idea of Bitcoin. No one wants to admit that with Bitcoin all illusions are shattered. The illusion that the current monetary and financial system can help you live a full life. However, this is impossible. But in order to realize this, you have to go beyond the broken illusions to discover the uncomfortable truth that will allow you to understand the liberating power of the Bitcoin revolution. “Truth tends to show its greatest wisdom in the guise of simplicity.” When talking about Bitcoin, let’s keep the concepts simple and get back to the why and the goals of this unique monetary revolution. Bitcoin is about giving you back the power over your money, freeing you from useless intermediaries like banks and other financial parasites. “A free man is a warrior.” Bitcoin helps you become free. Bitcoin is synonymous with freedom. If you’ve been following the world of Bitcoin for long enough, you’re probably a libertarian warrior. Someone who defends his opinions and beliefs against all retorts in order to remain a free man. “No power can sustain itself if it is represented only by hypocrites.” This last Nietzsche quote gives hope for the future of the Bitcoin revolution. When talking about the hypocrites within the prevailing monetary and financial system, many people have a very long list in mind. From governments to central bankers, from economists to the media, I think we all know our favorite hypocrites who want to protect this flawed and rotten system at all costs. Fortunately, the truth always comes out in the end. Bitcoin is uniquely responsive to the flaws of the current system, and the hypocrisy of the current system will eventually cause the system to fail.
