Learned helplessness: why you love your abusive fiat captors

and letting the monkey out of the cage.

Once you are out in the free bitcoin world there will be no-one to feed you ... but look around, the fruit is there for the collection.

I built a cage inside my cage so I can be helpless while I'm being helpless. As you can see, being helpless is the source of my happiness! I purposely wired myself this way because...

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Oh, ho, ho

Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
The wind

Thanks for sharing, although technically this doesn't belong in Bitcoin Discussion until you put your spin on it. I couldn't help but sense irony (thanks to your spin) when the guy keeps talking about getting dollars.

Governments have mastered this "Learned Helplessness" in the form of social grants and free medical aid and services like that. You dumb down the population and you make them depended on the

services you offer with someone else's money. {Tax payers money} The banks also did this and they making you pay huge fees for that service. They effectively saying... We will manage your

financial security for a fee. Bitcoin has been developed to break those chains, but people are like the monkeys who has been in captivity for too long... They cannot manage to do these things on their

own anymore... They believe the governments and the banks are doing it for their best interest.. and they are soooo wrong.

Wow OP, some serious daddy issues you got there.

People become used to what are they accustomed to do, so if they are used to fiat it's hard to break this habit and the thought of using a totally different money is not appealing to the average joe. What will make Bitcoin be used worldwide is when the governments remove physical cash. People will be used to the privacy of physical cash, and once this gets removed, it will leave a gap that only Bitcoin can fit in the next digital government controlled money nightmare we are going towards.

... the response only a truly captivated and perverted mind could muster. Pity for you, one day you may break free from your mind-chains.
