We explore the concept of sovereignty in Bitcoin, emphasizing that true sovereignty comes from building strong networks and communities rather than isolation. We discuss the challenges of Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador, noting that despite being legal tender, many locals are still hesitant to use it due to volatility and distrust in government initiatives. We highlight the importance of understanding and addressing concerns from Bitcoin skeptics to develop better strategies for wider adoption and education. We touch on the psychological aspects of price checking and the need to balance short-term excitement with long-term wealth building through disciplined saving and investing in Bitcoin.
