“If Everything Is Free…” Free healthcare. Free housing. Free transport. Free education. Free everything. It sounds good, right? A world where no one worries about bills. Where every need is covered. Where life feels fair. But if everything is free… who pays? When you visit a doctor, who pays the doctor’s salary? Who pays for the medicine, the machines, the electricity that keeps the hospital alive at night? When housing is free, who builds the walls? Who pays the builders, the cement, the steel, the windows, the doors, everything that makes a house a home? When transport is free, who drives the bus? Who fuels it? Who fixes the roads, the engines, the rails? When education is free, who pays the teacher? Who buys the books, the computers, the roofs that shelter young minds as they learn? If the answer is “the government,” then where does the government get its money? If the answer is “from the billionaires,” what happens when the billionaires leave? If everything is free… who’s paying the price? And if you have everything for free, why would you care to save? If no one saves, who builds the future? When there’s no need to earn, to build, to create, what happens to meaning, responsibility, and freedom itself? Because if you depend on others for everything… are you really free at all?

The world we live in forces you to invest in order to save. In other words, this broken system requires you to put your money back into itself. Saving should be as simple as working hard, spending less than you earn, and storing your money safely for the future.

Living on Bitcoin is living without being pulled left or right. Living on Bitcoin is a life with rules, but without rulers.

I Quit the Euro. Here’s How I Live 100% on Bitcoin. https://bringin.xyz/?utm_source=stackernews&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=pb_nuno_bringin&utm_content=quit At the beginning of this year, I made a decision. To move away from inflation. To move away from politicians. To move away from chaos and uncertainty. I decided to quit the euro — and start saving my time and energy in a form of money that’s immune to it all. I went all in on Bitcoin. People often ask: “But Nuno, how do you pay for stuff? Food, rent, bills?” Simple. Whenever I find a merchant that accepts Bitcoin, I pay with a Lightning wallet. For everything else — where Bitcoin isn’t accepted yet — I use Bringin, the complete Bitcoin app. I convert the amount I need into euros (via Lightning or SEPA) and spend it anywhere Visa is accepted, using my Bringin physical or virtual card. The best part: I can connect my own Lightning node to Bringin. That gives my node superpowers — I can pay directly from my node, or instantly convert sats to euros using Lightning, and spend them anywhere. Doesn’t matter if the merchant accepts Bitcoin or not. With Bringin, my node can pay anyone, anywhere. https://stacker.news/items/1260987
