As a Brazilian, I thank God for Bitcoin.

Our currency has been gradually devaluing over the years, but lately this process has accelerated.

That's how much it lost value in the last 5 years.

Without getting into political discussions, but when the current president who was released from jail after problems like this was re-elected by 1% more votes, I knew it wouldn't be a bad idea to put a much higher percentage of my money in Bitcoin. The only thing I regret is not buying more.

In the space of a year and a few months that he became president again, the Brazilian Real lost 10% of its value, not to mention other costs that have increased considerably, such as taxes.

There is a phrase that says that you only start to understand Bitcoin when you need it. I can't say it's a lie, because I already understood Bitcoin before, but today I understand it more.

I no longer think about Bitcoin on the moon, or seeing its value rise and fall daily. I think about getting my money out of my local currency.

Edit: I wrote "Thank you God" not because I believe that Bitcoin was a gift from God or anything like that, it's just because in Brazil it's very common to say "Thanks God" for things that have no context with God, It's just spontaneous, even if the person is not religious.

Edit 2: Guys, I really appreciate the feedback and I enjoyed sharing this experience, but I will delete the post by midnight. The comments ended up turning into a giant political discussion and that wasn't exactly the intention. The intention was to explain why I decided to buy more BTC than normal, which, by conscience, is a political reason.
