Bitcoin can give many freedoms. And … the highest freedoms, Bitcoin cannot give you. No asset or technology can. You can have all the self-custódiese Bitcoin, but …
If your mind continually from past events, to future plans, and you are unable to have it stay anchored in the present, then you are not free
If you get triggered and your emotions are decided by the words of others, then you are not free
If you get irate and frustrated whenever someone criticises bitcoin then you are not free
If you have many unrealised desires and ambitions that you believe you need to be fulfilled before you can be content, then you are not free.
If your mind gets unsettled when events do not go the way you want without delays or imperfections etc, then you are not free
If while maintaining money, you fear losing it in the future, then you are not free
If you feel fear when you lose some money or resources from your life, then you are not free
If after realising one financial goal you feel compelled to quickly set a bigger one, then you are not free.
There you say it. Plain and clear 🙏
We need to understand and then embody what's at the core of freedom. This is to be unveiled from within ourselves.
Albeit an important one, Bitcoin is just an external puzzle piece in that grand picture.
