 Stoicism is the most fascinating philosophy I've encountered in my life. It is brutally practical and it's based on agency, sovereignity, focus and self-control. It is not fancy. It doesn't promise you salvation. It requires consistent training and hard work.

Stoicism is the ultimate philosophy of "staying humble". The world is not in your control, only how you react to it is.

No wonder that so many Bitcoiners subscribe to it as their primary philosophy of life. Because that is what it's supposed to be: a guide through the moral labyrinth of life.
