If stacking & hodling Bitcoin were easy & quickly gratifying, we wouldn't be growing & learning like we are. If you can't appreciate Bitcoin at 58k you won't appreciate it at 580k.

As frustrating as it's been to buy & hold this stuff, I can now see how much it's changed me. The irony is that Bitcoin has made me less materialistic. It's the complete opposite of what motivated me to buy it in the first place 

It fills me with joy to see these similar changes occuring within others.

Trust the process & the incentives man. The Bitcoin path leads to abundance, just not in the specific way we think. 🧡 

 Thanks Brisket. 

I try not to get too caught up in the short-term Bitcoin fiat price hype but I'd be lying if I said it doesn't impact me at all. 

You are right about the wider benefits though. Bitcoin and Nostr has increased my access to people who are (as far as I can tell) more optimistic and well-informed than most of the people I know.

In other news: today at the bank the guy next to me was wearing of those Satoshi/Nirvana t-shirts. I thought about speaking to him, but my op sec defences kicked in and I kept my mouth shut.
 

 I'm also very ready for some price discovery.

The 4th quarter should be very exciting for those that held through the bear.
