 I'm pretty sure it's the head fuck of holding & accumulating something that's absolutely scarce while still trying to maintain a mindset of abundance.

It requires knowledge, wisdom & faith to hold such diametrically opposing beliefs. I have enough Bitcoin for my future, but right now it feels like I don't have enough.

There's also the universal law of self destruction at play, which is a risk all Bitcoiners face. It says that any human construct that achieves absolute success will self destruct as it no longer has a challenge to face.

When Bitcoin hits $1M USD, many of us will have financial optionality that is hard to even fathom right now. It's important for us to ensure that this optionality isn't our end goal or we will self sabotage our position. You have to have a reason or challenge to face once Bitcoin "moons". Why are you actually accumulating this stuff?
