 There are only two bitcoin journeys. 

1. Bitcoin destroys you and you rise like a phoenix 🐦‍🔥 from the ashes. 

2. Bitcoin destroys you and you never recover. 

Which one you choose is entirely up to you. 
 Feds couldn't put me down

1. Baby🚀 
 Or you stay humble and stack sats. 
 It’s just sad listening to TINA these days 
 What is he saying ? 
 Okay but, even the Psychopaths will adapt to using Bitcoin, imagine the Psychopath born 10 years from now, are they still-born?

Bitcoin is the Magic Wrapping Paper, it doesn't destroy anything, it allows things to be wrapped differently before they are exchanged, forever.

Similar but fundamentally different from what you were saying. 
 Agreed. And seems like this Phoenix arises as a Carnivore nerd, reading Austrian Economics who wants to live in a citadel with access to the city services. 

Now starts to make more sense.  
 I was born from the ashes and have only HODLed upwards with some minor dips.  Bitcoin has been the wind beneath my wings.

 Is that still the case tho? Uncertainty has never been lower so hodling has never been easier imo. Many will shitcoin and capitulate, but some will just stack and stay focused on the goal 
 I think it’s still the case yeah. It’s easier than ever before but that doesn’t mean it’s become easy. It just went from really really really hard. Near impossible hard to regular hard lol 
 Idk I think a third option is becoming possible especially post ETF 
 The "Magic Wrapping Paper" is evident, you cannot re-wrap the Magic.

That's a whole mother fucking level of understanding, the you mo fuckers r just missing.

Choose Bitcoin, The "Magic Wrapping Paper" or  Mr Ben Dover will continue with his Politician's green lighted Fuckery. 
 hodling only gets harder I think as the costs of mistakes get exponentially higher. 

a few cycles ago one sends funds to the wrong address (user error, scam/shitcoining, lost keys, etc) one could fix that mistake relatively easy in terms of cost of energy/time.

Make the same mistake a few cycles out and one is never going to be able to be made "whole".

the "goal" may seem straightforward but evidently there's many paths to veer someone off course.

I don't think hodling is easy at all, it just appears that way
 
 It has to humble all of us in one way or another, or else you simply don’t understand it. 
 This is real.
Team 1 let's go! 💪 
 Why do I have to get destroyed?  I don’t see my destruction on the horizon. 
 I look at who I was 5 years ago (before Bitcoin) and who I am today.  I'm so far removed from that person even my parents have a hard time recognizing me as the son they knew.

I was already on a hero's journey, Bitcoin just gave me the faith to push harder and do more.  It did destroy the old me. 
 I did get a liitle burned by shitcoins at first, fortunately that didn't last long. Bitcoin was my saviour 👍
