Oddbean new post about login | logout TBH I get a deep sense of nihilism when the price goes up this fast. It’s mostly having the face ripped off of how superficial and fleeting our generalize pricing mechanisms are, and how hypnotized we all are within this system of ‘value’. Bitcoin has always been worth this much (and much more!), we are just waiting for the rest of the world to see it too. It almost like I feel ashamed of knowing that I’ve been right all along and haven’t thrown down even hard, and been even more insistent about what we are doing.
We were chronic losers for so long, especially being ancaps. We're used to constantly losing, especially vs the state. So now we're winning. Not just by a little, but by the biggest fucking margin ever. How the fuck do we process that level of being right in such a short period of time? I absolutely understand what you're saying about wishing you did more, but you did enough. I am sure that when you spoke to a friend or family member 10+ years ago, you had just as much fire and conviction in your heart then as you do now. If they didn't see that, or they were too scared to take a risk, then that's on them. Not you. 🤙
There's no joy in watching ppl clamoring to board lifeboats after they've ignored all the signs the ship has been compromised.
