I just watched HodlHang9 https://youtu.be/lMZ2JOHjslY?si=4uXUgoWKHxyHTkFV and it's so amazing that I have to give it my highest recommendation and express my heartfelt gratitude. It's like being in a room with the brightest minds in Bitcoin, yet it feels as intimate and friendly as a chat with close friends. Two moments in this episode really struck a chord with me: 1. @breedlove22 Insightful Moment (48:10): When Robert delves into the 'false dichotomy of left and right' and our power to redefine meanings, it's not just insightful – it's transformative. The conversation elevates to an entirely new level of depth and understanding. 2. @erikcason Poetic Freeze (2 hr 10mins 56secs) Erik ends his beautiful channeled rant from a higher dimension, it’s like a Bitcoin poem that ends with "ONLY YOU CAN DO IT," And then his Zoom freezes. It's as if the universe itself is highlighting the importance of his words. It's a magical and memorable moment. Please check it out, it genuinely feels special. A huge shoutout to all four HodlHangers: Robert, Erik, @johnkvallis and AmericanHODL. Your discussions are enlightening, helping me learn more about #Bitcoin and, importantly, more about myself. Thank You Below is a transcription of Erik’s Bitcoin Poem! “…..Some things that I see is like this totally new paradigm like what I do see it having corollaries to it is…….. …….an individual having a true transcendental experience that converts them. Because after that conversion, there's a radical new perspective of the world that allows for it to be totally different! Yet somehow the same. And it's interesting because there's a passage from Walter Benjamin where he talks about what the world looks like after the eschaton. He says, everything is exactly the same but slightly different; and that's one of the things about Bitcoin………. It’s that, all of the same things that seemed so maniacal and hateful and destroying of humanity, there's now this strange little inversion that can happen where, just like how bitcoin is a trap door out of the bottom of hell. It Changes that perspective! And it allows for an ability for us to actually rescue ourselves from the circumstances. And to me…….. like this is the most important part…… It’s that like, very similar to the religious conversion…….. ONLY YOU CAN DO IT!”
