Oddbean new post about login | logout What about people living in “developing nations” and living under dictatorships? Is it just a mindset? I suppose even then you could choose be grateful for what you have even when it’s so little and can be taken away at any time.
Hodl is ridiculous sometimes. It's just like his assertion that all you need to do to fix your depression is go to the gym. People commit suicide because of depression but they could have saved themselves if they'd gone to the gym. He has also insisted that bitcoin will hit $1 million this bull run but his prediction for the last bull run was $300k. We havent even hit $75k yet. I like Hodl he means well but he isn't to be taken seriously.
That makes sense.
You can fix depression without drugs. True. I’m not sure why that triggers you so much.
I’m only directing this at privileged westerners, but that said people make their way to areas of the world with more opportunities and freedom all the time and make something of themselves. Where there’s a will there’s a way.
True, there are many who’ve escaped totalitarian regimes so there is a chance if an effort is made but no one said it’d be easy. Whereas I wholeheartedly agree when this thought is leveled at westerners especially living under the dollar. I’m grateful bitcoin is allowing people born under totalitarian regimes or in abject poverty to “bloom where they’re planted” so to speak. Anywho, I still think you’re a bit of a cock but I like you anyway 😉
