Bitcoin is unstoppable.
Bitcoiners are mortal though. We all gotta eat.
Some tough lessons were learned last epoch.
I suspect a completely new set of lessons coming this epoch. These lessons should be a little more exciting though.
SuPeRcycLe!
You can't seperate Bitcoin from Nostr & that is ok. They go together like steak & eggs.
I've personally met someone IRL who found Bitcoin through permissionless social media.
It must be a silly nation.
Don't they know about the 40% drawdown that's coming?

So daddy issues are fuelling your hate for the OPs?
Let them HFSP man.
Epoch 4 is over.
The funniest shit about Bitcoin is that few people actually know how many sats anybody else has. People say all sorts of retarded shit about Bitcoin & none of it matters. At the end of the day only you are responsible for your stack & the optionality it buys you.
FAFO

Don't let fear or greed be the driver of your action.
If you have some Bitcoin, you have enough. This doesn't mean you shouldn't keep working & saving, it just means you shouldn't risk what you have already saved (in Bitcoin).
The younger you are, the less sats you need. Don't think you need to take risks to catch up.
Zoom out, stay humble & let love be the driver of your action. See you in Galt's Gulch when you're ready, I'll cook you up a feed ♥️💚
It's a catch 22.
At times like this you've got their ear because you were clearly right. The problem is that they think it's going to retrace back to $58k or whatever.
Tell them that this is the last chance that they can buy under $100k.
Tell them that it's ok if they don't buy, but that in 4 years time I'll be telling you this is the last chance to buy under $1M.
Bitcoin is for a developing world.
Humanity is forking.
Even if half the Bitcoin is captured by dark forces, they will never be able to enter this new world.
I can think of no other group of people that should have an increase in their optionality during these times.
Things are going to get pretty crazy - it is the end of the fourth turning still.
Insurance companies are no different to casinos. The house always wins unless you cheat or get lucky & walk away.
Anticipating & then speculating on the future is a part of what makes us human.
I some the equity in my house & about $5k in fiat.
Retirement fund & personal savings is all in this stuff.
No regrets, no fear & only excitement for the future.
I wasn't wanting to go into the mechanism behind why food affects your thoughts & feelings.
I was more interested in hearing whether a vegan had noticed the changes.
I figured a Bitcoiner would be more likely to be honest with themselves.
Rarely. Usually only away from my local area & in the company of Bitcoiners.
Initially it was because the shirts weren't cheap & I wanted to keep them looking nice. Now it's more because I don't want local people to figure out why I'm not slaving away at a job all day.
It's 1 of the 4 agreements (a highly underrated book for living a fulfilling life) - "Take nothing personally".
The conundrum is that your feelings, thoughts & actions are secondary products of your constructed beliefs. You can't shift any of it by pure will alone, you first have to shift your beliefs. It takes little will, effort or even evidence to adopt a new belief.
My belief that allows me to take nothing personally is that their reaction is more about them than me.
Work on incorporating beliefs that better serve you & uncover those beliefs that are causing undesirable thoughts, actions or feelings.
Every action I've ever taken was because I believed that I would be better off for having taken that action.
I wish I'd realised that & extended my time horizon sooner in life.
