"Nodes and Noise: A Bitcoiner’s Take on the Dichotomy of Control"

In the world of Bitcoin, the dichotomy of control is more than Stoic wisdom — it’s protocol.

I can’t control the price, the FUD from media, or whether governments try to ban it. I can’t force others to understand sound money or care about inflation. That’s noise.

But here’s what I can control:

– I can run my own node.

– I can hold my own keys.

– I can stack sats with discipline.

– I can choose to opt out of a broken system and into one based on rules, not rulers.

Like Stoicism, Bitcoin demands self-responsibility. You either trust the system or verify it yourself. The rest? Out of your hands — and not worth your energy.

In a chaotic world, freedom starts with knowing what you can control — and refusing to be shaken by what you can’t.
