Is Eckhart Tolle a Bitcoiner?

“If uncertainty is unacceptable to you, it turns into fear. If it is perfectly acceptable, it turns into increased aliveness, alertness, and creativity.”

- Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth

Everybody is a bitcoiner. Some just don’t know it yet.

EGnPope 8mo ago

Bam!

Jonny Gill 8mo ago

Love it.

If he’s awake, he has the direct experience of not existing. So no. There’s no such thing as a bitcoiner. That said, morals are as obvious as a slap in the face when you wake up, so yes he is a bitcoiner whether he knows it or not.

Jonny Gill 8mo ago

You’re right, there’s no such thing as a Bitcoiner per se, but people who understand Bitcoin are generally more aware/awake and can take increased risks in life and embrace the uncertainty of those risks.

Callum 8mo ago

He's obviously not a Bitcoiner because it hadn't been created when he was alive.

Also, there is a lot of certainty in Bitcoin so your trying to link this quote back to Bitcoin is really stretching things (way beyond breaking point in my opinion).

Ricemoon 8mo ago

Did I somehow misread your note? Eckhart Tolle is still alive. But you're right, the mentioned book is from 2005, so before Bitcoin.

Jonny Gill 8mo ago

Yes, I know this was written before Bitcoin was created. My point was that this sounds like something a Bitcoiner would say (Saylor?) Of course, this can likely be interpreted in many different ways, but to me, this really means that people who own Bitcoin and live on a Bitcoin Standard can take increased risks (leaving a job, starting a business, starting a family - all of which increase uncertainty) because they have the security of digital scarcity.

This has strong meaning

Patrick 8mo ago

Oh yes! He knows that hodling is much more pleasant when you lengthen your time preference

Great quote, thanks for sharing.
