I think that the moment when you truly become a bitcoiner, is the moment when you realize that bitcoin will eventually make all other financial assets, including currencies, effectively obsolete outside of their utility value.

I've noticed that, especially recently, a lot of bitcoiners like to talk about how bitcoin "fits" into the current system. I think this is an intuitive way to try to orange- pill people because it's too jarring (and therefore not effective) to say, "everything else is going to zero."

Maybe some bitcoiners have even convinced themselves that bitcoin will be just another asset class alongside stocks, bonds, and real estate. But deep down, if you have taken the orange pill, you know that bitcoin is going to eat them all.

It's hard when you can't share this monumental discovery, even with those closest to you, because to everyone on the outside, this perspective seems completely insane. I'm not sure watering it down is helpful either though.

Probably the best way to handle it is to just keep taking our lumps from everyone around us, watch as bitcoin just keeps winning, and wait for the rest of the world to catch up.
