I’m glad nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs gave that keynote to bt. It’s the first time I’ve ever heard an influencer admit how hard it is to succeed in bitcoin. The orange pillers constantly parrot that it is easy to hold, but that’s just bc they are noobs and don’t have material bags. I’ve had a lot of success in my life (school, career, sports, etc.) and a lot of challenges, and being successful in bitcoin was by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done. So when normies and ops act like earlier Bitcoiners got lucky, I roll my eyes. They are delusional. It is a lonely path where everyone is betting against you and you have to be like nope, everyone is wrong, and I’m right. Conviction is everything. They’re laughing now, but I will get the last laugh. Now that this mainstream and we were right, it’s only natural to have an immense sense of self confidence that we can tackle anything in front of us. The pre etf era was the Wild West, there was no blueprint. The spoils go to the victors. If anyone tells you you were lucky, that is a big red flag. They are jealous and envious. The crazy part is people like hodl and I were altruistic in our journeys and all that amounted to was bitter and resentful relationships, but ultimately it was a small price to pay to be right. Cutting out these toxic relationships is a small price to pay to escape the matrix and have ultimate freedom. They can hfsp. This is about individualism, the orange pillers with their socialist utopian ideals never understood bitcoin in the first place. It is a game of accumulation of sats, not followers and likes. That is the fiat game. That is ending quickly.
