The man in the coma has an exponential advantage over those playing day-to-day 3D chess when it comes to bitcoin.

Too many people overthink many aspects of bitcoin and convince themselves into a frenetic state.

The man in the coma is calmer and will ultimately perform better.

Your goal should be to approach bitcoin like the man in the coma without becoming comatose.

Marty Bent: notoriously comatose investor.

Thank God for Mt. Gox.

be this guy:

How to get rich with Bitcoin.

Buy a thousand dollars on bitcoin a decade ago.

Spend a decade in a coma.

Wake up a millionaire

This will still be true in 2035.

Prayers for Ben Askren 🙏 currently unresponsive from severe sudden pneumonia.

Someone else is probably paying the man in the coma’s bills, can I have that too?

Patience is the game

The man in the coma isn't running a node and therefore isnt participating in the emergent network understanding of what bitcoin is. That is not a state to aspire to.

lol the "man in the coma" meme exist because it highlights that you can download a node, fall into a coma, wake up, and still be a consensus-compatible participating member of the bitcoin network.

Yeah, it's the recovery scenario that the jannies of the code are *supposed* to be aspiring to. It's neither a guarantee nor an investment metaphor. If everyone just bought and assumed bitcoin could never change for the worse, it actually increases the risk that bitcoin *can* change for the worse.

Man in the coma is not for me. It limits my abilities to stack more sats.

I like how these kinda creative posts pop up when the price of #bitcoin is up. When it’s down, everyone posts #doomsday shit.

The man in the coma can't buy more. Ops, me neither, run out of fiat money. Already all in.

My salary is way higher than someone in a coma. Check again, I'll be stacking harder.
