January 5th:

CLARIFY YOUR INTENTIONS

"Let all your efforts be directed to something, let it keep that end in view. It’s not activity that disturbs people, but false conceptions of things that drive them mad.”

—SENECA, ON TRANQUILITY OF MIND, 12.5

Bitcoin-Centered Interpretation: The Purpose of Proof-of-Work

It is not the activity of the market that drives people mad, but the false conception that its purpose is to make them rich overnight. The purpose of Bitcoin is not frenetic, speculative activity; it is the slow, deliberate, and costly securing of a global ledger through Proof-of-Work. Let this be your end in view: to align your efforts with this principle of meaningful work. Your intention is not to gamble, but to save. Your goal is not to get something for nothing, but to participate in a system where every block is earned. This clarity of purpose is the antidote to the madness of the market.
