I really enjoyed the vlog. I listened to it twice. Hits a little harder the second time. Thanks

It's so true.
I've not indulged many desires since discovering Bitcoin. The ones I have indulged in have cost me far too many sats for the fleeting joy they offered.
The funny thing I've noticed is that the desires that take root tend to manifest in ways I didn't initially anticipate. They just sort of manifest indirectly, almost coincidentally.
Opportunities arise that are in alignment with those deep desires & I recognise them as such. I can take action on the opportunity quickly & not let it slip away. At other times the cost still feels too great still & I have to exercise patience by letting the opportunity go by.
Having the capacity to act & not acting, is an interesting circumstance in itself.
Life is short.
What I love about Bitcoin is the optionality that it affords after so many years of āI mustā.
Acting is a teacher, not acting is a teacher.
So breathe deeply, and stack mindfully.
This is well said. I find the same things. Because I am reluctant to spend the bitcoin I am careful with what I buy. Also some of the things I have bought with bitcoin I've really valued.
The worst is purging the crap that you bought pre Bitcoin & doing mental math about how many sats it would have been.
At the time you know you wanted it enough to buy it, but now it's just taking up storage space & cluttering your life.
I realise now that I was trying to fill a hole in my soul caused by working for fiat.
I THINK THE METAPHOR OF WEEDS AND THEN NOT HAVING DEEP ROOTS IS NOT 100% ACCURATE AS MANY PLANTS WE CLASSIFY AS A WEED ARE SIMPLY PLANTS THAT SOMEONE ELSE WITH A LOW TIME PREFERENCE ONCE UNILATERALLY DECIDED TO ATTEMPT TO ERADICATE AND IT BECAME A HABIT THAT STUCK IN OUR āMINDS.ā WHAT EVER THOSE AREā¦.
ANYWAY I VIEW MANY WEEDS AS BEAUTIFUL REPRESENTATIVES OF A COLLECTION OF CELLS/ORGANISMS THAT HAVE EVOLVED/ADAPTED TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT IN A VERY LOW TIME PREFERENCE MANNERā¦AS THEY ARE VERY PERSISTENT OVER TIME ITSELFā¦AND THAT IT REALLY WHAT WE ALL SHOULD BE FIGHTING AGAINSTā¦NOT EACH OTHER BUT THE NATURAL WORLDS EVER CHANGING ATTEMPTS TO TERMINATE OR SPECIES AS A WHOLEā¦.
IN THAT WAY I GUESSā¦ OUR SPECIES IS MUCH LIKE A WEED IN THAT WE HAVE PERSISTED OVER TIME AND I FEEL LIKE WE ARE JUST TAKING THE āBABY STEPSā NEEDED TO PERSIST OVER THE NEXT EPOCH BASED ON SOUND MONEY AND A GREAT AWAKENINGā¦AS WE ALL COME TO REALIZE WE CAN LIVE EVEN BETTER LIVED WHEN WE STOP STEALING FROM EACH OTHERā¦.
THINK ABOUT THAT-WE ALL HAVE GROWN UP TEACHING EACH OTHER HOW TO BE HUMANS LIVING IN A WORLD OF THEFTā¦.
NOW WE GET TO REACH EACH OTHER HOW TO LIVE IN COOPERATION WITH EACH OTHERā¦
AND THE BEST IDEAS WILL BE THOSE THAT āPERSISTā THE LONGEST BY BEING THE MOST ADOPTED AND ADAPTED OVER TIME
Thanks for sharing your wisdom, sir.

Cooking is like piƱatas and love: you highly enjoy taking your time to prepare the object of your attentionā¦ then it can take 5mn to finish your dish, to destroy the piƱata or to make love; and thatās ok.
