Selfish projection is real, 100% agree

I like your style.

👍

Ignoring other people is pretty much the mode I run in because I assume they're all just as ignorant at me. 😳😱

Most people want to think their Doctors are this ethically pure, like wonderful life saving, selfless person.

Man, they became a Doctor to get money and status. They're monkeys, like us. They're meeting Mommy and Daddy's expectations.

Doctors are people too. They've just spent alot more time studying and doing what the 'establishment' tell them to do. They are in bubbles, like everyone, and have their own interests and incentives and bias. That bias is dangerously predetermined by schooling and insurance policies. (They like to get paid.)

They go along to get along with poisoning and farming the public for healthcare income.

HODL dropping insights as the Bitcoin price rips.

Chad!

Creatives know, they don't limit themselves from social pressure

I’m reading Marcus Aurelius and your post reminds me of an entry of his.

He recognizes each day that he will meet with the busybody, the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envious, unsocial. And he recognizes that all of these things happen to them because of their ignorance. It helps him not feel animosity toward them or offense from them.

But also, to your point, why would he ever take guidance from them. They are projecting from their own viewpoints and see life through their own lens. At a certain point, putting their advice above your own self guidance is disrespect to your life experience and the time you have invested in your knowledge and your own analysis of the world as it occurs around you.

Good for you, to stand on your own two feet and to own the outcome of your life.

Before I bought my first Bitcoin, the 58k gang told me it would never break 58k, said I was wasting my time.

I bought anyway. It hit 63k.

When it dropped back to 58k, they laughed again.

I bought more. It went to 64k. Silence.

The 58k gang warned me that holding past 63k was reckless, said I'd regret it.

We hit 65k. No regrets.

The opinions of the 58k gang are just reflections of their own self-imposed price ceilings. You can safely ignore them.

You think that you shouldn’t care about what people would say or do if you know that what you are doing is right.

Sometimes you might think you are right, you are not though. In terms of spending the following verse is advised to take into consideration:

وَلَا تَجْعَلْ يَدَكَ مَغْلُولَةً إِلَىٰ عُنُقِكَ وَلَا تَبْسُطْهَا كُلَّ الْبَسْطِ فَتَقْعُدَ مَلُومًا مَحْسُورًا

And do not make your hand [as] chained to your neck or extend it completely and [thereby] become blamed and insolvent.

Share many sentiments. Was kicked out my own house as a teenager and told i was going to be a garbageman, laughed at the idea of my business when telling people about it, people dismissed bitcoin, was told i shouldn't sell all my stonks and keep it all with a HNWI firm, shamed for not taking the vax, etc..

My greatest successes in life have all been a joke to others.

If they could only see me now.

There is value in listening to smart and successful people but we need to always use critical thinking when making decisions.

I’ll be forever grateful to many in the Bitcoin space including you. 🫡

Being raised by a compulsive liar, I learned at a young age that most people have no idea what the fuck they are talking about. Listen with your eyes.

100% agree. People give “advice” through the lens of their own fear, insecurity, and unmet needs. Advice is very rarely genuine. Not even usually malicious, it’s just hard to give advice that isn’t colored by your own struggles.

What’s your company?

Bitcoin will never hit $1M per coin.

Amen!

Believe in yourself and possibility. No need for boxes.

In a society where people are force-fed opinions, few have the conviction to stand behind their own thoughts.

Never give in. 🫡

In Dutch there is a word for this: ‘eigenwijs’.

The literal translation would be ‘own wisdom’

But Google translates it as ‘stubborn’.

I’ve been called eigenwijs more than I can count, and most of the times it wasn’t meant as a compliment.

But eigenwijs as I am, I always took it as one.

And I’m very happy with where my life is as a result of it 👊

That’s a really intuitive observation😎 sometimes the people we are closest to are the worst critics

You made the right decision in not going to law school. Practicing law sucks.

Thank you

Yhe lesson is that nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs is always right and those that disagree are always wrong.

It’s interesting how often the people closest to us are the ones who doubt or discourage us, while strangers can sometimes be the biggest supporters. Your story is such a great reminder that other people’s doubts often stem from their own fears and insecurities. Trusting yourself and pushing forward, despite the noise, can lead to incredible things.

My mother in law was told the same, she could never have more children, it was a lazy doctor, just wanted more money, she had 2 more children after 40

🙌🙌🙌🙌💪

What an amazing testimony!

Respect.

You are living YOUR best life. Love it.

4 is a good number. Congrats! 🤙

My wife and I had an 8 year old and a 1 year old when we decided to try for a 3rd. Someone was laughing at us trying for a 3rd.

Fast forward to today I have an 11 year old a 4 year old and three 2 year olds.

The truth in this gave me pause

People’s fears often reflect their own limitations, not yours. Keep proving them wrong!

so true

Thank you for the lesson sir, but maybe also law school would've worked out, or saving less and or having less kids. Just don't try to be the superhero of your own story as this is a trap. 🧡

based!!

The loudest critics are often the most insecure. 💪

are you winning son?

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you and then you win.

So you’re saying I have a chance?!

Brains are stupid. They make stupid shit up all the time.

This topic really resonates on such a deep level. Many of us here have faced the same struggles…being dismissed as “crazy,” “stubborn,” or “impulsive.” But it’s in those moments of doubt from others that we find our strength. There’s a bittersweet feeling when the same people who once underestimated us are now standing on the sidelines, witnessing our achievements. We will rise above and find that we were always capable.

“The things other people say/believe are almost always about themselves and their own hang ups and insecurities. You can safely ignore them.” - I’m going to put this in my every other days reminder! Thanks HODL

Bingo
