I recently started working at a cryotherapy spot while in school.

The concept of cryotherapy is to trigger your body into its natural fight response through exposure to -250F temperatures. If you stay exposed to the cold for 90 seconds, your body responds by producing *supercharged* oxygen, collagen, and anti-inflammatory proteins to prepare us to prevail over the perceived threat.

Basically, our bodies must be put under stress to show us what we’re really made of.

Can this correlation be drawn to money? How much stress do we need to be put under to emerge with the production of clean, powerful money… just as our body does with our blood.

Idk this could be a reach but it’s how my brain works.

I’d analogize that benefit from physiological stress to the #bitcoin halvening.

When the supply of bitcoin cuts in half, it creates stress — at first this stress is “costly” and hard to endure because there’s less money in circulation… people won’t have as much liquidity to invest with… but eventually this stress causes the purchasing power of each coin to rise.

We trade stress in the short-term for growth in the long-term, rather than indulging now & paying the consequences later.

I do the same every morning 🏊in still icecold seawater. I call it shock therapy. After the swim you feel supercharged again.

I tried to tie it to money… my half asleep brain read that you started working at a crypto-therapy spot! Makes me wonder what such a place would be.

There are certainly foundational values in the crypto that would be effective in psychotherapeutic practice - purpose, collaboration, honesty, community, etc. Something to think about for sure.

I think that's probably about what is happening right now in the fiat world. All the corruption that goes along with unfettered ability to print currency is accelerating and the resulting craziness is creating a lot of interest in freedom tech, in alternate systems of health care, education, etc.

I love the cross-pollination of ideas from one area to another. So much potential for radical insights. Do you use Obsidian?
