Had a conversation about whether #Bitcoin is a form of spiritual awakening, and came up with this (probably inappropriate) analogy to explain where I stand:
Think of the IVF procedure. When couples try to conceive, they take hormone shots and rely on science to bypass natural selection. It’s not some shortcut to a perfect baby, and it doesn’t guarantee success. It’s just a tool. A shot at life.
Bitcoin, in that sense, is kinda like IVF. It doesn’t get you to spiritual awakening, not even close. But it might offer a glitch in the matrix. A break in the script. Through questioning the nature of money, some people start questioning everything. And in that process, they might end up on the path of seeking truth. Starting with the truth about themselves - the shadow work most bitcoiners probably still avoid.
Not all bitcoiners are into truth - because not all humans are. We’re still human, even with bitcoin. And bitcoin doesn’t fix our flaws—it amplifies them. Just like it amplifies our potential. It’s more of a mirror than a cure. Taking the orange pill isn’t the endgame—it’s just the beginning.
Same way that life doesn’t magically become easy just cuz you were conceived through science. IVF just gets you into the game. Then the real stuff begins.
Following that line of thought… normies would be the lost sperms. LOL.
