Hell if I know. The first other Bitcoiner I had ever met called me a psycho and autist. Maybe everyone is retarded and only some people have self awareness?

The tradfi system is designed to reward those who followed the rules. It’s by far the best return an individual or a community can get on their money, full stop. Yes it is also designed to instill conformity. It is supposed to make life easy- the payout-to-work ratio for a college grad was traditionally fucking incredible. Imagine earning a shit load of money without having to think too critically. Thinking is really hard! Only a fool would want to HAVE to think hard to earn a better life. The same could be argued for Bitcoiners, too, though: all you have to do is buy more bitcoin. It’s fucking simple. Where is the reward for thinking, when thinking is a lot of work and the conclusion is always the same: buy more bitcoin.
