The good news is that this is often just a phase. It goes like this —

1. Fine out about Bitcoin. See it as a “trade” like any other asset.

2. Try to find a shortcut by buying scamcoins, get rekt.

3. Become a true Bitcoiner, start stacking sats, become perhaps even a bit *too* bullish.

4. Enter Bitcoin purgatory. Put off enjoying life and working hard, listen to too many podcasts, wait for hyperbitcoinization deliverance

5. Realize waiting is a fool’s errand. Start working hard again, enjoying life, and simply save the fruits of your labor in cold hard sats. nostr:note1st4mze0wtd33cpzx3324xjzgmflqcqqfwsm8k40ws6t7nmg2crws6p0r2m

Wow I'm so predictable

Yeah - this one touches a nerve. I've only just realised that I've been in this bitcoin purgatory. Head down, working & sacrificing my time & soul for fiat mining.

I'm a bit over a month into my break from this. I'm enjoying the break & working out where I'm to focus my time & energy moving forward.

I'm spending a few sats but haven't sold any yet. The stacking has stopped though & I'm dealing with that feeling but enjoying life again. Enjoying the simple & largely free things available.

Bitcoin has almost entirely removed mindless consumerism from my consciousness.
