Talking to normies does remind me how far I've come, it's crazy how many people are conditioned towards activity bias, and the buy-and-hold strategy of #Bitcoin is too good to be true, it's too simple, it can't just be that easy right?

Instead, people are looking for side hustles, looking for cash flow from property or equities, and taking all sorts of risks to try and beat inflation

Yes, we've been conditioned (especially in government schools) to believe that being stolen from is the default human condition.

In reality, you should be able to work and store your excess without constant fear of it being stolen.

Slavery isn't the default human condition. Teaching people that is so hard because the conditioning begins in early childhood.

It's unfortunate, but I'm thankful we have #Bitcoin now. I'm all in and hope it succeeds because I have no hope if it doesn't.

Haven't they ever bought any blue chip stocks? Except bitcoin is even better.

We don't have direct access to the US stock market here in South Africa, you have to do it through shitty local ETFs and we also have capital controls, which is why a lot of South Africans hold shit local stocks that underperform like crazy in USD terms, but in local terms people think they're getting shit rich on paper

Some people still have hope in these assets because they can't see the difference between real returns and nominal returns and Bitcoin just looks like a volatility circus

Bankess I'm learning is a thing. Ita crazy how officials are doing all the things they can to hurt us (people of the world) and the we the people respond more to "meme coins"

What volatility? In the long term bitcoin always increases in buying power. One only has to look at the all time graph to see that. Guess they want to get rich quick. That's not what bitcoin is for. Hodling requires patience and a thick skin; one has to he in it for the long game.

Real estate, 401ks and mutual funds are shitcoins. You really get value by learning skills (like jujitsu which teaches you how to learn) and learning jujitsu, (which teaches you how to fuck up Normies). nostr:nevent1qqsf7sqkrr4cm6svcepw7y24xwgjy3gvx0xkh366mddyrftflay7swcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyplv60lxx5lvf3fkwfunaq2yts4rr8x0pg5c4ywh0tw05wrt2tes6qcyqqqqqqg58xyfy
