Can someone explain the contradictory Bitcoin catch phrases I see on a regular basis?

“Stay humble. Stack sats.”

And

“Have fun staying poor.”

How do these things come from one group?

Why should I be humble?

Humble is a synonym for meek. Meek is defined as submissive—easily imposed on.

Did you know that the translation is actually closer to “the disciplined shall inherit the earth”?

Why would I choose to be meek over disciplined?

“Stay submissive stack sats”

Doesn’t exactly have a good ring to it does it?

These sayings arent universally applicable but people tend to apply them as such. Heres my take.

Afaik Stay humble stack sats is simply meant not to boast about your stack. Just stack, its no one's business but your own. Humble isn't always meek. Humble can be quietly strong. I define humble here as not to boast and to do things in a principled way without seeking fame or attention.

Have fun staying poor - its simple. You can lead a horse to water but you cant make them drink. Have fun staying thirsty.

You can be humble and help friends and family find bitcoin. If they don't get it, sorry hfsp I guess. It is humble strength to help someone in need without seeking return, but also to be able to eventually step away and allow that person to ultimately help themselves (or not as the case may be.)

Ok I think I took the idea of “stay humble” to mean more of the idea of staying humble ABOUT the IDEA of stacking sats. Not necessarily about the amount part. Didn’t even occur to me. So yeah that’s valid.

I was coming from a place of “yo we should be screaming from the rooftops that we are stacking sats”

The issue I had about HFSP was more the relationship between the two sayings and in my mind the messages kinda contradicted one another. But now I think it makes more sense hahaha.

Thanks!
