Yes and No.
I am saying that, maybe, the reason why so many vouch for the state adoption is not only the appraisal of being the winner in the end, but perhaps also, at least for some individuals with faith - the potential to purify human soul of a cancer of ego. I think that is what nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpzdmhxw309akx7cmpd35x7um58g6rsd3eqy28wumn8ghj7ct9va5hxtn4w3ux7tn0dejsgxtdrz also thinks is one of the functions of Bitcoin acceptance.
Oh like this post that Jeff Booth reposted? nostr:note19xrmz7gj88znp6ux8pchyyzwredch45828rnnnxmzeuh5mjnwu9qnvvqn3 (via Bitcoin Apex).
I totally agree actually. I can see how that has happened for me on a individual scale.
That actually is very intriguing and exciting. I think that’s always been possible even when people are “poor” though … but I’ve also see in my own life, how the toxic cultures of higher education and workplaces can exacerbate divisions. It sucks. Hence, the “broken system” phrase.
Not just this post, in general i think that's Jeff's proclamation.
David Bohm has many years ago pointed that our thinking creates fragmentation where there is none and sees wholeness when there is none as well.
I’ve read posts with similar sentiments on Reddit, in the subreddits of r/antiwork, r/leanFIRE, r/simpleliving, and r/adulting.
The slightly frustrating thing for me reading those posts is that nobody mentions Bitcoin. That’s why I’m liking Nostr. Those same topics are discussed, but with the inclusion of Bitcoin.
So basically everyone’s complaining about wanting more relaxation time for themselves …
it also gets repeatedly pointed out by people who have financial independence that - the problem shifts from ‘surviving’ to ‘thriving’, as in, having meaning and purpose in their daily life.
I’ve read a few posts from basically some newly rich person going, “now I’m bored!” haha
That's called being on the path of enlightenment
