I’ve heard a similar saying: what you fear, you attract.

Yeah I noticed this negative effect first hand around 2023. I was deep down the Bitcoin rabbit hole and I was euphoric. I was so excited and hopeful for the future. It was the Trojan horse. It was savior of humanity. But then I came across Matt Odell and listened to the dark side. The surveillance state’s violation of human rights. That put the black cloud back over my head. And even though I know things hardly ever turn out as bad as we imagine them to be, it’s hard to shake it off. Too much euphoria left me vulnerable but too much pessimism makes life unlivable.

If you really care about someone joining bitcoin tell them to shut up about it, like really shut up, at least until they understand what's what. This is rarely the case.

Optimism is not euphoria. Optimism is cheering for your benefit. This doesn't have to be reckless. Pessimism is cheering against you.

Bitcoin doesn't have to be perfect to be the best chance out there. It's pretty good tho, it offers you the chance to plan long term, like really long term.

Paranoia is only half the story. Pronoia pays better. Anyway, the state doesn't give a shit that Bob or Alice have a few bitcoins stashed away. People are less important than they think they are, on a larger scale.
