“I judge you unfortunate because you have never lived through misfortune. You have passed through life without an opponent— no one can ever know what you are capable of, not even you.” – Seneca

“Set aside a certain number of days, during which you shall be content with the scantiest and cheapest fare, with coarse and rough dress, saying to yourself the while: “Is this the condition that I feared?” – Seneca

The easiest way to accept #bitcoin price volotility was written over 2,000 years ago.

In 2016, I dressed like a homeless man and bought lunch with change from my closet at a grocery store.

I'll never forget the look of disdain on the cashier's face as I handed him my pennies. That was the worst part, but it wasn't that bad. The rest of being homeless is camping and a few sideways looks are not so bad.

Swings don't even phase me anymore. 75k bitcoin or 95k bitcoin doesn't make much difference to my emotional state anymore.
