Bitcoin is a filter.

The people who see Bitcoin as scam or a greater fool scheme are projecting their beliefs onto it. They either don't buy it or they sell "the top".

Bitcoin & Bitcoiners move on without them.

For the first year I thought Bitcoin was a scam. I found it hard to trust that other the Bitcoiners wouldn't sell.

After a year of trying to find where the scam was & gaming out various scenarios, I couldn't find one. The only logical play was to acquire as many bitcoin as possible & to hold them as long as possible. The only thing I had to trust was the ability of other humans to come to the same logical conclusion. Did it have to be all humans? No, it only had to be the 20% who were awake & actively choosing. That's about the point when I went all in.

We each have a responsibilty to hold our bitcoin securely. To avoid a situation where your bitcoin stolen or you're forced to sell it. This is personal responsibility though & not some altruistic bullshit. I don't have to trust that people will act in my best interest, just that they'll act in their own best interest.

It's a bet that humans are sovereign souls & are consciously choosing what they believe & prefer.

I make my bet knowing that if it is wrong, then we as a species are not fit to rule ourselves.
