Agreed.

From my December 2023/January 2024 article:

“Whether the next evolutionary leap made by any individual is spiritual, biohacking, or otherwise, one thing is clear about Bitcoin: there is such thing as a Bitcoin metanoia. Hat tip to John Vallis for confirming that he refers to this same observed phenomenon as a Bitnoia. When someone really understands Bitcoin and the laser eyes turn on fully for the first time, a few things happen. First, the person realizes they need to get as much value as they possibly can into Bitcoin before the next bull cycle pops off. Second, they realize that, by sacrificing a certain amount of instant gratification now for a few years, they can leverage orders of magnitude more delayed gratification. In other words, they figure out low time preference. The third thing they figure out is that, if gratification is delayed for a few years, it would be nice to make up for lost time by tacking on a few more years of life at the end. In order to achieve that goal, Bitcoiners often pursue the betterment and optimization of their body and mind by modifying their diet, adopting an intelligent exercise routine, and by curating for themselves a higher quality mental diet of news and voluntary studies of interest. They tend to turn off the mainstream propaganda and tune into other plebs offering signal in a world filled with noise. By finding good information, eating healthy, and exercising intelligently, we should be able to live longer, fuller lives.

Bitcoin has a tendency to get people in shape physically and mentally. Very often Bitcoin drives hodlers to, eventually, seek higher order spiritual truths. This is a very common trend. Many find or re-find religion or spirituality after falling down the Bitcoin rabbit hole. This is well explained by Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. As a no-coiner matures in perspective and as time passes, eventually they find themselves sitting on a life changing amount of purchasing power. This reduces anxieties over basic survival needs and allows the hodler to aim at higher order goals like professional accomplishments, validation, friendship, love, and ultimately, self-actualization.”
