well i'm reading this and agreeing with you even though it's not the case for me. I agree about the meaningless pursuit of pleasure. I agree about the surrounded by death part.

However I'm not sure I see how it's honoring or dishonoring ancestors. I love the idea of ancestors watching from another dimension, but is this what you are saying? or am i keeping my own score in my head of my ancestral honor? how does this work.

Proof of work. Millions of lives survived long enough to reproduce so that you could be here. They survived war, famine, rape, murder, disease, predators, harsh climates, betrayal, the worst atrocities humans and nature are capable of committing, all to bring you the gift of life. You stand at the end of that proof of work chain and it’s up to you if you produce a new block or let the entire chain die.

Whether they are watching from beyond or not I can’t say, but I’m also inclined to believe they are.

That’s just you projecting your feelings on it. Cool pov, but if you don’t want kids/never planned too then it is more or less an irrelevant opinion, for others have kids so the entire chain doesn’t die so 🤷‍♂️🤝

No. That’s the literal genetic reality. The human tree doesn’t die, but your specific branch does. That’s the reality of the situation.

That’s not your branch. That’s their branch. Your branch is dead.

maybe bitcoin financial freedom will soon be responsible for a "bitcoin baby boom" 80 years after the first baby boomers. i've heard empires go in 80 year cycles.
