Yeah it definitely feels like there's a persistent test going on.

Greedy temptation & paranoid fears are always surrounding us.

You can go a whole 4 years between lessons on stove touching. Any of these lessons could wipe out 90% of your wealth leaving no trace.

I'm thinking the test is about balance. Walking the area between the two dualities that define every aspect of Bitcoin.

Giving & receiving

Scarcity & abundance

Physical & nonphysical

Fear & love

Saving & spending

Responsibility & trust

Go too far in either direction & you get penalized.

The Bitcoin path is the middle path.
