I couldn't hold it either, but I'm aiming for that at one point. When something triggers you, it has power over you. I'm still finding weak spots constantly. First it's an automatic response which is animal like in nature. After a while it's a conscious choice to repeat that response. Maybe I've let Dr. Manhattan make too much of an impression on me. 😅

Jokes aside, the majority of people don't have 100 partners in a lifetime. I think the average is about a dozen rn. I do think these numbers will explode in the future. Poverty is nasty af and stuff is expensive, but social media is free. People see luxurious lifestyles and desire to replicate it for their own. Lack of proper education is one of the causes. Families breaking down are even more important in this education. Apart from studying bitcoin and taking responsibility for your actions, I have very little advice on how to get out of this colossal pit.

Same. Stoicism is something to aspire to.

Worst part for her is that she wasn’t even poor to begin with. Something’s wrong with society. And yes. Bitcoin doesn’t fix this

I think it will fix it, but some will be able to burn through fiat longer, maybe decades longer.

It's lack of attention from the parents, it's way more often in fiat wealthy families. This builds up some sort of abandonment issue in the kids, feeling they're not good enough to receive love and affection. In my experience you can't reason with that until they go broke or suffer a tragedy. People laugh, but sins of the parents come down to the children. It's even worse, the lore says it goes up 7 generations.

I think bitcoin will help get rid of influencer types.

Bad parenting is terrible. Does it fix this too? I’m not 100% sure. I wonder if a bitcoin standard changes all the bad aspects of human nature. Hard to say

Totally agree on the 7 generations thing. Takes time to “fix” the way we are. A lot of it comes from our upbringing. And if we go back, the parent’s upbringing, etc…

I don't know, but I think this is the best chance we've got in a very long time. Our grandkids will be free in ways we can't comprehend now. Bullish af! ☝🏻

Same. It brings me an enormous amount of hope
