Proof-of-Work for the Soul: Sincere Appreciation in a Trustless World

In How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie reminds us of a timeless truth: people crave appreciation — sincere and honest, not flattery. In a fiat world flooded with cheap talk and inflated egos, real praise is like hard money — rare, valuable, and rooted in proof-of-work.

As Bitcoiners, we understand the value of trustless systems. But when it comes to human relationships, trust still matters — and it's earned through integrity and respect. Offering genuine appreciation is a way to verify someone's contribution, not just blindly trust it.

Next time a fellow pleb shares something insightful, helps you with a node issue, or just shows conviction through the bear, don’t just “like” and scroll. Take a moment. Say thanks. Show them their work mattered.

In a decentralized world, it's the small acts of honest validation that keep our network strong.
