Disagree. Clear pill you will make the best decisions you can, understanding how the world works.

Blue pill you will make the best decisions you can, but believing the world should work in some way other than actuality.

When the blue piller yields less than expected, it will be because of the “evil” in the world, or your karma will save you, or you are righteous for suffering because God knew you could handle it.

The clear is to stoicism, as the blue is to cope.

Orange pill is a non sequitur here.

As if that was some sort of superior understanding to How Things Are...?

weird

Yeah I’ve thought about this, and I’m not sure that I know if or where it should be. If Bitcoin is just a tool for exchange, then I agree with your sentiment.

But if you think Bitcoin is hope (literally), then maybe it is at the top. Hope and understanding do matter it seems.

It is what it is, but I am genuinely hopeful.

Thoughts?

yeah I guess Bitcoin is all kinds of things to different people

so fine, put it wherever.

for now anyway.

But eventually people have to destroy their illusions.

and Bitcoin is just a decentralized ledger.

Jdwagner17 1y ago

But do they need to destroy their illusions?

Hanshan 1y ago

whether they participate in the process or not,

their illusions will be destroyed.

Jdwagner17 1y ago

The trend is such

Hanshan 1y ago

as far as I can determine,

its The Law around here 😂

We are going to witness a lot.

I also think of Bitcoin as an enforcer of nature/the universes will. It’s an accelerator toward what will be. Humanity’s only chance to enshrine promises of one generation to another. Like DNA, we will be mostly powerless to the process.
