Noticing more envy in bitcoin culture.

I think nostr:npub1yrf6e774ggeylt7e7s784jv9ydawv5c4z5zj4arvvs04q7lkulvqdgkaz3 has been the earliest to point this out, many people simply didn’t stack hard enough and are reverting back to fiat communism as a cope.

If you didn’t do enough stacking during this epoch start fixing that now and continue until the job is done.

Only way out is through.

Put aside the envy, it’s like holding a hot stone and waiting to throw it at someone. All you’re doing is burning your hand.

Best time to stack was at 16k. Second best time is now.

The envy in Bitcoin culture is nothing compared to the envy in Bitcoin-adjacent cultures and communities

I can only imagine how hard the cope is going to be when Bitcoin is sitting at $1.0M

I hope that people take action sooner rather than later so that this outcome can be prevented as much as possible

Yeah the envy we see in bitcoin culture is a leading indicator of what is to come.

is human nature to be envious

it has zero to do with Bitcoin

True.

To be really fair, I haven’t experienced or seen that much envy in the Bitcoin community (at least those I talk with)

Most people understand that we all have a shared goal and that a good money lifts everyone up - envy is the ego playing tricks and normally is self destructive

Bitcoin is an unprecedented wealth event in human history. It’s got something to do with it.

it's a big deal for sure

I’m very fortunate that I think my social circle is catching on before it will be too late

It already feels a bit isolating being in a significantly different position and having a significantly different perspective from my peers, and I’ve only been in Bitcoin since 2021

Hence the importance of privacy and how flaunting your wealth is one of the quickest ways to destroy it.

I think people underestimate the time and amount of stacking required. I know I did. Give it two full cycles and commit to it. It won't matter which two in the end. Don't let your ego get in the way because you didn't buy at $10.

Best time to stack was buying 10k BTC for 2 pizzas.

Second best time is now.

There's nothing between those two extremes, if you weren't first there's always someone you could envy.

Or you can release envy and build. No middle ground, no third option.

I'm at peace with my stack. This is my questionnaire:

- Have I worked as hard and efficient as I possibly could? Yes

- Have I covered all fields of expenses and have I not compromises my wellbeing and that of my family while working hard and minimizing consumerism? Yes

- Have I put all excess currency into Bitcoin? Yes

- Have I engaged in serious studies, do I understand Bitcoin ground up and have I replaced pep-talk, belief and wishful thinking with knowledge and the clearest vision I can think up and articulate? Yes

- Do I feel good about this journey? Yes

- If I could go back, would I do something different? No.

Thats all. I count my blessings, I do what I have to do and it is alright.

I see arrogance and a better than you attitude too

Envy and Arrogance don't mix

Envy only poisons your own mind. It’s doesn’t do anything but worsen your own situation. Can be hard, but you’re right you have to push it aside. I feel like people need to forgive themselves for not stacking more and take comfort in having more sats than 99.9% of the planet. That’s still winning even if you don’t have a whole coin.

Once bitcoin really went mainstream in 2021, we lost the libertarian/econ background types to a sea of marxists (dumb money), the popular mainstream religion now. I could tell how much the marxists were enjoying btc going down, rooting against the ppl that adopted it before them. They thought they now had the leverage, and it was the “community” (collectivism) that mattered, not their stack size. It was their follower count that mattered (anyone making bearish calls would get tons), not who was right and had the signal. They were all blaming plan b for why we didn’t hit $100k, taking no accountability (like Marxist’s do). I’m glad the orange pillers got caught on the wrong side, it was an important lesson. They had to get humbled and realize this is about individualism, and no one was coming to save them. They can either double down and keep crying, rooting against number go up (“cheap sats bro”), or realize they were wrong and it was based in jealousy and envy, and pivot and now take it seriously and understand the time sensitivity that has always existed in this fixed supply asset. They aren’t hard to read either way. They were telling on themselves by how foolishly they were acting at the bottom, when they were all so sure $10k or below was inevitable, and we had years before it would turn around, if ever. Now they are competing against whales like blackrock and we will never go back to the unregulated degen days of the pre-etf era, another call that got wrong (that ETFs would get denied, and once approved, that they weren’t material; horrible horrible calls). Fafo.

Where is this manifesting and in what way exactly? I haven’t seen this here on Nostr at all.

That’s generally the response, gaslighting. It’s not explicit, you have to read in between the lines. Ppl with a bag aren’t cheering for their own downfalls. It goes against human nature.

ok

They virtue signal this fake altruism like oh blackrock is bad, imagine supporting them entering btc! But really it means that they are upset that they missed out permanently on pre-etf prices. They won’t say that though, since they are Marxist’s living a lie.

Sounds like aspiring gatekeepers of a network that nobody has to ask permission (not even to zealot gatekeepers) to join.

Yup, that’s the ironic part, they tried to gatekeep btc lol. An open permissionless network. Whole parroting “Bitcoin is for enemies.” They have a lot of mutually exclusive takes. The rich were always going to adopt btc if it was successful. And that’s a good thing. We need capital inflows

Mainly twitter

Heard that…c/o 2020 and felt like I was WAY late to the game but started stacking anyways. Feelin prime after stacking though the dip coming into the halving 😎

I've seen this in meatspace.

Didn't stack hard enough & feeling like price is working against them now.

They think they can wait for the bear.

I think this is as good as it gets. Only up from here. Anything under $100k is a crazy bargain.

Everytime the OP in me comes out I go and scroll nostr:npub1yrf6e774ggeylt7e7s784jv9ydawv5c4z5zj4arvvs04q7lkulvqdgkaz3 feed to remind myself I'm better than that 🫡🤣

Hahaha

What if I staked below $16K in the earlier days & then watched it go to $69K & then stacked more at $15,700?

All while not losing my temper or my mind. Well maybe lost the mind part for a bit tbh. Paper gains & losses will fuck with a man. It’s all meaningless in the end. STACK, HODL, don’t sell.

Do what you can in the fiat shit world to eventually obtain more corn. (MSTR 👀👀👀)
