What makes bitcoin different than the other hard money, gold, in the respect? Bitcoin has a much stronger effect on us it seems, or maybe goldbugs feel this way too?
Bitcoin is as much a spiritual object as a monetary one. If you embrace this aspect of it, it will lift your spirit as much, or even more, than it raises your wealth.
And how you behave with it will expose your spirit to you and others as well.

Discussion
I think throughout history there are probably many examples of gold inspiring people to achieve great spiritual heights too. I don’t see any of that around me today. I am not saying spiritual elevation is only attainable through bitcoin. Rather bitcoin is a vehicle that shows values exceeding those of mere commercial exchange. Honesty, integrity, truth, verification, elegance, steadfastness, and on and on. These are values it reflects, protects, rewards, enforces and enhances. All of them, values that money alone cannot buy and that reside in the realm of the spirit.
