"This is it." #Bitcoin

Observation: No-coiners aren’t having fun being poor. Rather, they simply cannot bear to admit they were wrong about #Bitcoin, and thus view that admission as worse than being poor, even if only subconsciously.

In time, most will overcome this.

That look Bitcoiners give you when you say you aren’t interested in the hardest money known to mankind.

“The Buddhist Nirvana is defined as release from samsara, literally the Round of Birth and Death, that is, from life lived in a vicious circle, as an endlessly repetitious attempt to solve a false problem.”

— Alan Watts, Psychotherapy East & West

“Even Saint Thomas Aquinas let it out that part of the blessedness of the saints in Heaven was that they could look over the battlements and enjoy the ‘proper justice’ of the sinners squirming in Hell. All winners need losers; all saints need sinners; all sages need fools—that is, so long as the major kick in life is to ‘amount to something’ or to ‘be someone’ as a particular and separate godlet.”

— Alan Watts, The Book

If you’re still able to buy #Bitcoin with fiat, you’re early. nostr:note1y6g325yq62ymmwkvderug49klv3jqp50t9lptrhcmhpzaaaqvresnj9tgu

As much as I enjoy watching the #Bitcoin price go up, I enjoy watching Moscow Time approach midnight even more.

#Bitcoin is a lantern in the dark.

Norm understood ‘tat tvam asi’

Still remember the first time #Bitcoin truly *clicked* for me.

It wasn’t learning about Bitcoin that led me the this moment, however; it was understanding how fiat works.

I kept asking myself, could this be true? Could the fiat system really be this rotten, this corrupt, infecting everything from academia to nutrition to architecture to news to healthcare to cultural decay and beyond?

It’s had to accept at first, just as it is hard to awaken from the Matrix. Most aren’t ready to be unplugged. It takes tremendous humility to admit not only that you’ve been lied to your entire life, but that you fell for those lies.

If you are ready… Wake up, Neo.
