The forgiveness part being the most important for your/our own energetic wellbeing.
In my experience 🦋
If you live to the mid-2030s, you will see it.
To think otherwise is to waaaaaaaay overestimate the length of time it will take for the USD (and all other western fiat currencies) to enter their inevitable hyperinflationary spiral. 🌀💵🔥
Just my 2 cents 😉
I find this to be one of the most personally challenging paradoxes of human experience.
Yes, erecting and enforcing boundaries is very important.
However, the universe brings us people and situations that trigger us to show us where we need to let go and grow.
If we create a life circumstance that protects us from all suffering (and triggering) we would never evolve.
Your namesake’s (Siddharta’s) childhood story is exactly that.
Michael Singer’s Untethered Soul does a masterful job breaking this down as well.

He is right. Without MoE long term, it will fail. But I don’t worry about that anymore. Bitcoin is changing “us” FAR more than we have the capacity to change “it” and what it has in store for humanity.
I feel it, at times, in every cell of my body

nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Howard Lutnick has proclaimed Bitcoin as only a commodity and not a currency. He will and has put people around Trump with the same desire. That means that Bitcoin can't, at least for now, severe as a medium of exchange. How can Bitcoin survive if it doesn't have the ability to sever as a global (not just zapping sats on nostr and the like) medium of exchange?
Why do you think the US (or any Individual or Nation State) will dictate what Bitcoin will or will not become globally. It’s completely the opposite of what we witness by studying its emergence over the past 16 years.
If it were as simple as you are implying, it would be a very fragile and corruptible protocol/ecosytem. Yet it’s proven, so far, to be anything but.
I increasingly sense that Bitcoin is just “us”. All 8bn of us. As one organism. Connected in a secure, energy efficient way. Free to collaborate and connect without the centralised interference and leakage of our current system.
Like mycelium. 🍄🟫
The fact that everyone doesn’t get this yet is ok. Bitcoin doesn’t care who “gets it” and when. It’s emerging regardless. And its global/transnational reality makes it impossible to control. Even if you/we can’t draw a complete flow chart of what it WILL look like in its completed, multilayered form/architecture. That’s the nature of something that is EMERGENT. It can’t be seen in its entirety (or finality) AS it’s emerging.
But that’s a feature of nature. Not a bug. It means, exactly what you fear in your question above ☝️ is not the risk you fear it is.
I have found that to really grasp this, I have to contemplate it. As in the metaphysical sense of the word. 🪬
Toggling between my rational and creative sides of the brain. Only “thinking” about it doesn’t quite get me there. Bitcoin is Sacred Geometry, in a way.
This is the magic of our growing community, in my opinion. Coming together over this mind blowing, emergent protocol is LITERALLY shifting our perceptive genetics. 🧬
Anyway….rest easy my friend. I don’t think the state is an immutabe threat to ANY layer of Bitcoin. Conversely, it MAY be just what it needs to continue to shape and strengthen its already inherent anti-fragile development.
Much love 🙏🏻💓

That’s incredible 😲
Oooooo. I love that. The insight AND the art 🪬💓
Maybe not for you.
But it CAN be (A distraction) For many/most who think that our “external” tech will save humanity.
Not realising that without a focus on our “internal” tech first, we will suffer the same systems issues regardless.
(Similarly, without Bitcoin to reorganise the value and info exchange between 8bn humans we will never escape the suppression of centralised control.)
Just like your cancer example. I don’t believe we need better tech/medicine to “fight cancer”. We need to heal our selves (individually and collectively) from the inside out to stop “creating” cancer.
This is the perspective of more and more mainstream physicians and scientists now as well.
But it sucks, because it means we have to dump all of our old victim narratives and come together collectively.
Bitcoiners like Jeff Booth speak to this much more eloquently than I.
Thank you for your time and patience with this chat. 🙏🏻
Peace friend 💓🧬
Instead of only focusing of what “tech” we can create externally, be curious about what “tech” you already possess in your/our own dna 🧬
You may be as (wonderfully) surprised as I was 🦋

Nothing more healthy than a solid hit of thankful-producing serotonin and oxytocin!

Never been so happy to see the price of Bitcoin go DOWN.
Washing out all of this overly exuberant short term speculation. 🧼🤪
All the while helping Long Term HODLers stack and get coins off exchanges. 💎 🤚
Meant “MSTR” is a Rorschach Test. But come to think of it, both apply 🧐
Bitcoin is a Rorschach Test 👁️
