Change is the Path to Growth: Learning from Mistakes

We all make mistakes. It’s part of being human. What truly matters is not how often we get it wrong but whether we can recognize our missteps and grow from them. This is especially true for those in positions of influence, where changing one's opinion can be both difficult and profound. Take Larry Fink and Michael Saylor, for example, two leaders who have shown that it’s never too late to learn and evolve.

In 2017, Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, made waves by calling Bitcoin an “index of money laundering.” For him, and many others in traditional finance, Bitcoin seemed like a risky, speculative tool, mostly useful for those looking to avoid the law.

And then there’s Michael Saylor, the CEO of MicroStrategy. Back in 2013, he tweeted that “Bitcoin’s days were numbered” and likened its fate to online gambling. At the time, Bitcoin was still very much misunderstood, and Saylor like many others didn’t see the potential that was hiding beneath the surface.

But here’s the thing: People can change.

Fast-forward a few years, and both Fink and Saylor completely turned their opinions around. By 2020, Saylor became one of Bitcoin’s biggest champions, investing billions of dollars into it as a hedge against inflation. He didn’t just change his mind, he went all in. Bitcoin wasn’t some fleeting trend anymore; it was a financial revolution that he was now at the forefront of.

Similarly, Larry Fink, the man who once dismissed Bitcoin as a tool for criminals, referred to it as “digital gold” in 2023. What changed? He saw Bitcoin’s ability to act as a hedge against inflation, a safe haven for investors when traditional currencies were losing value. His shift was solidified when BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, began pursuing a Bitcoin ETF. Fink’s public turnaround showed that even the biggest names in finance could admit they were wrong.

What’s fascinating about these stories is how they highlight the power of self-awareness. It takes real strength and humility to admit when you’ve been wrong and even more courage to pivot in front of the world. Fink and Saylor remind us that it’s okay to change our minds. In fact, it’s a sign of growth.

The lesson here isn’t just for billionaires and CEOs—it’s for everyone. We all stumble along the way. What counts is that we learn from those stumbles, pick ourselves up, and keep moving forward.

As individuals, we should also allow room for others to change. If we lock people into their past mistakes and refuse to let them evolve, we’re denying them the very human opportunity to grow. Forgiveness and understanding are what make progress possible.

Fink and Saylor show that transformation is not just possible but necessary for progress. The same could be true for any of us.

What About Warren Buffett and Peter Schiff?

Now, let’s talk about Warren Buffett and Peter Schiff. Buffett, one of the most respected investors, called Bitcoin “rat poison squared.” He remains skeptical, firmly believing that Bitcoin lacks intrinsic value and is more like gambling than investing. But, as we've seen with Fink and Saylor, minds can change. If fiat currencies continue to lose value and the financial world shifts, there’s always a chance Buffett might rethink his stance. After all, if Bitcoin is “rat poison,” maybe the “rat” is the fiat system that’s rapidly losing credibility.

Then there’s Peter Schiff, who has been a vocal critic of Bitcoin for years. Schiff has called it everything from a bubble to a Ponzi scheme, consistently predicting its failure. He remains firm in his belief that gold is the only real store of value. Yet, if history teaches us anything, it’s that even the most adamant critics can have a change of heart. Maybe it won’t be tomorrow, but who knows what time and reflection could bring?

The takeaway? We all make mistakes, and that’s perfectly fine. What matters is how we respond to those mistakes, whether we dig our heels in or open ourselves up to new perspectives. Fink and Saylor’s transformations show us that admitting you were wrong and moving forward is not a weakness, it’s a strength. Growth comes from learning, and learning comes from being humble enough to accept when you’ve been mistaken.

Let’s embrace change, forgive others’ mistakes, and allow ourselves the grace to evolve. That’s how we move forward, both as individuals and as a society.

The Devil Doesn’t Exist: It’s All in Your Head

Let’s get one thing straight: there is no devil. That’s right. No guy with horns, a pitchfork, or some creepy grin, waiting to sabotage your life. The whole concept of a “devil” is nothing more than an illusion, a bedtime story centralized religions have been telling for centuries to keep people in check. Fear is a powerful tool for control, and what better way to instill fear than to conjure up an ultimate villain? But here’s the thing — from a higher perspective, from the view of God (whether you see that as a he, she, or it), the idea of a devil just doesn’t exist.

So where does that leave us? Are there really no evil forces lurking in the shadows? Not quite. What we think of as “evil” or “dark” isn’t some external force like a devil pulling strings from behind the curtain. No, it’s more like misguided souls — people or energies that have lost their way, forgot who they truly are, or got tangled up in some bad decisions. Sure, they can cause harm, but that doesn’t make them inherently evil. They’re just... confused. Think of them like that one friend who keeps making terrible choices but is still trying to figure things out.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The idea of a devil didn’t just pop out of nowhere. It was created — quite intentionally — by centralized religions. Why? Because fear sells. If you can get people scared enough, you can control them. And what’s scarier than some red-skinned, horned demon waiting to drag you into eternal doom? Answer: not much. And that’s exactly the point. By making people afraid of this imaginary entity, they can be controlled, manipulated, and kept from asking too many inconvenient questions.

But here’s the twist — our minds are powerful. Crazy powerful, actually. So powerful that we can literally make something that doesn’t exist seem like it does. Ever had a nightmare that felt too real? That’s your brain for you. And when we’re scared, when we believe in something enough — even if it’s fake — our minds can whip up images and experiences that seem like the real deal. That’s how some people end up convinced they’ve encountered the devil, or felt some dark force at work. It’s all in their head. Our minds are like a factory for illusions when fueled by fear.

And here’s an example you’ve probably heard: someone does something bad — really bad, like murder — and then they say, “Oh, the devil made me do it.” Let’s be honest here, that’s just an excuse. Plain and simple. The devil didn’t make them do anything because the devil doesn’t exist! They’re trying to dodge accountability, blame something outside of themselves, instead of owning up to the fact that they made that choice. No external boogeyman forced their hand; it’s all on them. It’s a lot easier to say “the devil made me do it” than to face the truth that the decision came from their own mind.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But wait, I’ve seen people who seem downright evil.” I get it. The world isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. There are people who do dark things, and we’ve all had moments where certain energies or situations feel heavy, dark, even scary. But guess what? That’s not because of some devil in the mix. It’s because of misalignment, fear, and confusion — not some all-powerful evil force pulling the strings.

Here’s the trick to breaking out of this illusion: stop giving power to things that aren’t real. The more you think about the devil or some negative force, the more your mind will build it up like it’s a real thing. And trust me, it’s not worth your energy. Shift your focus away from fear and toward love, because that’s what’s real. Love is the real deal, and it doesn’t need any smoke and mirrors to prove itself. Fear, on the other hand, is like the world’s worst magician, pulling fake devils out of hats.

Let’s be real — we’re all born from the same divine Source, connected to the same light. Even those who seem lost or caught up in dark deeds are just temporarily off-course. They aren’t evil at their core; they’ve just forgotten who they really are. Higher beings — angels, guides, ascended masters — they get this. To them, the idea of a devil is like a bad punchline. They see beyond the human-made illusion and know that even the most misguided soul can find its way back to the light.

So what’s the takeaway? First, stop using the devil as a scapegoat. It’s time we all own our actions, our choices, and stop blaming imaginary forces. Second, stop feeding the fear. The more we think about what isn’t real, the more we make it seem real. Let’s shift the narrative. Let’s put our energy into things that matter — things like compassion, love, and understanding. When we do that, we step into our power as creators of our reality.

And this is where Bitcoin comes into the picture. You see, just like the idea of the devil was used to control people through fear, centralized money systems have done the same. They’ve held power over our lives, our work, our time, creating a system of control that often leaves us feeling powerless, stuck, and disconnected. But Bitcoin is different. It’s decentralized, free from the hands of any controlling entity, and it empowers us to take back control — of our money, our time, our future.

Bitcoin doesn’t operate through fear. It’s built on truth, transparency, and freedom. When you discover Bitcoin, it’s like flipping on a light switch. Suddenly, you see how the systems we’ve been living under — much like the concept of the devil — were based on illusions designed to keep us in line. Bitcoin shines a light on a different path, one built on sovereignty, fairness, and hope. And as more people embrace it, we begin to see how love, not fear, can guide humanity.

When you align with something like Bitcoin, which is grounded in truth, you begin to see life differently. There’s a shift in perspective. Suddenly, there’s hope. There’s optimism for the future, for a world where we’re not being manipulated by fear-based systems but instead empowered by systems that are built on trust and freedom. Just like letting go of the illusion of the devil frees us from fear, embracing Bitcoin helps us let go of the chains of centralized control, allowing us to step into a future of love, compassion, and abundance.

So remember: there’s no devil. There’s no external force controlling you. It’s all an illusion. And just like Bitcoin is breaking down the illusions of control in our financial systems, we have the power to break down the illusions of fear in our own minds. It’s all about where you focus your energy. Choose love, choose truth, and watch how your reality transforms.

"Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions." — Dalai Lama

Just like stacking sats, happiness isn’t handed to you. You gotta put in the work, make the choices, and focus on the things that matter. Whether it's life or Bitcoin, you create your own value.

#Happiness #TakeAction #BitcoinWisdom

We've all wondered at some point: "What's my life purpose?" It's the big question we can't escape. So, let me share some light: Life is about experiencing, evolving, and becoming self-aware. It’s not about a set destination, but the journey itself.

And oddly enough, Bitcoin mirrors this! Just like life, Bitcoin’s decentralized—there’s no one telling you what to do, no judgment, just a protocol. It's like life’s own lesson: everyone’s equal, and each experience is valuable. No judgment, just action and consequence.

Then there’s unconditional love—Bitcoin’s trustless nature is kinda like love without strings attached. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from; Bitcoin treats everyone equally. Trust isn’t placed in people or banks but in the network itself. Isn’t that like loving without expectations?

Finally, we have unity consciousness. Bitcoin’s strength comes from the more people who join in—the more adopters, the stronger the network. It’s the same with humanity. When we come together, we raise our consciousness. It’s about oneness. That’s what Bitcoin really represents—the power of unity, across borders, beliefs, and ideas.

Life and Bitcoin both remind us that it’s all about the journey, not the destination. Whether you're mastering financial sovereignty or just trying to figure yourself out, both are tools in helping you grow.

So basically, Nostr is like the cool coffee shop where everyone’s listening, and Twitter’s the noisy pub where you’re lucky if someone catches half your sentence. Looks like Nostr wins the 'engagement Olympics' with fewer followers but more thoughtful responses.

Ah, nothing says ‘trust us’ like dodging questions about chain analysis software, right? 🚶‍♂️ You’d think the Interior Ministry would just lay it all out, but nah, privacy is apparently on a need-to-know basis these days... and looks like we don’t need to know. 🙃

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." — Socrates

In Bitcoin, this couldn’t be more accurate. Every day is a reminder that there’s always more to learn, more to explore. But that’s the beauty of it—it’s a never-ending journey of growth.

Just when you think you understand Bitcoin, it throws something new at you. How humbling is that? Keep learning, stay humble, and maybe we’ll all be a little wiser along the way.

#Bitcoin #Socrates #KeepLearning

Bitcoin has more in common with reincarnation than you might think? In the grand scheme of things, reincarnation is about cycles. Life, death, rebirth. Rinse, repeat. Much like the endless loop of learning, evolving, and, yes, coming back for more, Bitcoin too operates in cycles: bull runs, bear markets, halvings, and hodling.

Reincarnation suggests that when we die, our essence returns in a new form, taking with us lessons from past lives to grow and ascend. Similarly, Bitcoin is constantly reborn—every block mined adds a new layer of permanence and growth, building on the past while forging forward. Much like the soul, Bitcoin is here for the long haul, adapting and evolving as the world changes.

Now, think about this: Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious figure(s) who gifted us Bitcoin, vanished after setting it in motion. No ego, no demands for worship, just pure intention to let the network grow on its own. It’s almost as if Bitcoin itself was born from a higher intention, a "soul" if you will, sent to guide us toward financial freedom and sovereignty.

Bitcoin doesn’t get stuck in the past; it moves forward, block by block, adjusting difficulty, going through halving cycles like lifetimes. And just like in reincarnation, there are opportunities to learn from mistakes. Sent sats to the wrong wallet? That’s like bad karma. Lost your keys? That’s your reincarnation lesson to guard your financial “soul” better next time.

Much like we strive to raise our vibrations in reincarnation, Bitcoin encourages us to think beyond scarcity and greed. It’s here to teach us responsibility. Every sat matters because, in this cosmic system, you control your wealth—just like in reincarnation, you shape your destiny with each decision.

Here’s a quick tip: Catholicism doesn’t endorse reincarnation, but did you know in early Christianity it was part of the teaching? It was later modified because a patriarchal society wanted more control, and by pushing the idea of YOLO, they could keep the masses in line by preaching eternal doom unless you follow their rules. Plus, every spiritual tradition and religion has talked about reincarnation. So why do centralized religions deny it? 🤔

It’s mind-blowing how aligned this all is, right? And while we may not have access to verify all this on the Akashic record (yet), it makes you wonder if Bitcoin’s near-perfection is just an accident, or maybe… something more?

Hear, hear!

Who would've thought? Bhutan, known for its peaceful mountains, and El Salvador, chilling by the beach, are now having a friendly face-off in the Bitcoin mining Olympics! Bhutan’s using Himalayan waterfalls like they’re turbo-charging the blockchain, while El Salvador’s tapping into volcano power—because why not? It’s like a global ‘who can mine cooler’ contest, and honestly, I'm here for it!

But remember, ‘Know thyself’—it's not about trying to outshine the rest. Focus on your own path, just like Bhutan and El Salvador are. True strength comes from understanding yourself, not from trying to be the most popular in the room!

#bitcoinwisdom #mining #bhutan #elsalvador

Between Michael Saylor chatting with Saifedean Ammous, Mallers vs. Schiff, and Trump vs. Harris, the world seems more divided than ever. The old saying “divide and conquer” is alive and well. The powers that be—call them the Kabal if you will—thrive off division. We live in a dense, low-frequency dimension, where we're tempted to pick sides: good vs. evil, left vs. right, winner vs. loser. Yet, in higher dimensions, duality is an illusion.

Good or bad—they’re just experiences. One we desire, the other not so much, but both paths lead to the same place. One might be a straight line, and the other a winding road, but they all converge in the end.

And then, there’s Bitcoin.

Bitcoin doesn’t care about politics. Bitcoin isn’t here to pick sides. Bitcoin is bipartisan. It’s love in digital form, helping us transcend this dense frequency of division. But while it’s a tool for higher consciousness, we mustn't idolize it. It’s not the end-all-be-all; it’s just a way to help us live more intentionally in this world.

Here’s where we must be careful: staying trapped in extreme polarity is easy, but it’s not the path forward. Bitcoin can teach us neutrality. Yes, discussions are healthy, but respect, non-violence, and love should always be the guide. After all, we all come from the same source, and one day, we’ll all return to that same source.

Bitcoin offers a moment of clarity, helping us rise above the noise. Let’s embrace it with humility, not extremism.

What do you think? Can we use Bitcoin to transcend these divisive energies?

"The soul, being invisible, can only be known by inner experience." – Paramahansa Yogananda

Yogananda knew the deal – real wealth is invisible. You gotta feel it. Which makes sense, because trying to explain Bitcoin to people sometimes feels like trying to explain meditation to a goldfish.

You can't see sats or your soul, but trust me, they’re both there doing the heavy lifting. So while everyone’s out chasing shiny things, I’ll be stacking sats and inner peace. Maybe one day they’ll catch up... or at least learn to sit still. 🧘‍♂️

They say truth is often stranger than fiction, and when it comes to the origin of Bitcoin, things get…otherworldly. Some even speculate that Bitcoin's creation wasn't just the product of human ingenuity but was nudged along by higher-dimensional beings. Remote viewers and mystics have claimed that Satoshi Nakamoto is not just a single individual but a collective—perhaps even guided by extraterrestrial intelligence. The fact that Satoshi amassed around 1 million Bitcoin and simply disappeared without ego or personal gain? That’s a mystery even the Akashic Records would nod in approval of.

But here’s where it gets even more interesting: Bitcoin’s halving cycles. Every four years, like cosmic clockwork, Bitcoin's issuance gets cut in half, reducing the supply. Isn't it curious how these halvings seem to align with major geopolitical events, like presidential elections? Call it coincidence or divine design, but it certainly makes one wonder. Is Bitcoin engineered for times of change, or did the cosmos gift us a tool for personal sovereignty right when we needed it most?

And let’s talk about responsibility. Bitcoin’s scarcity forces us to think differently. It’s not just a currency; it’s a mindset shift. With 21 million coins ever to exist, how we use each sat becomes a reflection of our intentions, decisions, and even spiritual alignment. It teaches us responsibility in a world that often rewards excess.

"Not your keys, not your coins" is more than just a mantra—it’s a call to take full ownership of your life’s path. Just like how Satoshi gracefully stepped away, allowing Bitcoin to grow on the free will of the masses, we are each responsible for our own keys, our own freedom. There’s no central figure, no divine ruler, just a community forging its own way.

So, was Satoshi an enlightened being, a collective of higher minds, or something more? We may never know the full truth while we’re here on this plane. Unless, of course, you're ready to tap into the Akashic Records and verify it for yourself. 🌟

After all, as Satoshi once said, "If you don’t understand it, I don’t have time to explain."

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." – Buddha

Buddha was onto something – but let’s be real, even he didn’t have to deal with central banks. Sure, living in the present brings peace, but the real trick is balancing mindfulness with the wisdom to prepare for the future. That’s where Bitcoin comes in. By stacking sats today, I’m dodging tomorrow’s inflation while staying zen in the now. 🧘‍♂️

But the real wealth? That’s found when we go within. Meditation keeps the mind sharp and the spirit aligned. It reminds us that true value isn’t just in our wallets but in the stillness we cultivate within. So, yeah, Bitcoin is cool – but don’t forget to sit, breathe, and connect to that inner space. Enlightenment isn’t just found in a blockchain. It’s also within.

#StackSats #Bitcoin #meditate

Right?! It’s wild—we’re out here spending time like it’s a currency, but plot twist: time doesn’t even exist the way we think it does. It’s a human-made thing! We’re basically chasing legacy and meaning in a world where past, present, and future are happening all at once. Mind blown yet?

And the funny thing is, we’re all acting way too seriously, like we’re in some big drama—when really, it’s just a play! We’re actors on a stage, and all these higher-dimensional beings are probably watching, eating popcorn, and wondering why we’re so stressed.

That’s why I vibe with Bitcoin—it’s like, 'Hey, I’m not playing the inflation game. 21 million, and that’s it.' We might not know our time balance, but at least with Bitcoin, we know exactly what we’re working with. It’s like breaking free from the illusion of time… but for money.

Time: The Ultimate Illusion, and Why Bitcoin Doesn’t Care

Time—good ol’ linear time. It’s something we humans cooked up to make sense of life in this dense, slow-moving world. We act like it’s a straight line, ticking away moment by moment. But really, time isn’t what it seems. In higher dimensions, past, present, and future are all happening right now—yes, that’s right, right now. The whole “time is a straight line” thing is an illusion, something our busy brains need to cope.

Now, here's the fun part: even though Bitcoin lives in this world of timestamps (yeah, it plays the linear game), it doesn’t really care about time in the way fiat currencies do. Think about it—your dollar today isn’t worth the same as your dollar tomorrow. But one Bitcoin? It's still one Bitcoin, no matter how much time passes. It’s like Bitcoin is winking at us, saying, "Hey, I’m not playing that time-is-money game!"

Sure, the blockchain records when each transaction happens, but Bitcoin itself isn’t losing value as the years roll by. It’s not decaying like the old financial systems we’ve been trained to depend on. In a way, Bitcoin’s kinda like that higher-dimensional view of time—always there, always valuable, no matter what the calendar says. So, while our clocks keep ticking and the world keeps inflating, Bitcoin’s just sitting there, chillin’ in the timeless now, reminding us that value doesn’t have to fade with time.

#timeless #bitcoin

Hey @PeterMcCormack, congrats on launching Mr Obnoxious! Super cool to see you exploring topics beyond Bitcoin – UAPs, simulation theory, and consciousness are such great angles. Really enjoyed the first episode with Matthew Pines.

Since you're mixing it up, I’ve got a few guest ideas for you – all UK-based, so should be easy to get them into your London studio:

Daz Smith – expert in remote viewing and consciousness.

Guy Needler – dives into the multiverse and spiritual evolution.

Alexander Quinn – talks about ascension and starseeds, really interesting spiritual takes.

Looking forward to seeing where you take this next. Keep up the awesome work!

Big love 🤟

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." – Gandhi

Turns out, Gandhi was right – but he missed one tiny detail. If you really want to see change, you might want to convert it to sats first. Every time you HODL instead of spending, you're showing the world what real value looks like.

Sure, peace and love are important, but so is opting out of the never-ending fiat circus. So, be the change and hold the change. 🧘‍♂️
