Sleep. Eat. Exercise.
Whenever things aren't going well for me, it's usually a deficiency in one of those.
I need to ween myself off the digital crack of convenience, and start drinking the green tea of online privacy.
The transition will be painful, but will save me from a catastrophic end.
I get the same boiling frustration when I try to really breakdown what inflation is and how it's time theft.
I then just see them look at me as if I'm this massive conspiracy theorist. 🤦🏻♂️
The things I'm most proud of have been the things I was terrified to do.
Buying #bitcoin was no exception.
Many times in 2022 I'd execute large Bitcoin buys really fast so the gut wrenching resistance didn't win over and stop me doing it.
Without #bitcoin I'd be feeling pretty insecure about me and my family' future right now
Not having a family does not age well.
If you want increased wealth to buy nice THINGS and impress OTHERS, you'll be disappointed when you achieve it.
If you want increased wealth to buy EXPERIENCES and CONVENIENCE, you'll be satisfied when you achieve it.
If you want to expose the wild shortcuts your brain makes to fool you into thinking you properly understand a concept, get yourself an inquisitive 3yo child.
This week, I've realised I'm really quite dumb, and don't understand much about the World.
Had a sauna with another Bitcoiner last night.
He told me he's made $500k from $22k in just 2 weeks on a shit coin called TITS.
I started getting a bit of FOMO until I had a cold plunge and realised emotional trading will fuck me.
The only rational course of action is #Bitcoin only.
when I see the #bitcoin price run like this, I don't feel anything.
it's like I've already played this out (and more) in my head and I'm just waiting for reality to catch up.
Message to myself (and others):
The level of contrarianism, conviction and comprehension you had to make your wealth in #bitcoin will be completely overlooked by your friends and family.
You will be known as lucky - no different from a gambler who put everything on black at the roulette table and won.
You need to be able to deal with that.
my favourite quote of the moment::
"if it's endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining"
Marcus Aurelius
luke warm take.
therapy was one of the best things I've ever done.
then so again was going doing things.
Yep. You sir are a victim of BEF
Bitcoin Evangelism Fatigue.
yeah it's definitely up there with watching bitcoin scream past $70k
thanks man 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Jesus, where's this quote been all my life? 👌🏻
I've been on the fence with one of these for a while.
I wouldn't say I was a 'hot sleeper', but am really intrigued by their 'it gives you an hour's more sleep a night's claim.
I do have a 3yo and a 8mo keeping me awake at night so maybe it'd just be rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.
