The journey down the rabbit hole to understand Bitcoin creates a cognitive dissonance in our minds where our former beliefs are challenged and disrupted.

A mental discomfort is created by trying to hold onto contradictory beliefs - (ie - Free market is deflationary + inflation is required to allow society to function) and then trying to rationalize previous beliefs.

That’s why it’s so hard for “experts” or those successful in the old system to see it.

But it’s not negotiating with them - it is imposing reality on them.

Enjoy the ride my friends.

Repetition of your wisdom is key, Jeff! Thanks for another bedrock statement… as hard as Bitcoin itself🙏💪

Tell me the story of your bitcoin journey in 5 lines or less.

Best story wins 100k sats.

So here’s the deal: I knew about Bitcoin way back—Pizza Day, remember? But did I buy? No, I was losing thousands on poker instead. Fast forward to COVID, I’m stuck in hotels, eating pizza, watching Saylor and Breedlove talk Bitcoin like it’s the cure for everything. Now? I’m stacking sats like it’s a survival kit, figuring out how to change the world. But let’s be real—I’m still ordering pizza.

The professional side of me is fully focused on finance. It’s tiring, but I’m there every day.

The Nostr Lyn side of me keeps broadening her timeframe and keeps getting pulled to write a science fiction or fantasy novel, at this point, with all sorts of character arcs and cultural symbolism tied in. Which is almost too long of a time preference.

I wonder if a side hobby is what is needed to keep me focused on my main work. I used to have hobbies years ago, but the extreme environment of 2020-2022 kind of killed them as things went crazy and I did nothing but work. During 2023 and 2024 I explored if I should have hobbies again, but I kept focused on work, and here now I’ve determined that I should explore more.

I boosted my exercise, traveled the world, and re-explored video games. But the video games didn’t stick. Re-exploring my older writing is sticking.

Lately I’ve been trying to explore hobbies, to replicate a normal human. And writing weird sci fi or fantasy is what keeps me engaged.

Lyn, great hobby and yes you should persevere in writing the book.

Since we live in an abundant world, we can focus our time and energy on all we really love to do.

Looking forward to read your book!

Gr Martin

It’s a beautiful day to be alive.

Are those Sats stacking up to the sky?💪

nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe, getting deeper in the rabbit hole, one question keeps coming back: how will the concept of “ownerhip” change when eventually we live in a world of abundance? Will the need to “own” disappear when everything is available with a click of a button, prompting some AI-robot or perhaps just thinking..

A small number of people interacting, learning from each other, and moving their energy to something better always proceeds a large number of people doing the same.

It’s something you’ll look back upon one day with genuine fondness for those times and people who made this time so special….so remember to celebrate it today.

It’s what you say all the time: Bitcoin imposes its energy on all of us, no matter how deep you’re stuck in the Matrix..

peter schiff wants to debate me on Bitcoin vs Gold. thought he’d never ask.

we were born for these moments, nostr.

holding nothing back. taking no prisoners. let’s fucking go.

Hi Jack, who would have thought that would ever happen👍. On other hand, Bitcoin is like gravity of the black hole kind. It will connect everything together, no matter how the polarity of things..

Enjoying a beautiful sunny day by the pool with some thought-provoking reading! 📚🌞 "The Price of Tomorrow" by Jeff Booth is an eye-opener on how deflation can lead us to a more abundant future. Loving the insights and ideas in this book while relaxing at this amazing resort. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in the future of technology and economics!

As you fall down the rabbit hole, you come to understand that #Bitcoin is connected to almost everything because our actions are emergent from the system we live in and measure from.

Which is paradoxically why it is so hard for you to understand points of view from people outside of it, or just starting their learning that perceive it as a narrow thing within their current world view.

My speech at #Bitcoin Atlantis was just released where I dive into this phenomena deeper and become emotional with what it means for all of us.

Jeff, that was a mindblowing speech. It touched me and took me a level deeper in the rabbit hole🙏
