Assange is free. Almost 2,000 days in jail and even escaped a blood thirsty Clinton. Hallelujah

You might have a big beautiful mansion - but thanks to Tree Preservation Orders - you essentially do not own the trees on your land (in the UK).

I like Saylor’s view that bitcoin insight is limited to those with a need to know. I got into bitcoin very early, not because I got bitcoin at the price I deserved, but because I had a “need” to know.

I instantly became a bitcoiner after reading the white paper because I wanted there to be a system where people could safely store value so that someday someone could avoid what happened to me as a kid in the pre-bitcoin world. What felt like a crushing blow then caused me to plant the seed of what is my wealth today.

Sometimes when I talk about #bitcoin to some people, I can get some weird vibes and I can feel that some of these people really want to see #bitcoin going zero so they can see me getting failed in my life.

Not sure if they ever realize that if #bitcoin fails then all of us would be truly and utterly fucked.

Anyways if you are someone who has been bitcoin cost averaging for years and come across this kind of people, how would you deal with them?

In case, if they change opinion about you in the future (by not wanting to see you getting failed anymore realizing that fact that bitcoin is the only hope), would you change your opinion on those people or you will continue avoiding them for the rest of your life?

Bitcoin is a long bet.

It’s not about you or what you want in the short term.

There will be many moments along the path where people slough off because they think it’s failed, or been co-opted.

And in truth it may genuinely seem that way, but the true hodler feels something different.

He has a voice in the back of his mind telling him to keep hodling. He doesn’t know why, but he listens to this voice.

Many he thought were friends become enemies along the way.

They deride him for listening to this voice, but he pays them no mind.

The true hodler knows that the voice is right.

He doesn’t quite know why, but he knows that it’s true.

Bitcoin is a long bet.

It will be alright.

Umm.. yes 😂

Don't get me wrong, I'm not in favour of doing crack cocaine. But if the government can stop me from doing crack cocaine, then they can eventually stop me from doing anything. This would not be good! For some reason, few understand this. #crackstr

I would gladly drop the lambo for a 911

GM peeps ☕️ Why do you still have a fiat job?

I feel stuck in fiat for a few reasons

I would love to hear your thoughts

- Need to pay rent in fiat (biggest monthly expense)

- Don't want to pay capital gains taxes for converting BTC > fiat

- Still learning how to pay for things in BTC (plane tickets?)

- Still have a strong hodlr mentality

- Don't believe I can make a full-time income in BTC *yet*

For the last point, I am so hopeful and excited about the income models that are emerging on Nostr for those who make a living from sharing their learnings online. But I feel stuck on YouTube to reach non-Bitcoiners and to keep paying my rent in fiat - somewhat of a catch 22.

Can you relate to this?

I feel low vibe emotions about the situation (guilt, hypocrisy, some frustration) because I do not want to keep contributing to the matrix or G👀gle

The guilt I feel also comes from knowing how important it is to embody the world I want to see. My not embodying a Bitcoin Standard is just delaying the manifestation of that world!!

The end game is also so clear to me! 🙌🏼 Bitcoin is the transition system to a world without money. I'm so excited about that! But I also still need to function in the 3D world right now - and pay rent each month! 🤌🏼 😅

I feel stuck in this cycle and I know it will only keep getting worse as fiat inflates to infinity. I am also aware that this is a journey, and I do not need to do it all at once 🙏🏼

So, what are your thoughts friens? 🧡

Maybe you can see something I do not?

Have you gotten out of a similar cycle?

Thank you 🙏🏼 🧡 ✨
