There is no better feeling than seeing your brain connect the dots and, at some point, as if by magic, see the horizon more clearly.
Studying and reading can be terrible sometimes, but the reward is worth the effort.
Don't stop searching for the truth; your efforts will compound
Gandalf didn't become the greatest wizard by drinking wine at the inn.
In this way, you can only hope to become a hobbit with liver disease.
He fought alone, day and night, in the depths of Moria against his demon,
and he won.

Carbs are useless biological information.
News is useless cognitive information.
Fiat currency is useless financial information.
Useless information is abundant but consumes time, which is a scarce resource, and brings entropy, a harmful enemy of humanity.
Evolution is an act of insurrection.
Speaking of rogue money, this quote from the show Andor is pretty awesome. I was reminded of it yesterday.
"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this: Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrections are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this: The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this: Try."

#market #society #volga
It is all about exciting the masses, taking fees, and taxing capital gains. Unfortunately, people are influenced by the price and tend to rationalize everything the market does.
There is no such thing as an efficient market; it's just a myth created to guarantee job placements and delude people into the idea that with some mathematical equations, you can manage the "risk," which is like "love" and other words or semantics we use to manipulate each other. Sugar, caffeine, tons of carbs, and some Sophists, and the Volga does whatever it is instructed to do.
Bitcoin ETFs will bring the liquidity required by wealthy and tech-savvy individuals to escape the fiscal trap.
The plebs will purchase assets managed by banks, which will manipulate the prices, exciting the masses and pocketing the fees.
On the other side, the Godlike kings will continue to tax the harvest of the Volga as usual, selling them the dream of protection and social welfare, much as the priest sells a piece of Paradise or pensions fund.
History just rhymes.

What I have realized from observing people debate on hot topics like #Bitcoin.
You are wasting your time. There is an infinite amount of knowledge to acquire on this matter to gain a better perspective. You would be better served studying them instead of leading a crusade for one religion or another. Most people are just stuck repeating the same arguments, debating them over and over again. If you can have an internal battle between two atheists, presenting two different stances, it would be better for you. Most people are like warriors on a battlefield, incited by some priesthood. Thankfully, today we have the market which, over the long term, empowers individuals who want to do their homework. Others just seek the excitement of their senses, battling on a forum or day trading on an exchange. Most of them are going to lose money or receive subpar returns, but it is not important as long as their senses are satisfied.

Bitcoin has no board of directors where you can place your pawns. It represents the conversion of energy into a global asset. Whoever owns the key still possesses it, along with the opportunity to move their wealth wherever it is accepted in the world, and under the best conditions. ETFs merely provide a foundation for the wealth of sovereign individuals.
It will bring the liquidity required by wealthy and tech-savvy individuals to escape the fiscal trap.
The Volga will purchase the assets managed by banks that will manipulate the price, and on the other side, the God-Kings will continue to tax the harvest of the middle class as usual, selling them the dream of protection and social welfare, the counterpart of the Christian Paradise.
History just rhymes.

Quoting balaji last newsletter.
"Let that sink in! This is what the US establishment truly fears: not Bitcoin as "fraud", but Bitcoin as freedom. They want to rule not just you but the world, so they're scared of the prospect of "a global free-for-all..beyond the reach of US regulation". And they know that any spot ETF will bid up the price of self-custodied Bitcoin outside their control, as Satoshi intended.
So: since FDR's seizure of gold, our lives have revolved around the centralized state rather than the decentralized market. The state has had control for so long we've forgotten what freedom is like. But now gold is slipping out of their hands, and back into yours.
And history is running in reverse."

Nicholas V
"The influence of the holy see pervaded Christendom; and he exerted that influence in the search, not of benefices, but of books. From the ruins of the Byzantine libraries, from the darkest monasteries of Germany and Britain,
he collected the dusty manuscripts of the writers of antiquity; and wherever the original could not be removed, a faithful copy was transcribed and transmitted for his use.
The Vatican, the old repository for bulls and legends, for superstition and forgery, was daily replenished with more precious furniture; and such was the industry of Nicholas, that in a reign of eight years he formed a library of five thousand volumes."

"As if by magic, the Bitcoin protocol turns adversarial physical power competition into a single, cohesive, infinitely prosperous organism chasing after the same mutually beneficial end goal of improving security and preserving freedom of information exchange across cyberspace"

Price predictions allure the religious.
They're essential for spreading noise; the truth is hidden, discernible only to the wise.
The wise learn, stay patient, and sift through the short-term excitement.

Excited by news, love, and market vagaries,
illusions for the agrarian Volga and reality for the aristocrats.
