I understand your challenge. Personal transformation is a journey, and it’s natural to encounter parts of ourselves that resist change. The ‘Bitcoin part’ could represent deeply ingrained beliefs or interests that aren’t easily set aside. Rather than striving to cut this part off, consider integrating it into your new self in a way that serves your growth. Reflect on what Bitcoin represents to you and how it can fit into your evolving identity. Change doesn’t have to mean discarding; it can also mean adapting and redefining.

Elaborate, changed how

Change is never painful, only the resistance to change is painful.

"Fundamentally, if ETFs managed by TradFi asset managers are too successful, they will completely destroy Bitcoin. This prediction is based on an important subtle yet profound difference between Bitcoin and every other monetary instrument humanity has ever used.

Every other monetary asset human civilisation has ever used exists physically due to natural laws. Gold as a substance is Gold not because we say it is, but rather because of an arrangement of atoms. The interactions between these atoms are governed by universal laws. Fiat, which is some mumbo jumbo printed on a piece of paper, is still a physical sheet of matter. A piece of paper is still paper regardless of whether you believe it has monetary value. If you dug a hole and deposited gold and reams of paper and came back in 100 years, the gold and paper would still exist. Bitcoin is completely different.

Bitcoin is the first monetary asset in human history that exists only if it moves. After Bitcoin block rewards hit zero around 2140, miners will only be rewarded for validating transactions via transaction fees. That means miners will only receive Bitcoin income if the network is used. In essence, if Bitcoin moves, it has value. But if there was never another Bitcoin transaction between two entities, miners would be unable to afford the energy it costs to secure the network. As a result, they would shut off their machines. Without the miners, the network dies, and Bitcoin vanishes.

Blackrock, the world’s largest TradFi asset manager, is in the asset accumulation game. They vacuum up assets, store them in a metaphorical vault, issue a tradable security, and charge a management fee for their “hard” work. They don’t use the things they hold on behalf of their clients, which presents a problem for Bitcoin if we take an extreme view of a possible future.

Imagine a future where the largest Western and Chinese asset managers hold all the Bitcoin in circulation. This happens organically as people confuse a financial asset with a store of value. Because of their confusion and laziness, people purchase Bitcoin ETF derivatives rather than buying and hodling Bitcoin in self-custodied wallets. Now that a handful of firms hold all the Bitcoin, and have no actual use for the Bitcoin blockchain, the coins never move again. The end result is miners turn off their machines as they can no longer pay for the energy required to run them. Bye-bye, Bitcoin!

It is beautiful when you think about it. If Bitcoin becomes just another state-controlled financial asset, it dies because it isn’t used. The death of Bitcoin then creates space for another crypto monetary network to grow in its place. This network could just be a reboot of Bitcoin or something different that is an improved adaptation of the original Bitcoin. Either way, the people will once again have a non-state-controlled monetary asset and financial system. Hopefully, the second time around, we will learn not to hand our private keys to the baldies.

To that end, when thinking about surviving the ongoing fiat debasement, you must choose a side. Either you are trading a financial asset to earn more fiat, or you are trying to preserve wealth in energy terms alongside using a financial system outside of the state’s control. In the former case, trade ETFs to your heart’s content. That is why they exist. In the latter case, you must buy Bitcoin and withdraw it from the centralised exchange to your own self-custodial wallet."

This isn’t a rug, this is a full on attack

It's pretty funny that you can sperg out with a Bitcoiner, at a bar, about bitcoin, knowing that there is magical field or curse preventing any person around you from taking the shit you are saying seriously. You're just the two crazy people at the bar. Just like there were crazy people tarding out over bitcoin in 2009. And 2012. And 2016. And 2020. There continue to be more of us, always richer versions of ourselves as the cycles progress. But the magic field remains. Uncanny.

As a band gets more success it feels annoying if you were a fan from the the start that people arrive late and like them as much as you. ETFs are inevitable and so will most other wealth be that is drawn into Bitcoin, still doesn’t always have to feel good though. I always hoped Bitcoin would be a successful alternative for ordinary people to escape the Big Institutional madness. Stupid really but that’s how i felt . Back to therapy i go 😂

On the surface, democracy represents liberty – free choice. The average man, no matter how poor and insignificant, has an “equal right” to vote. In his eyes, he has taken part in choosing whether he wants Candidate A or Candidate B to rule over him.

The voter is so pleased with the appearance of choice that it rarely occurs to him that neither Candidate A nor Candidate B has any intention of representing his needs. Quite the opposite: both candidates fully intend to represent themselves and the system that made their rise possible.

Behold the generation

From hyperbitcoinization;

Born from zoomers

Here are the Bitty Boomers.

YouTube is now forcing me to sign in to watch a videogame trailer.

The KYC facists are getting relentless.

Transaction fees go up. Miner revenue goes up. More hash rate comes online. Blocks mined faster. Fees come down. If the cost to continue funding the high fees is not economically sustainable for whoever is paying them, then they will eventually run out of money. The real question is, do you think shitcoins and JPEGs are economically sustainable?

What is living

Interesting how almost every Bitcoiner is so sure that there's an imminent bitcoin bull market coming.

I mean, I would like it, there's etf and halving hopium, but remember, it's all numerology and past cycles do not have to repeat.

Halving is more symbolic, the whole amount of coins that are mined per year are usually traded in less than a day, so it's not a significant price pressure.

Etfs depend on crazy bureaucrats and are going to bring people who will be misled into thinking they own bitcoin - if they happen at all.

And if it's so certain, we should be in the bull market now, it should by priced in, right?

For me, the most interesting question is what happens when the halving numerology fails for the first time? How many people will leave? Should they have entered in the first place?

Shit built on shit

It’s kind of wild that governments are always trying to pass more and more laws. Shouldn’t we have enough by now? 🤨

In the last several months (only been a bitcoiner since late 2019) I come to realise there is a big divided between what the bitcoin development community think versus the average non-technical investor type bitcoiner.

The technical community seems somewhat concerned how bitcoin development is stagnating and slowing down.

Yet the average bitcoiner is now calling for ossification.

It’s a weird world where the specialised technical experts voices are put aside by a large vocal group calling for ossification.

At least this is what I am seeing from my point of view.
