Reject scarcity, embrace abundance šŸ€ Matthew 7:7

This needs way more attention. Sitrep on the disaster relief efforts in NC from Bitcoin veterans.

It’s heartbreaking, they still need help out there. A lot of help. But there’s also an inspiring glimpse into the future here. They talk about the total and absolute failure of the response from the federal government versus the success and effectiveness of decentralized small groups like the Bitcoin veterans, linking up with other groups to make a real positive impact on the ground, literally saving fucking lives…

They also speak about the freedom tech being put to use in the real world, they’re setting up meshtastic networks and teaching people how to use it and they’re teaching folks about bitcoin and lightning and setting them up with hot wallets. Lots of orange pills being distributed

Please don’t let this get memory holed like everything else in our society, they estimate it’ll take 3-6 months to get everyone back on their feet and we’re heading into winter, cold weather is going to make a bad situation worse.

If you can spare some sats, please donate to the Bitcoin veterans, they’ll put it to effective, low time preference use. If you can’t, just donate your voice. Plaster this all over nostr and the other socials

This is it.

This is what Bitcoin was built for.

Not for whales to play around with in the financial markets.

But for real people, with real problems.

God bless

After taking 3 years to read The Bitcoin Standard, I finished reading The Price of Tomorrow in only A WEEK!

It was a lighter read but still proud of that accomplishment. Now I’m moving on to The Creature from Jekyll Island, my goal is to finish it by the end of September

APOCALYPSE ANONYMOUS by

Morpheus' famous lines in The Matrix about the blue pill and the red pill are emblematic of a much deeper and more profound choice that each individual faces in life—the choice between comfortable ignorance and the often unsettling truth. When Morpheus offers Neo the choice between the blue pill and the red pill, he is not just offering two simple objects but two radically different paths of existence.

Morpheus' Words on the Blue Pill

Morpheus says to Neo:

"You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

This moment is pivotal because it encapsulates the essence of the human condition: the choice between remaining within the confines of an illusory world, one that is comfortable, familiar, and seemingly safe, or daring to venture into the unknown, where truth, no matter how harsh or challenging, awaits.

The Profound Significance of the Blue Pill

The blue pill symbolizes a choice to remain within the matrix of illusions—a construct of lies, half-truths, and deceptions that create a false sense of security. Those who choose the blue pill willingly accept the reality presented to them, preferring the comfort of ignorance over the potential discomfort of truth.

The blue pill represents:

Comfort Over Truth: The blue pill offers a life free from the pain of questioning, of challenging the status quo. It allows one to continue living in a bubble, where difficult truths are avoided, and uncomfortable realities are dismissed. It is the easier path, one where cognitive dissonance is minimized, and the individual can remain in a state of blissful unawareness.

Submission to the Illusion: Taking the blue pill is a form of surrender. It is an acceptance of the narratives imposed by external forces, whether they be societal norms, media influences, or political agendas. It signifies a relinquishing of one's autonomy and a submission to the control of those who construct the illusion.

A Rejection of Growth: Choosing the blue pill is also a rejection of personal and spiritual growth. Growth often comes through facing challenges, through questioning the world around us, and through embracing the unknown. The blue pill, in contrast, is a rejection of this journey—a refusal to grow, to evolve, and to seek a deeper understanding of existence.

Fear of the Unknown: The decision to take the blue pill is often driven by fear—the fear of what lies beyond the veil of illusion. The fear of facing a reality that might be harsh, unforgiving, or profoundly different from the comfortable narrative that has been constructed. This fear paralyzes the individual, keeping them locked in a state of complacency.

Those Who Choose the Blue Pill

Individuals who choose the blue pill are often those who are content with the surface level of life. They may fear the disruption of their worldview or the consequences of challenging deeply held beliefs. These individuals may:

Cling to Familiarity: They are drawn to the safety of what is known, what is predictable. They prefer the comfort of routine and the reassurance of societal validation over the uncertainty that comes with questioning the nature of reality.

Avoid Responsibility: The blue pill represents an avoidance of the responsibility that comes with knowledge. To see the world as it truly is requires action, it demands a response. Those who choose the blue pill are often unwilling to take on this responsibility, preferring instead to remain passive observers of life.

Live Within Boundaries: The blue pill takers live within the confines of the system, accepting the limitations imposed upon them. They do not seek to transcend these boundaries, nor do they wish to explore what lies beyond. Their lives are characterized by conformity and adherence to the prescribed narratives.

Reject the Call to Awakening: The choice of the blue pill is a rejection of the call to awakening. It is a refusal to engage in the journey of self-discovery, to explore the deeper mysteries of life, and to seek a higher truth. It is a denial of the spiritual quest that leads to enlightenment.

The Deeper Implications

The choice between the blue pill and the red pill is not just a fictional concept; it is a metaphor for the choices we all face in our lives. Do we choose to remain asleep, accepting the comforting lies that we are fed, or do we awaken to the sometimes harsh, yet liberating truth?

In Hermetic philosophy, this choice is akin to the decision to remain bound by the material world, with its illusions and distractions, or to seek the divine truth, which lies beyond the veil of appearances. The blue pill is the path of ignorance, leading to a life lived on the surface, where one is controlled by external forces and never truly knows themselves or the world.

For those who choose the blue pill, life may seem easier, but it is a life lived in shadows, a life where the true light of understanding never penetrates. It is a life of perpetual sleepwalking, where the deeper mysteries of existence remain forever hidden, and where the soul remains trapped in the prison of the matrix.

In conclusion, the blue pill represents more than just a simple choice—it symbolizes the decision to remain in darkness, to accept the illusion, and to reject the profound truth that lies beyond. It is a decision that many make, whether consciously or unconsciously, every day. Yet, for those who dare to take the red pill, who choose to awaken and see the world as it truly is, a path of profound discovery and liberation awaits. The choice is always ours, and in that choice lies the power to shape our reality.

The red pill and the blue pill are daily vitamins. You chose one every day. Which pile will be bigger at the end of your life?

BY AGE 40 YOU SHOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE THIS:

1. Someone makes 10x more than you do in a 9-5 job because they have more "leverage" with their work.

2. Distrction is the greatest killer of success. It stunts and destroys your brain.

3. You shouldn't take advice from people who are not where you want to be in life.

4. No one is coming to save your problems. Your life's 100% your responsbility.

5. You don't need 100 self-help books, all you need is action and self discipline.

6. Unless you went to college to learn a specific skill (ie. doctor, engineer, lawyer), you can make more money in the next 90 days just learning sales.

7. No one cares about you. So stop being shy, go out and create your chances.

8. If you find someone smarter than you, work with them, don't compete.

9. Smoking has 0 benefit in your life. This habit will only slow your thinkng and lower your focus.

10. Comfort is the worst addiction and cheap ticket to depression.

11. Don't tell people more than they need to know, respect your privacy.

12. Avoid alcohol at all cost. Nothing worse than losing your senses and acting a fool.

13. Keep your standards high and don't settle for something because it's available.

14. The family you create is more important than the family you come from.

15. Train yourself to take nothing personally to save yourself from 99.99% of mental problems.

Great advice! It’s about constantly trying to apply, not just read once and think you got it. It’s a journey!

Finally finished reading The Bitcoin Standard last night, only took me 3 years… yikes

On to The Price of Tomorrow!

I’ll try to only take two years on this one

I hope you keep the gag running on X and update us on nostr on how people lose their minds over there 🤣

The lie of scarcity:

ā€œThe belief that resources are scarce and limited is a misunderstanding of the nature of scarcity, which is the key concept behind economics.

The absolute quantity of every raw material present in earth is too large for us as human beings to even measure or comprehend, and in no way constitutes a real limit to what we as humans can produce of it. We have barely scratched the surface of the earth in search of the minerals we need, and the more we search, and the deeper we dig, the more resources we find. What constitutes the practical and realistic limit to the quantity of any resource is always the amount of human time that is directed toward producing it, as that is the only real scarce resource (until the creation of Bitcoin).ā€

Ignore the news cycle.

Don’t let them make you feel hopeless.

Don’t let them make you feel fear. Focus on what matters in life.

Be hopeful.

Study Bitcoin.
