Losing half your stack can be approximately remedied by waiting a while for another +50% purchasing power increase

Bitcoin will induce enormous regret in millions of people, but it will also induce it's opposite, contentment, if they're capable of proper reflection and integration of these concepts

Bitcoin will restore European Tradition

I am not talking about "traditionalism", mere habits or rituals, but Tradition as organic Nature

From the individual, to city states, Bitcoin's proof of work mining and immutability anchor into reality that emergent table of values native to the European type

I see the future of the world as a kind of decentralised pagan imperialism

Let ten thousand Caesars bloom

A fixed set of rules will be gamed

Even rabbits and other prey animals dart left and right in a pattern approaching randomness when escaping. Nature knows.

Deep ketosis probably has something to do with it as well. Human babies are the fattest land animal, even more so that baby seals. That same brain we use to hunt is made of fat, ketones, cholesterol. In northern climates the only food source in winter is large fatty mammals, megafauna, with a much higher percentage of body fat than smaller mammals. You are warmer in ketosis, higher internal temperature, with higher heartbeat stroke volume. Like having an internal oil fire instead of internal plant-kindling fire.

I expect body hair loss was influenced by sexual selection, which can be a rational or irrational, an aesthetic or utilitarian, feedback loop. I like to think a newly unlocked higher value set led us to grasp toward something more aesthetic. Probably a meta-mix of reasons.

I always found this interesting about Bitcoiner personality traits, and thus the characteristics of the future elite who will shape their local kingdoms in their image

Life ascends upward when taut, like a rope

This book really made me think about the concept of capital in different forms.

Health and vitality is biological capital, which can't be taxed, benefits the individual, and it has this huge and foundational meta-value that benefits every aspect of your life.

Me and my wife started the Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet for a year before pregnancy, and aim to be the pivot where we reverse the biological capital strip mining of our bloodline and begin accumating capital once again. The Sun will rise again.

Don't you think Bitcoin is a manifestation of Pagan nature?

Isn't reality/Nature/the Tao, whatever you want to call it, powerful enough and already containing all possibilities/miracles that you don't need to add extra socially binding stories?

The vigour of nature found an eruption in giving us bitcoin didn't it?

Don't all groups congregate and bind around an irrational lie, because only lies serve as an in-group signal? Decentralised truth is rational, and you would do it anyway, ergo it serves no purpose as an in-group signal. The bigger the group the bigger the lies.

Going all in on Bitcoin was the most important decision of my life. Not for the money it would become, nor for the purpose and meaning that it would deliver to me, but because it was a decision that was truly mine.

The whole world and everyone in it has ideas of who you are suppose to be, and most of the time we conform with that in some way or another. While I did not know it at the time, I knew in my heart of hearts that Bitcoin not only had a chance to save me from a life of mind-numbing pointless work, and nihilistic existence; but more than that, it allowed for me to believe in what I saw for myself, and my own understand of it before what everyone else was telling me. It let me stand up for myself against a world that just wanted to use me and keep me in the suppressed, small role it had relegated to me. Bitcoin allowed for me to decide something else against this system that could not see the light and love that I really am.

This decision came from my own strong conviction within myself that I knew from the deepest levels within me. Even though it seemed crazy, irrational, and like it wouldn’t work to everyone else; just like most major decisions that can change your life for the better, I knew it was what I had to do for myself. There are no other people who can make these kind of decisions for you, and that is why they are them in their lives and you are you in your life. Only you can make the decision for yourself about how your life is going to be, where you are going to put your energy and how you are going to save yourself against a world that wants to exploit you like a machine, and give you worthless paper in exchange for it. You can choose something else now, but that decision is on you alone.

While I cannot promise that you’ll get rich from Bitcoin, or even that it will be a profitable decision with your timing of the markets, you will learn to have a new kind of conviction and faith in yourself which is a kind of wealth in its own right. You will learn that you can decide to take a risk on your own thoughts and decisions, and that is worth something in and of itself.

Just some food for thought going into 2025.

Bitcoin is that vanguard, or beachhead, into truth that is strong enough to break through. In other areas of life the lies of the groups push you back away from Nature and wear you down. Bitcoin's winning and increasing power acts as both a sword and shield to hold onto and keeps your psychic Will replenished. It's the easiest portal to go through toward alignment with Nature (walking with the gods).

It transformed so much for me. The Sun is rising.
