You’re absolutely right. It doesn’t even matter whether we call it happiness or curiosity. What really changed is the lightness we had as kids and lost that.

“Adult life” slowly takes that ease away — and that’s why we end up searching for it again, in different forms. Yes, I agree Bitcoin is a tool, resourse. But what is ammount of that resource we really need to be happy… In childhood we were excited about expensive toys, but we were just as excited about puddles on the road. And I feel that real happiness doesn’t depend on any of that. Thanks for your reply Yakiv.

Has Bitcoin made you happy?

Ok, I’m new here and have a #question 👇

Because no matter what people say, money doesn’t make us happy. It’s the lack of money that makes us more miserable.

So what about having Bitcoin? Is it just the same old money? Or is it something else – freedom, independence?

And if it is something else, then how much Bitcoin does it take to be happy? What number is enough?

But a number is just a number.

Why do you need Bitcoin in the first place? To exchange it for something from Maslow’s hierarchy, right?

So how many houses, cars, skydives, lovers, conversations with gurus, and “perfect life” podcasts does one need to finally be happy?

How many countries do you have to visit to feel fulfilled?

I’m asking because I honestly don’t know. Maybe someone out there knows the answer.

Maybe the answer is Bitcoin, and I just don’t know it.

There are so many theories about happiness, and none of them really work.

You either feel happy – with occasional sadness triggered by things you can’t control –

or you chase happiness endlessly, living in a fog of illusions.

I used to think that once I made it to Paris, I’d be happy.

Didn’t work.

I thought writing a book would definitely make me happy.

But no. (Honestly, someone should warn new writers that the euphoria wears off and then it only gets harder – responsibility, self-criticism, all of it.)

So here I am, 34 years into chasing a feeling of happiness that doesn’t depend on 99% of circumstances.

I’ve gotten so tangled in it that I’m not even sure whether my current life might already be that happiness I was chasing.

It kind of feels like it… but something always seems to be missing. Always. And I want just a bit more.

But more of what?

Bitcoin?

So back to the question: Has Bitcoin made you happy?

Looks like it’s supposed to be some kind of #introduction.

I have no idea what I’m doing here, but I definitely have an idea about what I’m doing in my life.

📚Creating meaningful stories about reality within another reality.

I’ll probably share a few with you once I figure out what I’m doing here.
