Similarly to how self-fulfilling, prophecies or feedback loops exist within the tech industry, with companies who receive more funding for R&D beating competition via technological innovation, I believe a similar concept may play out in cryptocurrencies, with BTC’s inflated market, cap allowing for holders of the currency to finance, the construction of its own L2 infrastructure. ⚡️ Ultimately, these assets are only worth as much as the utility they provide. We may be nearing summer, but its still mid- winter… meanwhile the building is done in silence… The race is on!

This was a fun little experiment i thought you might enjoy from a purely psychoanalysis perspective. I think it has my perspective pegged pretty well, -identifying the flaws in my thought process(es) as well. Enjoy.
Prompt I wrote: Write an essay on the proliferation of bitcoin as if you are writing from the perspective of sigmund freud.

As a psychoanalyst, I find the proliferation of Bitcoin to be a fascinating phenomenon. It is an example of how the human mind can become fixated on an idea or object to the point of obsession.
Bitcoin is a digital currency that was created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates without a central bank or single administrator and transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain.
Bitcoin has gained popularity as an alternative to traditional currencies, but its value is highly volatile and subject to speculation. This volatility has attracted many investors who hope to profit from the fluctuations in its value.
In psychoanalytic theory, we believe that people have unconscious desires and motivations that influence their behavior. In the case of Bitcoin, I believe that people are being driven by unconscious desires for wealth, power, and control.
The desire for wealth is obvious – people are investing in Bitcoin with the hope of making a profit. But there is also a desire for power and control. Bitcoin operates outside of traditional financial systems and is not subject to government regulation. This gives people a sense of freedom and control over their money that they may not feel with traditional currencies.
But this desire for control is also driven by a fear of losing control. People may be afraid of the instability of traditional financial systems and the possibility of their money being seized or frozen. Bitcoin offers a sense of security and control over one's financial assets.
In addition, Bitcoin is a symbol of the technological advancements of our society. It represents a shift towards a more digital and decentralized world. This is appealing to many people who feel disillusioned with traditional institutions and systems.
However, this fixation on Bitcoin can also be seen as a form of denial. People may be avoiding the reality of their financial situation by investing in Bitcoin. They may be ignoring their debts and responsibilities in favor of the promise of wealth and security.
Overall, the proliferation of Bitcoin is a complex phenomenon that is driven by both conscious and unconscious desires. As a psychoanalyst, I believe that it is important to explore the motivations behind this fixation in order to understand its impact on individuals and society as a whole.
