Price is irrelevant.

Bitcoin doesn’t make big moves.

It’s been perfect since 2009.

Choose freedom and self-sovereignty over silly dreams of fiat wealth.

No.

People who want ETFs are interested in building fiat wealth and are greedy fools.

ETFs are antithetical to #bitcoin’s self-custody ethos.

It’s fine if people want this (fools will exist after all), but they are clearly forgetting that Bitcoin works fine as it is and has done so beautifully since 2009.

I find it interesting that people simply dismiss the existential dread that creeps in around the age of 40 for many as just a silly “midlife crisis”.

I think we should pay more attention to the fact that, around the same age, many people finally get into a position where they have a little security and free time, often for the first time in their lives.

The “midlife crisis” that results is often the realization of how unbelievably fucked up our world is, and how much the system that defines it robs us of our liberty, productivity, youth, and joy.

The clever and singularly dismissive term “midlife crisis” is meant to diminish and ridicule those who remain in this state for too long. It’s a simple heuristic for those around the people in this state to remain blind and obedient to the system that enslaves them. It is also effective enough to make the person in “crisis” question themselves, and instead of getting angry at the system, they instead question themselves back into complacency.

Thinking for oneself is dangerous for our system after all. It must be avoided at all costs by keeping us distracted, depressed, fearful, and, most of all, productive for our masters (ideally) until we die.

There are many lies we are told to this end. That cheap products and experiences will enrich our lives, that religion and politics are important life choices, that we can’t be self sufficient, that our jobs should define us, that the longest life is the best one, that Fiat wealth is worth pursuing, and that bringing children into the world will provide us with some great purpose and happiness.

What simple but incredibly effective traps these are too. After all, it takes most of us about 40 years or so on average to even begin to spot them.

Happy thinking everyone.

The book that accompanies me on my journey: „Discipline is destiny“ by @RyanHoliday. Live changing, full recommendation. The #Stoic way of living.

My favourite quotes (1|21) 👇

(1|21) “We must master ourselves unless we’d prefer to be mastered by someone or something else.”

(2|21) „Lead by example not by force.“

(3|21) „You have to do your best while you still have a chance. Life is short. You never know when the game, when your body will be taken away from you. Don’t waste it!“

(4|21) „Wake up. Show up. Be present. Give it everything you‘ve got.“

(5|21) „We are an apex predator, a freakishly elite product of millions of years of evolution. How will you choose to spend this bounty?“

(6|21) „Real wealth is autonomy. Stop being a slave (and start stacking #Bitcoin )

(7|21) „The less you desire, the richer you are, the freer you are, the more powerful you are.“

(8|21) „Greatness is in the details. Details require self-discipline. Safe yourself, save the world. Get the little things right.“

(9|21) „Early to bed. Early to rise.“

(10|21) „Refrain from expressing opinions about things we can’t control.“

(11|21) „A weak mind must the constantly entertained and stimulated. A strong mind occupies itself and, more important, be still and vigilant in moments that demand it.“

(12|21) „Think before you speak. The pause is everything.“

(13|21) „If you don’t know where you sailing, no wind is favourable.“

(14|21) „Say no. Own it. Be polite when you can, but own it. Because it’s your life. And because it’s your power. By seizing it you become powerful. No one can say yes to their destiny without saying no to what is clearly someone else’s.“

(15|21) „In a world of distraction, focusing is a superpower. Truly, fully commit.“

(16|21) „Transitions are as important as achievements.“

(17|21) „Stop procrastinating. Do it yourself or delegate. Do the hard things first.“

(18|21) „Seek yourself, not distraction. be happy, not hedonistic. Let the mind rule, not the body.“

(19|21) „Listen more, talk less. You have two ears and one mouth for a reason.“

(20|21) „All you really need is enough money to be comfortable enough to politely say: No, thanks. To never have to do anything for a buck that’s contrary to your values. To be able to stick with your main thing.“

(21|21) „How much progress could you make if you made just a little each day over the course of an entire life?“

7/21.

That’s the ticket right there.

You have a choice to care about what other people think, or just go about your day.

I suggest you always consider the opinions of those who disagree with you, but beyond that you have no obligation to change your mind, and neither do they.

If you are fluid in your own thinking as opposed to rigid, you won’t be so bothered when you encounter rigid thinking in others. You’ll just move on.

Ah Friday.

Time to move the daily DCAs for the week to cold storage.

Feels good, every time.

Nice. :)

Been reading through some of your other posts by the way.

I appreciate your capacity to think for yourself and need to question some the stuff most just take for granted.

PLUS - We don’t agree on everything which makes it WAY more interesting.

You also have some cool as shit hobbies that I may have to check out for myself.

Long story short, well met fellow traveler.

I will also try your hot sauce. :)
