Thankful for Satoshi’s gift.

“There was a very interesting dinner party once where a Zen master was present and there was a geisha girl who served so beautifully and had such style that he suspected she must have some Zen training. And after a while, when she paused to fill his sake cup, he bowed to her and said,’ I’d like to give you a present.’ And she said, ‘I would be most honored.’ And he took the iron chopsticks that are used for the hibachi, the charcoal brazier, moving the charcoal around, he picked up a piece of red hot charcoal and gave it to her. Well, she instantly, she had very long sleeves on her kimono. She whirled the sleeves around her hands and took the hot charcoal, withdrew to the kitchen, dumped it, and changed her kimono because it was burnt through. Then she came back into the room and after a suitable interval she stopped before the Zen master and bowed to him and said, ‘I would like to give you, sir, a present.’ And he said, ‘I would be very much honored.’ Of course, he was wearing a kimono, something like this. And so she picked up a piece of coal and said, I’d offered it to him. He immediately produced a cigarette and said, ‘Thank you, that’s just what I needed.’” — Alan Watts, The World as Just So

#Bitcoin bridges two worlds.

All #Bitcoin needs to do to win is keep doing what it’s been doing for 17 years. Fiat, meanwhile, needs to escape exponentially increasing debt while preventing everyone from opting out. I like those odds.

Reminder: If you don’t hold the keys to your Bitcoin, it’s not your Bitcoin.

Thank you, Bitcoin CEO

The battle brewing between MSTR and JPM feels like GameStop 2.0. The difference is Bitcoin can’t be stopped.

Have a blessed Sunday.

When Bitcoin dips

Those who fail to humble themselves before Bitcoin are humbled by Bitcoin.

To take on debt or leverage to buy Bitcoin is to deviate from The Way.

If you have the same or more Bitcoin today than yesterday, you are on The Way.

Fiat is infinite. Bitcoin is finite.

Imagine being bearish on Bitcoin rn.

Generational stacking opportunity.

"If you want to know what Buddhists really teach on this matter, put in a very simple way, you get a book by Alexandra David-Neel called, 'The Secret Oral Teachings.' [...] I call it the 'I told you so' book because I've often been accused of inventing my own unique brand of Buddhism and foisting it off on the public as being the real thing. I just have to point them to this book and say, 'You see?'" — Alan Watts, The Power of Space

In Bitcoin, one should be prepared for an 80% dip and an 800% God candle.

“Thus to the question, ‘How shall I escape from the Wheel of Birth and Death?’ a master replied, ‘Who puts you under restraint?’” — Alan Watts, The Spirit of Zen

Bear markets will always exist in Bitcoin. But they’ll get shorter as we approach the end-of-fiat singularity.
