The more I understand #Bitcoin and the more I hold it, the less sense my “successful” fiat corporate job makes sense. I’m entering an existential crisis between my fiat job and the #Bitcoin rabbit hole. Has anyone gone through something silimar?

I’m starting to miss bear markets. During bear markets there are no normies fucking around trying to make a quick buck with #Bitcoin, saying stuff like “you got lucky”, or asking you why you didn’t explain them better. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #Bitcoin os not only a lens to fiat debasement, it is a lens to human psychology as well.

It’s amazing how people still think that any asset within the declining fiat system can perform better than #Bitcoin, a new decentralized, neutral, digital, energy-backed parallel monetary system. Look at the data. 📚⚡️ You can’t beat the system within the system. #Bitcoin is the new system.

At what price will the normies return humbly to genuinely try to understand #Bitcoin and acknowledge they were wrong and Bitcoiners were right? Is that ever going to happen?

How do you say “I told you so” in a humble way? 🧐

I tried explaining to one of my best friends what #Bitcoin was at 16K. His ego was so big, he thought he could understand #Bitcoin in a 45 min call, and completely disregarded everything I said. #Bitcoin is an ego test. rewards the intellectually curious and humble, the self-thinkers. You have to let go of everything your thought you knew, to understanding it from first principles. It is a multidisciplinary concept, it combines history, money, energy, economics, game theory, cryptography, physics, psychology. It is truly mind blowing. Your friends en family may never say it, but kudos to the #Bitcoiners who studied 100hrs+, who found signal within the noise, who understood the monetary history and the current inflationary fiat system. This is proof-of-work. 🫡🟠 Stay humble, stack sats.

I’m impressed that a lot of people that are in “crypto” are still deep in shitcoins even after so many years. I don’t get why people in “fintech” don’t have the intellectual humility to study Bitcoin and avoid shitcoining. #Bitcoin rewards the honest, self study, intelligent people. Can’t wait to see a world where Bitcoiners lead the way. ⚡️

For newbies to #Bitcoin and #Nostr, here are some tips I have learned for this cycle: 1) STUDY: Dedicate 2-3 hours daily to reading and listening about Bitcoin. It’ll change your perspective on the world, the system, and money. It’s a complex but beautifully topic. 2) STAY HUMBLE: During bull runs you might consistently gain a year’s salary in a day. Don’t sell, keep studying, and stack. Measure your wealth in Bitcoin, not in USD. 3) TAKE SELF-CUSTODY: Learn about private keys and the difference between hot and cold wallets. Avoid leaving your coins on exchanges. Study self-custody. 4) DON’T SHITCOIN: #Bitcoin, not crypto. There is no second best. #Bitcoin is the only Proof-of-Work network, everything else is a cheap centralized rip-off. Understand the difference between proof-of-work and proof-of-stak Enjoy the coming bull run. It will change your life. If you have been here for the full cycle, congrats, your knowledge, resilience and thinking for yourself, will be highly rewarded. ⚡️

I still haven’t met a #Bitcoiner irl 🥲😞

I wonder at what price will all my friends that hate & mock BTC will come back to ask about it as if they never hated? 🤔🙂

Which method of securing your bitcoin do you like the most? Passphrase or multisig? #Plebchain

I’m done talking/discussing #bitcoin with friends & family. It’s just impressive how difficult it is for people to get it… we are sooo early, it’s worrisome. 😓 I’ll just stick to #Nostr 💜

What is the best way to pay with Bitcoin for everyday stuff? I find The Bitcoin company prepaid Visa the closest thing to do that. Is there a better alternative?

The lucky ones able to go to #Nostrica, please share pics & vids! 💜⚡️

I have what many people would consider a very successful (fiat) career (director of a F500, HBS studies, led global CPG brands, etc), but since understanding #Bitcoin, my definition of a successful career shifted massively. I truly love my job, however Bitcoin helped see a bigger picture and the conflicting paths. I’m now seeing it as “mining” fiat to stack more sats. Is anyone struggling with these concepts/contradictions as well? 🥺😓😕

GN! 🌙💜🫂
