The 5 Stages of Grief: Realizing Bitcoin Is the Answer
1. Denial
“Bitcoin? Lol. It’s not real — I’ll stick to stocks and real estate. At least those have cash flow and intrinsic value.”
They’re proudly diversified across index funds and rental properties. They think inflation is 2%. Bitcoin is just a speculative toy. They still believe CNBC is journalism.
2. Anger
“This is all a bubble! The government’s going to ban it. It’s killing the environment. This is dangerous for society!”
They get triggered by headlines. Rage-tweet about volatility. Parrot FUD without reading source material. Meanwhile, their fiat melts and real estate gets taxed into oblivion.
3. Bargaining
“Okay maybe I’ll put like… 1% in a Bitcoin ETF. But real estate is still king. And hey — blockchain, not Bitcoin, right?”
They want exposure without conviction. They chase altcoins, stablecoins, and tokenized real estate. They’re warming up but still clinging to TradFi logic. They think voting will fix things.
4. Depression
“I should’ve bought at $1k… or $10k… or $30k. I thought the government would shut it down. I missed it, didn’t I?”
They watch third-world families leapfrog their own financial literacy. They realize Bitcoin solves remittances, energy incentive structures, and defunds endless wars — and they ignored it for decades.
This is their fiat hangover.
5. Acceptance
“Bitcoin is the separation of money and state. This changes everything.”
They finally get it:
• Bitcoin fixes the remittance racket
• It monetizes stranded energy and subsidizes green power
• It removes governments’ ability to print for war and bailouts
• It’s global, uncensorable, and peacefully revolutionary
Now they DCA. They hold their own keys. They’re orange-pilling their friends. And they stop measuring wealth in dollars.
