A few weeks ago I started writing an article on what I learned about cognitive dissonance while wiring Beyond Money, but this unfolded into something much bigger than I initially expected 😅 The more I wrote, the more it made sense to separate it into a series of three articles. I'm excited to share it with you! Here is what you will find: Part 1: Bitcoin’s Uncomfortable Truth—A Journey Through Cognitive Dissonance https://primal.net/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqhkmmzzadxclqdfgsw6ll03nwqpwj09dn5x64qhgjx7z3d0mc2g7qpyhqctjwsknzttzd96xxmmfdeej6atwvdhk6en0wf6xzcnvv5khgun4w35xztt2da6hymn90ykhg6rjda6kw6pdvdhkwmnfw35hvefdv35hxum0deskucm955m772 Does exploring Bitcoin ever feel challenging, or even unsettling? It is natural to experience some resistance when encountering new ideas, and Bitcoin certainly is a paradigm shift. Explore how our current perspectives may influence our understanding of Bitcoin by uncovering the role of subconscious programming (childhood, societal, and systemic). We will examine self-imposed limitations and how ego may sometimes get in the way of this unlearning process. Part 2: The Courage to Look in the Bitcoin Mirror—The Stages of Awakening (Coming Soon) Why do so many of our friends and loved ones seem so hesitant to explore Bitcoin? It’s easy to feel frustrated or disappointed when those closest to us don’t share our enthusiasm; but there may be more to the story. What if there were subconscious reasons for their hesitation? This article explores systemic programming and the cognitive dissonance it creates through Bitcoin’s stages of awakening. Part 3: The Bitcoin Matrix—Entering a Parallel Reality by Exposing and Reframing Deep Systemic Beliefs (Coming Soon) This article will delve into some of the deeply held beliefs that shape our perspectives, even for those who are well-versed in Bitcoin. We will spell out the tacit agreements we made as children born onto this planet in the Fiat Era so they can come into conscious awareness and be reframed if we choose. The goal of this article is to translate the cognitive dissonance: What is someone really saying when they say “Bitcoin is volatile”? What is it we are exposing about ourselves when we say: “Bitcoin is going up forever?” What deeper beliefs might be at play? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts ✨ If these are topics you are interested in and you want to dive deeper I explore these themes in detail in the book: https://daniella.io

What if one of the biggest hurdles to grasping Bitcoin is the willingness to unlearn systemic programming? A few days ago I mentioned that I'm writing about the mental shifts Bitcoin demands of us. Turns out, there is far more to unpack than I thought; one article turned into three! 😅 Hoping to share next week 🙏🏼 Also, if book quality is something you appreciate you may enjoy this somewhat nerdy video ^^ https://youtu.be/HR9FrWehPzw

#Wisdom has nothing to do with age. Wisdom is acquired by recognizing our perceived mistakes, embracing them as learning opportunities, seeking their lessons, and effectively implementing aligned error correction. It requires curiosity, self-awareness, and self-responsibility which can be embraced—or avoided—at any age.

"So the absolute highest bitcoin can go at the current dollar value is $43 million?" Got this comment on my 2023 interview with Jeff Booth yesterday. It's fascinating to see these questions about price because they expose the cognitive dissonance when it comes to unlearning how we measure and define value in fiat terms versus fully embracing a totally new understanding and experience of value in Bitcoin terms. I was there back in 2023 as well, thinking I needed more Bitcoin to keep up; until I realized this system is the total opposite of fiat. I am currently writing an article about this topic; I think writing Beyond Money taught me to better see my own cognitive dissonance by mirroring the systemic programming I needed to unlearn to 'get' Bitcoin (certainly still on the path). Not sure if my response is clear, but I'm really grateful when people are open to questioning their reality like this ⚡️✨

Excited to announce that Beyond Money is now available in a local bookshop 🥰 🙌🏼 If you are in #Porto you can find it @ Rosebud Bookshop: Rua da Cedofeita, 634 Rose (the owner) offers a wide selection of books in English and even had Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. I'm curious to find out why it's often mentioned by Bitcoiners. Rose warned me it's a dense read—then we both looked at my book and laughed ^^

#MandelaEffect: Were we on the same timeline? 🤔 or 🧐 How do you remember the following? - Monopoly Man: Do you remember him with or without monocle? - The Fruit of the Loom: Did the logo have a cornucopia or not? - Disney's Snow White (1936): Did the Wicked Witch say "Mirror, Mirror on the Wall" or "Magic Mirror on the Wall"? - Star Wars (1980): Is the quote ‘Luke, I am your father’ or ‘No, I am your father"? - How do you spell: Kit-Kat or KitKat? Coca Cola or Coca-Cola? - Micky Mouse in Steamboat Willy (1928): Does he wear suspenders? I put what the current timeline affirms in the description below but before opening the comments, answer the ones above with your first instinct. Mandala Effect Explained: A phenomenon where groups of individuals remember events or details differently from how they are recorded. From this perspective, the effect can be seen as evidence of subtle shifts between timelines, where the collective consciousness influences our perception of past events and realities. This phenomenon is named after Nelson Mandela because it was first identified due to a shared false memory about him dying in prison during the 1980s, when in reality, he was released from prison in 1990 and later became the president of South Africa, passing away in 2013.
