Bitcoin keys are pure entropy. They are random, vast, and unknowable.
Yet they unlock absolute truth
Sound familiar?
Relative: Entropy protects against prediction/control. Ownership becomes OBJECTIVE
Absolute: Massive randomness - no local cause - points to undivided wholeness
Money is flow of energy in motion, never a place to rest.
“When I have X I’ll be safe/free/happy”
Everyone’s X is vastly different. It also can change unpredictability like the weather.
The ego believes it can control the flow and to an extent in the relative game it “can” via discipline, heuristics, and optimization.
But forecasting is partial at best. Changing conditions make precision impossible.
Couple of reasons why more people don’t understand bitcoin:
- it’s complex, new and abstract
- most lack monetary/economic background
- media focuses on price/speculation
- cognitive bias favors fiat because it’s familiar
- volatility scares casual users
- education gap persists despite adoption
You are early. Don’t worry
Spending = money for expenses without currency risk (cash)
Savings = asset you are willing to hold for a minimum of 4 years that can’t be debased (bitcoin)
Investing = trying to outperform your savings
Make sure you know the difference and choose your investments wisely
As a woodworker you have to know that you’ll never make anything as beautiful as the tree. Your work is only an offering as an attempt to respect the incredible design of nature.
Thriving is childishly simple:
- Eat real food
- Move your body
- Get sunlight
- Sleep deeply
- Love fiercely
- Work until you have enough
- Give away your surplus
- Speak truth
- Accept what comes
What is not simple is the courage to live it in a world whose entire identity depends on you not living it.
The knowledge has always been free and open source and accessible to everyone.
If you value freedom then this is your list. If something is preventing any of these then you know where the work needs to be done.
The courage required is not to do anything heroic. It is simply to stop believing the programming and start living the obvious.
The rest is entertainment
#Bitcoin Standard
Even at conservative 5–7% annual deflation, your stacks real purchasing power doubles every ~10–14 years without adding a single sat.
Spend around 3–5% of total sats annually early on. Drop to 1–2% as deflation kicks in.
This does not mean SELL. Spend into local economy first. Global economy second to benefit adoption.
If there are goods and services you wish were available in bitcoin either build the business and provide them yourself or reach out locally and find others who can provide them
