GM Sharing what I consider one of my most important slides from a recent BTC in DC speech because it helps us understand why real change is slow and predictable. Zero to one moments are always possible - just rare as people reinforce their own view of the world from their past experiences. (Tuning out all things that don’t match their entrenched view) And while this is easy to see in those “other” people - we mostly miss the very thing in ourselves. (And seeing it in ourselves is the real superpower) image

As you say so eloquently Jeff ‘ Cognitive Dissonance’ but a spoonful of the orange medicine is healing us day by day 🙏🏻

Great reminder. When we humble ourselves and stop focusing on others’ weaknesses, we can start to transform our own thoughts and actions.

GM Jeff ☕️🧡So true. Bitcoin is that rare zero-to-one moment, it forces us to confront our own biases and rebuild truth from first principles. That’s why it wins.

It's the outliers, always has been. Solutions can not come from where or how you've been searching. If they could they would already been found. You must step outside your own constraints, mirror the image, flip the table, introduce some randomness. My personal favorite is when the solutions to problems simply involve a change of your frame of reference. For example in architecture, when there is one large issue with the project you spent months fighting, then it turns out to be the defining feature. It's you that had to change your perspective in order to see it.

Well said! The journey inward is the most important one we can take.
Finally, a slide both the freedom minded and authoritarian can agree upon ☺️
TY brother...was searching through replies hoping to find a brave soul to lend some acknowledgement & truth that honors God...so I'm posting this here (& maybe above again) in your support. We can all be in favor of bending reality...if it is done by faith in God. (btw, I struggle with this every moment of every day.) "...if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” ~ Matthew 17:20

So true Jeff. The most important skill I’ve learned is to treat the external world as a mirror. I’m over a decade into this experiment and the emotional sobriety I now experience is priceless. If one is brave enough to really commit and persist with this perspective they will absolutely transform their experience of reality, and of what it means to exist with it.

So eloquently put Jeff . It is re-enforcing what David Deutsch advocates in his book “ The Beginning of Infinity “ Humans are always at the beginning infinity because we are always seeking a better way/explanation of how things work. Hence your statement that “The natural state of the free market is deflationary “ . We have never live without n a “natural state” because of “bullies/government “ prevents criticism which is the only way we can arrive at a better explanation for any problem.
So true Jeff. At the bottom of the rabbit hole you realise it was just you all along. Bitcoin is you. The world is you.

Shoot, I’ve been sitting with your question for a couple days now, and I realize the answer isn’t straightforward as I first thought. Forgive me, I am going to take a bit more time before I answer. I am energized by trying to get to a clear and concise explanation.
