When you figure out how the world actually works it’s so shockingly evil that it makes you wish you could erase the knowledge and revert to your prior state. Like cypher in the matrix.
“Ignorance is bliss”
The one silver lining?
You can use the information to get rich. You gain leverage to bend the matrix.
Is that trade off worth it for you?
It was for me.

take as old as time
So there is no spoon
You accelerated my learning 🤙
FOR THOSE TO WHOM IT'S NOT WORTH THE TRADE OFF: HAVE FUN STAYING POOR
Fuck. This one hit hard.
I’d say truth is always worth the pain though.
Always
Oh come on, is it really so bad that Satan worshippingl elites use child sex trafficking rings to build portfolios of blackmail collateral which they use to ensure you don't enter the power club without being morally compromised?
Lolololol
tale 🤭
The hard part so far has been surviving the 5-10 year period of being aware, but not yet rich
Where you don’t have the validation that comes with wealth
Family and friends look at you like a crazed conspiracy theorist who’s leading his family down the wrong path
But you have to believe in yourself every fucking day even when you’re still poor
The lingering self-doubt drives you to work harder and eventually that hard work will lead to a better life
I had a well known local businessman congratulate me last week on my "bitcoin investment" and that he "watches CNBC" and knows "how it's gone up". I told him things are just getting started. He said he has a different opinion and won't be buying any 😬
fuckin eh buddy this hits so hard
keep on keeping on bro. one day at a time, one foot in front of the other 🫡
Once you wake up, it's almost impossible to go back to sleep. 🫡
They don't realize how blind they are.
Good, more for me!! 😀
You have a bitcoin investment and a boat … you are quite willing to take risks 🤣🤣🤣
I'm still not yet living a "rich" lifestyle but, thanks to the years of study and conviction, I now have more time than ever before, which I'm able to spend helping others I care about as a result.
This is a turning point year for me personally though, more friends and family are actually calling me to talk about Bitcoin instead of the other way around, the next couple years are gonna be lit. 🔥
💯💯 HODLing - forces you to work + produce value to avoid being a forced seller.
After a successful 30+ year career, I’m still a little surprised when a plan works well- even when everyone agreed it was a good idea at the beginning. Bitcoin takes it to a whole other level. Nobody believes you at first, so the “surprise” when it keeps working is that much sweeter.
The weather better clear up. I hear that boat calling me.
That's where I am. In 5 years I'll be debt free (mortgage) and hodling nice bags.
Suffering/despair is the 2nd greatest apologetic for God after self sacrificial love. Once you have eyes to see it is impossible to shake, admittedly though, it is a difficult conclusion for people to come to being surrounded by decadence never seen before.
To be fair, a well known local businessman should probably not tell people they’re loading up on corn.
Maybe he’s buying ASICs instead! /s
Come on… Hodl isnt even that based. He’s still normie tier and stopped at the Federal Reserve and Epstein.
Hasn’t even gotten to (or wont publicly say) the Zoinists, Kahzarian mafia, WWII lies, reptilians, Saturn, black cubes, interdementional aliens…
It’s not an investment, sir - it’s an escape plan.
why do you think the world is so evil? modern life are quite comfortable
the human experience is improving with time
The world is basically run by insane people for insane objectives. Capitalism is the thing that’s improving the world over time.
Bitcoin fixes this.
No it doesn't!
You do,by moving monetary energy away from the corrupted machine.
Without energy the machine stops.
Welcome brother. You’re amongst frens.
Amen brother!
What an idiot! His compliments are worth zero derek! Mine are worth more that I do to you every day here on nostr 😂😂🤣🤟
Bitcoin does not have the prerogative of making you rich. But that of making you free. The family won't understand if you don't explain it to them calmly and without the need to imprint your ideas in their heads. 🤷♂️ Bitcoin is freedom and will serve our children much more in the future than us.
STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS
ENJOY THE NOISE
in other words: figuring out the world isn't "fair" is just growing up
evolution has no goal, life's only objective is expansion
The ignorant are the ones who live best. They don't understand the scam they're immersed in and think they live in good. They definitely live a happy life. But I would never barter on knowing, knowing, noting the disgust that surrounds us. You live a shitty life, sad, sorry, you ask yourself a thousand questions, but you don't die of being stupid. Die and you understand the hardest game. 😉💪

This hits so close to home 🤙
Honestly I've come to the opinion that I think this is great. For me, for us. They get it at the price they deserve, and if they don't get it, we don't have time to convince them.
We're busy mining fiat, stacking for escape velocity.
Flagging with #asknostr because the thread is 🔥
Like Solomon said. With great knowledge comes great sorrow.
Part of me gets Cypher and wishes I could go back.
I'm taking a different path than you. Getting rich was something I worked hard at removing from my matrix. At least in terms of money. Not minimizing your efforts or priorities at all. We just have different paths.
The journey you ask about brought me to the conclusion that humanity is deeply and wantonly corrupt. It is for good reason that so many highly sentient beings which inhabit our world want nothing at all to do with mankind.
Sounds kind of dumb I know, but my focus has shifted away from this artificial human construct we may call the modern system and working within it because a deeper matrix which manifests as our very reality is not as solid as one might think.
I don’t get… shifted to what?
As @ODELL says
"IGNORANCE IS BLISS UNTIL IT ISN'T"
The last 5 years has not been easy.

Freedom is a shitcoin. We all need each other, and we're all restricted by our need for each other. That's normal, and good. As the song goes, "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose".
There is evil around every corner in the world and many unknowingly support it.
If getting rich was the only benefit to be on the rightside of history I doubt it would be worth it.
But more importantly than getting rich is later in life you'll be able to look your children in the eye and explain how you were on the right side of history.
Nothing will be more rewarding than that!
They’ll think you were just lucky when you have the wealth. And they’ll still think your the one who’s crazed.
I would rather stay poor.
I do.
A certain generation of bitcoiners (cough cough) has been hanging out in this zone for a long, long time now (relative to those who came before). We’re doing ok for ourselves, but we haven’t really experienced that point of liftoff where the success of your path becomes undeniable to those around you. On the other hand, perhaps this has allowed us time to grow the wisdom to free ourselves from trying to prove anything once the moment arrives.
Once you see it, you can’t unsee it
The next question: what to do about it?
Many answers of course, but the most powerful I’ve found is learn to defend better
Bitcoin a big part of this. But equally, passports, no fiat employment contract, very little debt where possible
Depends how far you go
Privacy. In particular digital. Not something I am as good as I would like yet
Rich but spends all his time posting 😭
Posting is one of life’s greatest pleasures lol
Yeah, right on...that's cool
Shitposting is living life to the fullest.
Empowering
What helped you learn how the world works? Is this like a question of flat earth vs triangle earth?
