I See Satan Fall Like Lightning

It's one of those things that we don't talk much about, but a lot of people have the exact wrong model that sets them up for failure.
On the one hand, they desire the life you have because you have wealth. On the other hand, they have an entitlement mindset from fiat money.
The combination means they want what you have without much willingness to work for it.
Holding and stacking are hard. Envy and the fiat mentality make that doubly hard.
The reason I shared the story is because I think Bitcoiners need to take inventory of their relationships and see which still serve them sooner rather than later. The envy will only grow with each order of magnitude up move in bitcoin.
I don't think "I" even have original wants, its just imported from other people
