₿itcoin has so many personal cycles you have to go through. First you spend your time checking the charts every minute after your first purchase. It drops and you wonder if you’ve done the right thing. Second you give yourself price guides “when it gets to this number I can buy this or that” Third you decide to study a bit so you read arguably the most important books @Jeff Booth “The Price Of Tomorrow” @npub1d3f4...r4xv “The Big Print” @Saifedean Ammous “The Bitcoin Standard” and you think you’ve got it now. Fourth you buy more ₿itcoin because you think you’ve finally got “it”. Fifth you watch the volatility in fiat and you have conviction but flick mentally between the fiat price and what you can do with it and the offering of freedom. Then……something shifts, ₿itcoin forces you to look inside yourself and you see yourself for the first time. Which in turn reveals what ₿itcoin has been trying to show you all along. This isn’t just a financial shift this is a once in a lifetime upgrade for the human species through the lense of ₿itcoin. But ultimately through the lense of discovering you for the very first time in your life. That’s where the freedom comes from. It was always spiritual, the change was always coming and it is beautiful. It’s all love. 👁️🧬🪬💗🧘

It is funny 😆. Wen bitcoin standard in #USA … the rest of the world is making it work. Per usual, we are the world’s toddler throwing a temper tantrum on the world stage. #Merica On macro level before the WELL AXTUALLY FUX arrive 😂😜😂

I sell my fiat because it is fiat
Going through stuff on @AQSTR, choosing what to repost, what not to... this is actually profound, deep, and (hopefully, for most of us) true. Thanks for sharing (and for the sats) 🙏

I have @Marty Bent ‘s ‘opportunity cost’ in my brain at this point. Definitely been a journey of many stages, since I started.

Good stuff—straight from the gut. But let’s name that spiritual awakening: it’s just the sudden understanding that you have the right to own yourself. Bitcoin is a cult of optionality—unlike the mafia, a cult of physical coercion, or identity politics, a cult of social coercion. It’s a constitution republic, applied. Natural law, encoded.

Well said, I can picture my self on this journey over the last 4 years You forgot shit coining though 🤣
Beautifully said. Everyone thinks Bitcoin is just about price at first… until it quietly turns into a mirror. The charts, the doubts, the “when it hits this number” plans — all of it is part of the journey. Then the studying begins, the conviction grows, and suddenly you’re not watching Bitcoin anymore… you’re watching yourself change. Bitcoin doesn’t just teach economics. It teaches patience, discipline, responsibility, and ultimately freedom.
