In most of my talks with people who don’t yet understand #Bitcoin, I realize how powerful of fear and coercion are in a system of control.
Probably also why the proof of work in deeply understanding Bitcoin is so important….because once you understand it, the power the matrix has over you, is the energy you give it.

We are still early because the majority think they are late.. it's counterintuitive.

A scarce asset backed by energy is all I needed to know. Now I am free.
The Matrix is PoS. All the people in it are waiting for the centralised nodes to tell them what to do.
Bitcoin is PoW. The people in it don't wait for anyone. They can just do things.
Fear seems to be the common theme of human suffering throughout history.
Keeping them from realizing their own power within.
Love it Jeff….there is no spoon
The unknown can be a scary place for most, and exhilarating for others.
Why even waste energy attempting to label it a matrix?
once you see past the matrix, there’s no going back. we are winning one person at a time

It's also hard for people who follow Jesus Christ, yet oddly Bitcoin leads people to Jesus Christ.
Christians who are heavy in faith may or may not see the usefulness because it is not crucial for them.
Christians who do are the benefit find it very in line with the Openness of the teachings of Christ and God's work.
The opposition to Christianity, Judaism and Islam will keep bumping into the Genesis block and other parts where the actual proof is a universal mechanism that cannot be gamed (unless the rules change).
If you can investigate the Biblical references to money and note where Bitcoin is beyond the ordinary treasure then you will have a different audience.

20. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

It may be attachment that causes suffering. Then fear of losing said attachment. You don't let go of your fears, you let go of your attachments, and the fear goes away in its own.
Maybe. I was just thinking that humans seem to be wired for fear. And this has been used to control us for centuries.
So true!
It's because they can't see an alternative to the current system! After almost 3 generations of wealth and peace in the west, based on debt and printed money, the need of change is hard to imagine!

Yes I also feel lots of fear from non-bitcoiners. It’s a mix of “I’m afraid because it’s new” and “the state will never allow it”
Or, your life becomes what you imagine and pay attention to.

Fear can paralyze.
Existential fear can lead to the courage of despair.
So one could assume that people are not yet afraid enough.
As you might know, Germans have the word "Angst".
We also have the word "Existenzangst".
I no longer hope for reason.
Only sheer existential fear will lead to disruption / the necessary change.

wtf is courage of despair?
Grok:
"The German phrase **"Mut der Verzweiflung"** translates to **"courage of desperation"** in English. It refers to a type of bravery or boldness that arises not from confidence or heroism, but from a state of desperation, where someone feels they have no other options left. It describes actions taken in extreme situations, often as a last resort, when a person is driven by fear, hopelessness, or the realization that they have nothing to lose. This kind of courage is spontaneous and fueled by the urgency of the moment, rather than deliberate or calculated resolve.
For example, it might describe someone fighting fiercely to protect their family in a dire situation, or a person taking a risky action because they feel trapped and see no other way out. The phrase captures both the emotional intensity and the precariousness of such moments."
Desperation makes sense lol but despair and desperation are two different words. Look up the definition of despair.
Me after you 💪🏽
I think I am just beginning to understand #Bitcoin. I read your book "The Price of Tomorrow" very powerful, but just scratching the surface. I am trying to understand how to build a foundation based in #Bitcoin.
Yes, I believe CBDCs will be a precursor to the Mark of the Beast, and Bitcoin is the (freedom-loving) alternative.

Yes AI and bitcoin !!! I have been using chatGPT A LOT
💪🏽🙌
I really really need this reminder
