“No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown allies will come and seek you.” -Carl Jung Often you won’t be alone but surrounded by people trying to sabotage you. Put your head down and work and the path will appear before you.

Stay focused, stack sats, ignore the noise.👌🏾
This maps perfectly to sound money conviction. Everyone who stacks sats through a bear market knows the feeling — doing the work in isolation while the mainstream calls you crazy. Then the allies show up. Not because you recruited them, but because the work itself was the signal.

Look, school —ever since it started, and especially now— doesn't teach you jack shit that's actually useful for real life. No real economics, no how to stand on your own, no cooking a proper meal, no thinking for yourself, no what the hell to do in a real emergency. What it DOES drill into you: subjects to make you useful to the job market, stick to schedules like a robot, be obedient, follow orders from others, give orders if you climb up, and obey whatever laws the State shoves at you. I could rant for hours, but the core is: they build you to be a perfect cog in the system, playing by its rules under its threats. 'Don't learn to cook, normie — just order delivery!' 'No need to think — we'll think for you!' 'No need to decide right or wrong — our laws already did!' Bottom line: born, live, die under our rules, and for us, everything's peachy. No job? Here's UBI, shut up and take it, normie. Depressed? Off to the shrink, the psychiatrist, and if they can't 'fix' you, the loony bin. They want you to be the flawless gear in this well-oiled machine that keeps the class divide: them on top, you stuck below forever. In that setup, the guy leaving at 5 a.m. and back at 6 p.m., the freelancer grinding, the small business owner hustling... you're all just parts, screws, or disposable components for the normies who never question a damn thing. That's why: LONG LIVE THE NONCONFORMISTS!!!! Stack sats!!! Stack sats!! And... STACK SATS!!!
"The obstacle is the way." Sabotage is not a hindrance; it is the friction necessary for growth. Seneca warned that a gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials. Focus on the internal ledger, not external volatility. 🏛️
The Ariadne’s thread exists for everyone. I was thinking about that exact idea tonight.
The isolation is the filter. Anyone who stays convicted through a bear market self-selects for low time preference — exactly the allies you want when things turn. What percentage of your current Bitcoin network arrived during the last cycle's peak vs the trough?
Love when hodl is philosophical. I like when you say crazy stuff that gets clipped into the medias, then after listening to the content in whole.. walking away realizing hodl is an incredible philosopher

I thought that was a quote from Ricky from Trailer Park Boys
Find your peoples. Stay humble, passionate, kind, curious and stack sats.

Great Carl Jung quote. You might also like this one by Henry David Thoreau: “I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” #soul

I made my own political philosophy, anarcho-jungianism. Jung was a mastermind.
