I like the comparison of bitcoin with Ariadne. Ariadne was the mistress of mazes, in that she helped people out of the maze. She also is perfect purity, which fits bitcoin quite well. She helped Theseus escape the labyrinth, but Theseus was a fool and he abandoned her - Dionysus, a paragon of virtue, recognizes the value of Ariadne and marries her. The arrogant Theseus lost big time because he couldn't recognize value. Lesson : be Dionysus, the true self in Greek mythology, and hold the thing of true value - bitcoin.

Ariadne was a weaver as well. Too many focus on what she did for #humanity while disrespecting her for creating the spider web in the first place. Then they get big mads when they caught in it. History repeats. Kindly: lessons are in all things. Quite often overlooked. Humans always human. Ariadne, is a minor goddess of vegetation, mazes, snakes, passion, and forgiveness in Greek Mythology. Some associate her with Persephone but … it’s a cosmic odyssey … and the band played on.
