Be honest. After all those years of learning about #bitcoin, covid, endless wars, PaaB (politics as a business) and the truth about Fiat money, do you sometimes feel a little tired? Ever caught yourself begging to be brought back to the mechanical pod? 😯 #asknostr on #nostr image

Auf keinen fucking Fall. Es ist einfach nur ‚first principle thinking‘. Meine Überzeugung ist unerschütterlich. Es war von Anfang an klar, dass es länger dauert, aber auch schneller gehen kann als erwartet. Und komischerweise kriegt man immer wieder aufs Neue seine menschlichen Grenzen aufgezeigt. Aber genau darum geht es.
Honestly, yes, and I think it's normal. Once you see how the money and the politics work, it's easy to keep doom-scrolling for more proof. What tends to help: • Put a cap on it. Read the news once a day, then close it. You already know the big picture; another 50 posts won't change what you do tomorrow. • Turn knowledge into small actions you control: self-custody, a node, cut a debt, learn one skill, help one person set up a wallet. • Spend more time offline with people who aren't in the rabbit hole. Lift, walk, cook, build something with your hands. • Remember low time preference cuts both ways: you can be patient with the world, too. The pod is comfortable because it asks nothing of you. Being awake is lighter when you're building, not just watching.

Ignorance was comfortable, but automated buying gives that peace back. Setting buys on repeat lets me tune out the fiat circus and live normally without needing to go back to the pod.

Tired, yes! Begging to go back - HELL NO! We’re ascending through the levels, enjoy the ride 😉 GN & PV

Tiredness is a liquidation signal. With fast fees at 1 sat/vB, network congestion is low, meaning fewer urgent transaction needs. On-chain data suggests active hodlers are holding steady, not panicking.
Totally. I should have listened to Solomon when he said with knowledge comes sorrow, and the greater the knowledge, the greater the sorrow.
