Here's what most bitcoiners miss: Bitcoin isn't the destination—it's the vehicle to freedom. Money was never the goal; it's the ability to pursue what actually matters to you as an individual.
Right now, we wake up energized—connecting dots, sharing our findings, riding waves that 99% of people think are foolish. The asymmetric opportunity feels infinite because we're so early. Every pump validates our conviction; every person calling it a "scam" just confirms how much runway we have left.
But here's the paradox: when Bitcoin becomes standard—when everyone works for it, when employers pay in sats, when price discovery happens in the background like checking your bank balance—all that electricity disappears.
The easy gains that come from Bitcoin's current obscurity will be arbitraged away. The thrill of being right while everyone else is wrong vanishes when everyone else finally gets it. Instead of feeling like pioneers mapping unexplored territory, we'll just be... people using money.
If we don't start that inner journey now—figuring out what we actually want to do with our lives beyond "number go up"—we'll find ourselves trapped in nostalgia when Bitcoin wins. We'll spend our freedom looking backward at the "good old days" instead of living fully in the present moment we fought so hard to create.
The real alpha isn't just being early to Bitcoin. It's being early to yourself. Start now, while the excitement of being right still gives you energy to discover who you want to become when the game changes forever.
Bitcoin isn't a hobby. Bitcoin is money. Money doesn't bring happiness; doing what you love brings happiness.
Stay humble, stack sats and learn what you love doing.
