As a Bitcoiner you are living proof that conviction, risk, and defiance work. That scares people who built their lives on compromise, compliance, or comfort.

People who call it a ponzi are secretly annoyed they didn't act, when it's been in the news for years

Which means that scares 99% of people.
I’ve noticed what the nature of “risk” changes with the application of work. The herd thought, to live without the jab was a risk, while bitcoiners saw the real risk was injecting a foreign agent into the body.

I generally don't like people like that anyway ✅
It's so sad to me that some people feel threatened by those who choose a different way of living that still works. It reminds me of the ethos of Arizona, which is at least in part, live and let live. We once had over 1000 watts of solar panels on our van running a 48 volt solar system. An older gentlemen approached us and talked to me about his solar system he paid $80,000 for that charged his electric car and ran his ac, and he was legit excited about it, as was I. After learning about our experiment in solar he said, "Arizona needs more people like you." Out of over 35 states we've visited in the last three years, Arizona is the only place I've heard this comment. Some places were hostile to our way of living, which is unconventional. Now we have 6000 watts of solar on 1.31 acres just outside of Kingman, Arizona, writing and selling books, making videos, posting on Nostr, running a food delivery business, living in a reasonably nice motorhome, with few expenses because we've paid for everything with Bitcoin. Some people may not understand for whatever reason why we live the way we do. They may think our life is hard. But I think their life is harder. Working 30 years to pay off a mortgage? Living in bondage to debt perpetually? Valuing the judgments of other people over our own? Keeping up with the Jones? It sounds like a trap, a rat race designed to keep people from being aware there is a world outside the cave. But my wife and I won't live in a cage. We will live free.
So youre not a Bitcoiner? Because you obviously built your life on compromise, compliance, and comfort, and you're so scared of me you've muted me on nostr
