The Long Form

“Where’s bit coin going mate”

The same question after 8 years from the same person. My response was philosophical.

Bitcoin teaches people to take responsibility. Don’t go to the gym, don’t become fit. People will pay the price they deserve. Not just a dollar value but life lessons.

And this appears to come around to the meme of, Good times create weak men. Weak men create bad times. Bad times create strong men. Strong men create good times.

Like the seasons and cycles of the life, the world and more.

But this didn’t come from a weak man. They are strong on many levels. Some people just skip leg day in some areas of their life. I do it. We do what we like, what is fun, what is interesting, what brings the desired result.

And the fiat system has come to a point that it is stealing so much out of peoples lives that it is starting to cause pain. More people are taking action in other areas of their life.

The contrast from this week, is this person who I thought least likely to have taken action, is more interested than another person who appeared to be aware. The second person gave more sophisticated responses of “ok, but justified reason to take no action”.

It really can be those we least expect.

I Bitcoin for myself. But I think people see that because of this, I also Bitcoin for others. To share what it has taught me, the joy it brings me. The Freedom and Hope.

But when people are not around you, they fall into their old habits and ways of thinking. Older conversations with familiar people. More pressing challenges of the day. And it can be easy to not see or know the deeper opportunity.

Making it a daily habit to think about, talk about, action, can be a healthy habit. Even if just small things. But the right small things.

Learning and doing. Keep it simple. Do it to profit your knowledge and experience.

Peace and Bitcoin
