When you figure out how the world actually works it’s so shockingly evil that it makes you wish you could erase the knowledge and revert to your prior state. Like cypher in the matrix. “Ignoranc...

The hard part so far has been surviving the 5-10 year period of being aware, but not yet rich

Where you don’t have the validation that comes with wealth

Family and friends look at you like a crazed conspiracy theorist who’s leading his family down the wrong path

But you have to believe in yourself every fucking day even when you’re still poor

The lingering self-doubt drives you to work harder and eventually that hard work will lead to a better life

I had a well known local businessman congratulate me last week on my "bitcoin investment" and that he "watches CNBC" and knows "how it's gone up". I told him things are just getting started. He said he has a different opinion and won't be buying any 😬

Bitcoin does not have the prerogative of making you rich. But that of making you free. The family won't understand if you don't explain it to them calmly and without the need to imprint your ideas in their heads. 🤷‍♂️ Bitcoin is freedom and will serve our children much more in the future th...

They’ll think you were just lucky when you have the wealth. And they’ll still think your the one who’s crazed.

A certain generation of bitcoiners (cough cough) has been hanging out in this zone for a long, long time now (relative to those who came before). We’re doing ok for ourselves, but we haven’t really experienced that point of liftoff where the success of your path becomes undeniable to those aroun...
