There’s something that’s been bothering me for a while.

To some 'Bitcoiners', I’m not 'Bitcoin' enough as if that’s even a real thing. Like being called progressive or feminist is supposed to be an insult. LOL.

And then every time I go back in my hometown, like last night, I get called a conspiracy theorist. Even for talking about the most basic bitcoin stuff (like the fact that dollars is not pegged by gold) 😭 and this happens a looot even on my social media

The truth is that nothing messes with your head like realizing that EVERYTHING you’ve been told about one of the most fundamental things (money) was wrong… and THEN suddenly finding yourself surrounded by people who also question the moon landing and whether sunscreen is even useful 🥲

But let me tell you something.
And I’m saying this to myself too. It’s fine. It’s all fine.

People are always trying to put you in a box. You’re either woke or delusional, feminist or comunist, sheep or lunatic. The financial system is a huge scam yes, but I don't question literally everything else. I drink wine and eat carbs on a daily basic and fuck yeah. The truth is, I live in the middle. And I’m OK with that. I absolutely love my life the way it i.

Being in the middle is what makes me human. It’s what allows me to see nuance. It’s what makes life richer, messier, and full of meaning. Also, I'm surrounded be so many and SO DIFFERENT people, I could never close myself up in my own world or diet.

I don't know in which point you are in this bitcoin journey but don’t be afraid to stand in between. Between two fires, two colors, two truths. Because that’s exactly where things start to make sense.

I tried no sunscreen in Montenegro last week. Burned red like a lobster on day 1. Big mistake. Going with more natural zinc oxide sunscreen as a reasonable half-way house next time. Moon Landing videos were 100% fake though.

you’ll get to your 40s or have kids and stop giving a fuck like our parents and grandparents. I don’t talk about bitcoin stuff to normies - it’s a waste of energy lol

Well said, being a moderate Bitcoiner can be lonely. But it does feel (to me at least) like there’s a little less reflexive resistance to the idea of Bitcoin amongst the normies, and there is more space in Bitcoin circles for normie Bitcoiners. May that trend continue!

The moon landing as it's been reported is indeed debatable to the very least, though, and sunscreens are usually carcinogenic sludges that you massage on your skin until they're absorbed. If you really want to protect yourself because you have to stay for a long time under the sun, use coconut oil, ...
