Yes, everyone has heard of bitcoin. If they wanted to exchange their fiat for it, they would have by now. Trying to convince them during a random conversation isn't going to work. Let them come to you with questions. By now everyone you know understands you're in bitcoin. When they are ready, they will ask you about it. Until then, go live your life. Go build something. The crowd will catch up, there's no need to force it.

#Bitcoin

Chicken soup for the hodlers soul.

In the electric hum of the crypto world he had transformed. The white paper changed everything. Bitcoin. Not crypto. It finally made sense. The more he read, the more he wanted to keep learning. Satoshi's vision wasn't just code; it was the heartbeat of freedom. With quiet resolve, he invested his hard-earned nest egg, timing it just before the whispers of a monumental bull run. Having echos promised lift off. He held his breath.

His anticipation buzzed like fireflies at dusk. He checked the charts to near obsession, heart swelling with each green flicker. "This is it", he murmured to his reflection, envisioning roads untaken, skies unseen. Friends nodded knowingly; even the skeptics softened, drawn by the collective dream.

But days stretched to weeks, then months. The bull tarred, elusive as dawn in the fog. Prices danced sideways, teasing hope then snatching it away. Sleepless nights whispered, "what if?" Yet, in quiet rebellion he went deeper. Mentoring newcomers, running a node, weaving threads of community stronger than any ledger.

One crisp autumn eve, as leaves mirrored Bitcoin's hesitant sway, he joined a fireside meet up. "The run isn't the rush dear one. It's the roots we plant in waiting." Stories flowed like warm cider: survivors of cycle after cycle, now blooming. Laughter mingled with tears, forging bonds unbreakable.

As stars pierced the night sky, he felt it - a gentle thaw in his soul. The bull would come, fierce and golden, but it's delay had gifted more : unshakable faith, friendships like family, a self reborn in patience's forge. He wasn't just holding bitcoin, he was holding light.

In that shared glow, amid the pause before the surge, he smiled. The magic of Bitcoin wasn't it's meteoric rises, but a quiet revolution within. As the first hints of dawn kissed the horizon, he knew: the greatest harvests bloom not in frenzy, but in faithful hearts, forever uplifted.

Roll the dice.

if you’re going to try, go all the way.
otherwise, don’t even start.

if you’re going to try, go all the way.
this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.

go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.

if you’re going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.

do it, do it, do it.
do it.

all the way
all the way.

you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter, it’s
the only good fight
there is.

-Charles Bukowski

I ran into someone I haven't seen in a couple years, one of the few people I thought would have bought bitcoin. Sadly, she didn't. She got caught up in the fiat world and ignored the best asset available to mankind. Now she is due with her first child and she is wondering how her and her husband will afford to raise the child. They were planning to buy a house. That's off the table now. Two full time jobs and they'll be scrambling. I told her it's not too late to buy. But I don't think she understands why. I've tried to orange pill people for years. Few of them want to listen so I don't bother anymore. I hope she makes it.

The military industrial complex tarrifs are crazy. You'd almost think they can create their own money.
Oh wait.....

The local bitcoin meet up has been hijacked by a shitcoiner posing as a bitcoiner. And he's an alcoholic who wants drinking buddies. Provided they're married. I walked away from it after he made several posts that it was a guys with wives club. Fuck him. He'll get found out soon enough.
