"All strong societies have a strong moral basis. Any study of the history of economic development shows the close relationship between moral and economic factors. Countries and groups that achieve successful development do so partly because they have an ethic that encourages the economic virtues of self-reliance, hardwork, family, and social responsibility, high savings, and honesty. This is also true of social subgroups."

Bitcoin is not just technology. It is our way of life. Our culture. That's why we're called bitcoiners.

Going forward, I will always be amongst the builders. Builders of the real world. Builders of civilization. Builders who believe that there is always tomorrow and surely it will always come. I can not find any community that is as hard at work to build stuffs like bitcoiners. Of course bitcoiners built Nostr. Bitcoin and Nostr two sides of the same coin. Real people are building meaningful stuffs, making the world meaningful again. This are the kind of people one should "waste" his precious time with. Honestly, fiat system is sickening. It sucks out one's energy without replacing. There is simply no hope in fiat land.

It no longer matters how "wealthy" I am in fiat land, I've come to realize how meaning all that is. Now I just want to live a far more meaningful and fulfilling life. I just want to get married, have children, and spend the rest of my life building meaningful stuffs that will outlive me for centuries to come. There is no second best community in this whole universe to belong to than the Bitcoin/Nostr.

If you won’t spend a decade to get it, don’t act surprised when you end up not having it.

I've been learning about Bitcoin for the past 5 years and still not done. It's very painful for me to be unlearning all the fiat nonsense I was taught. But it's worth it. I prefer the pain of learning Bitcoin and thereafter having a better life than wandering in an endless, bottomless rat hole of fiat. Fiat life is hell on Earth — depression and anxiety in the face of pleasure.
