You're taking this far too seriously. We're putting memes out there that converge with other memes to create more complex memes that eventually tip reality. We make outrageous speculations about price and somehow these materialise... a few years later than we hoped, but slow and steady wins the race. We predict the downfall of current financial order and they seem to oblige us by printing to infinity and misplacing the gold. It's all surreal and also quite fun.
We're also psychos that converted unhealthy amounts of old system money into magic internet money to affirm our beliefs and focus our attention. There's loads of holes in the arguments out there but that's all fine, as long as you stay alive, out of jail, and in possession of your private keys... it'll all work out one day soon enough. The more earnest among us worry about wrench attacks and government going full retard with a 6102. But mostly we just distract ourselves with chants like
- fix the money fix the world
- separate money and state
- stay humble and stack says
- laser eyes till fiat dies
- not your keys not your coins
I've been a maxi for a few years now, we're all fanatical about something, might as well be Bitcoin. If nothing else, it gives me the illusion of control in an otherwise chaotic world, and a framework to improve my life in the meantime.
If price ever did go to zero or I lost the coins, the intangible value I have already obtained more than compensates that loss. Money isn't everything. It creates opportunities for sure. But life is what I am living today.
Hard to explain it any better than that.
