The fundamental struggle for each of us is that between Ego and your Self.
Ego puts pride and intensity ahead of humility and intimacy. It's happiness is fleeting and often destructive. You need more and more of it, like a drug. It is high time preference. It shrinks your world.
The Self is humble. It is low time preference. It is calm, and lasting. You need less and less of it, over time, to achieve happiness. It expands your world.
The spiritual journey is the search for your Self. Awakening is when you find it.
And, if you replace "Ego" and "Self" above with "Fiat" and ""#Bitcoin" -- it helps describe the rabbit hole down which the "plebs," "freaks," and HODLERs are descending. It is a spiritual journey, bigger than oursleves. The result is serenity and peace.
