pdj on Nostr: If you're as smart as you think you are, then you're getting everything you want in ...

If you're as smart as you think you are, then you're getting everything you want in life and you are happy. If that’s your reality then you're also an exceptional time allocator.

Some of the topics this week are exposing who’s not solution oriented, who doesn’t have spines, who’s incapable of nuance and who’s bad at picking the wrong fights because they’re a waste of time.

If you've done the work and have been in Bitcoin long enough, you get to shift into actually enjoying life on a Bitcoin standard now more than ever, especially now that SAB21 is down. That should be the main takeaway from yesterday for those that got this and held; it worked and you get to enjoy your life on a Bitcoin standard. It's also important to show newcomers to Bitcoin that this is a savings technology that works as we knew it would and so now your life is better because you made an intelligent decision. You made the right decision for the right reasons, which means you get to enjoy life without worrying about debasement. We need to embody the lifestyle worthy of those smart enough to recognize Bitcoin's potential.

Shitcoins are not out of the crosshairs; there's just a smarter path to accomplish putting them down for good. In the meantime, act like you’ve been here before, you’ve made the right decision and you are able to enjoy your life because of it.

The strategic reserve concept got me excited, but it was disappointing to see it fail. However, this failure is dwarfed in comparison to SAB21. We're now not worried about having to deal with a potential centralized control point (chokepoint 3.0). Don't forget that SAB21 was Saylor's final checkbox of three that would enable Bitcoin to go to $5 million, aligning with Hal Finney's vision for handling all global transactions. YOU NEED BANKS, and it didn't look like that was going to happen last year, which was a dark realization. As sure as Bitcoin is going to $1 million then $5 million, all other cryptocurrencies are going to zero, inevitably giving the final pump to Bitcoin's price. Banks speed up this process (another post someday) mostly because you don’t realize how cutting edge Bitcoin is for 99.9% of people. They need a bridge of some sorts to the matrix to break their patterns and that is a physical bank for many people.

The task at hand feels like being smart about gratitude and enjoying life. If you don't make time for gratitude and enjoying the ride, you'll regret it significantly. Can you really be that smart if you aren’t able to do this? You can feel grateful while ALSO feeling action-oriented and purposeful. These things are not mutually exclusive. Balancing purpose and finding challenges is also part of how you find peace. Men without purpose are often lost and pretty dangerous to be around. I know from experience so I’m definitely not saying put down the sword. Just sharpen it. If you feel pulled in any direction, you 100% need to stay in the fight that feels most purposeful to you. It's purposeful to feel part of the sound money revolution, so definitely stay in that game – just be intelligent about it and think about what's actionable or solution-oriented. Try to represent an ideal that aligns with values promoting future prosperity. It's equally important for people to see how Bitcoiners live in peace and for Bitcoiners to be aware of potential regret if they don't learn to enjoy life with Bitcoin.

The masses believe that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are the same and that we're all scammers. Other cryptocurrencies set progress back even further for unknowing masses just trying to do their jobs, raise their kids, and relax. What's more useful to the masses is explaining and educating how banks need to show proof of reserves to get approval from Bitcoiners that are living great lives afforded by a revolutionary savings technology. We need to act like we've won because we have. That example, along with pressuring banks to meet this standard alone is worth all of the focus and gives me peace of mind that I'm solution-oriented and not letting external factors negatively impact my life. I think that's going to be more worthwhile than getting upset about how shady other cryptocurrencies are. They don’t seem to be going anywhere but time and the truth will have its day, and will take care of them in due time.

How I plan to spend my time is calling out people like Sacks, creating longer form discussions on NOSTR and focusing on how to speed up banks to meet the right standards. Doing this while acting like we've been here before and knew Bitcoin was going to win feels like the right approach for maximal peace.

Thanks for coming and GFY.
