The Shitcoin mindset, described through Satan himself, in Paradise Lost...
Imagine a Shitcoiner, who dared to ask for more than their virtue provided.
Heaven seems hard won. The arrogance. To think yourself better than the Truth, that you can make your own wherever you please.
Now, hear Satan's words, just struck down from Heaven, crushed and thunderstuck on the floor. Dusting himself off, gathering all his little muggy loser mates.
Hiding around the corner in a formless shithole, starts to get cocky again.
He says:
“Farewell happy fields, Where joy forever dwells!
Hail horrors, hail Infernal world!
And thou, profoundest Hell,
Receive thy new possessor: one who brings
A mind not to be changed by place or time.
The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
What matter where, if I be still the same?
And what I should be, all but less than he
Whom thunder hath made greater? Here at least
We shall be free; th’ Almighty hath not built
Here for his envy, will not drive us hence:
Here we may reign secure, and in my choice
To reign is worth ambition, although in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell (Shitcoin Bags), than serve in Heaven (stay humble and stack Bitcoin).”
(Paradise Lost, Book 1, Lines 249–263)
