HOW HAS BITCOIN CHANGED YOU?

@kosmatos What is Bitcoin?

What is Bitcoin not?

@BitcoinRachy They keep themselves in the dark

Bitcoin doesn't validate ego

[(ian) QuestioningBitcoin? @QuestioningBTC]

Bitcoin solves a problem bigger than fiat.

Fiat just made us solve it sooner.

@rich_rdctd Thought I'd give everyone a break 😆

I've just returned from 8 days of complete solitude.

I took myself somewhere secluded and remote in the UK. I had a basic shelter and brought enough food and resources to last me for the 8 days without interaction or contact with others. I had my phone in case of emergency, but turned off.

Day 1-2 felt like I was in withdrawal. I found myself reaching for my phone without thinking and took more will power than I like to admit to turn it on. My mind was loud and incoherent at times.
Day 3-4 the loud and busy thoughts started to clear, but started to play and loop old conversations and regrets. My mind started bringing up unfinished business and unresolved emotions to process. It was both heavy, but also oddly clear at times.
Day 5-6 was when I started to settle and more at peace. Enough to start to relax a little and appreciate my surroundings, rather than being caught up in the distractions in my mind.
Day 7-8 was when I lost track of time and a sense of urgency and sometimes boredom. It wasn't easy, but I'm glad I did it.

@createdbyjami Following your heart without self restraint
is how people justify anything.

Bitcoin doesn't recognise your timezone.

[(ian) QuestioningBitcoin? @QuestioningBTC]

@BTC_JEDI21 Yep, and it remains 1 sat = 1 sat

[(ian) QuestioningBitcoin? @QuestioningBTC]

@TheBTCKnight Agreed. Knowning would remove neutrality.

[(ian) QuestioningBitcoin? @QuestioningBTC]

@BTC_JEDI21 Bitcoin doesn't care about fixing the world.

@kit_sats Ego makes Bitcoin impossible to understand fully.

@BitcoinOnly23 The mirror is hard to face. But face it we must.

[(ian) QuestioningBitcoin? @QuestioningBTC]

@BitcoinOnly23 Appreciate you sharing your journey, and what you've overcome, I relate to it, and agree that Bitcoin is transformative.

[(ian) QuestioningBitcoin? @QuestioningBTC]

Bitcoin is objective, but our understanding of it isn't.

We can't see Bitcoin as it is, only where we are.

Thoughts?

@BitcoinOnly23 Thanks @BitcoinOnly23

The experience taught me that I was resisting and avoiding the discomfort of what I already knew.

From a bitcoin lens, people know something is broken but opting out means facing the discomfort they’re not ready for.
