“This is the insight which underlies the cosmological myth of Hinduism, where the world in all the fullness of its delight and horror is seen as the ecstasy of God, perpetually incarnating himself by an act of self-abandonment in the myriad forms of creatures. This is why Shiva, the divine prototype of all suffering and destruction, is Nataraja, the ‘Lord of the Dance.’ For the everlasting, agonizing dissolution and renewal of life is the dance of Shiva, always ecstatic because it is without inner conflict, because in other words it is nondual—without the resistance of a controller external to the controlled, without any other principle of motion than its own sahaja, or spontaneity.” — Alan Watts, Nature, Man And Woman image

“In the words of the Zen master P’u-yen, ‘Nothing is left to you at this moment but to burst out into a loud laugh. You have accomplished a final turning and in very truth know that when a cow in Kuai-chou grazes the herbage, a horse in I-chou finds its stomach filled.’” — Alan Watts, Nature, Man And Woman image

The point you become a Bitcoiner is when you are no longer looking to sell. You spend sats as needs arise, but you aren’t interested in getting back on the sinking ship that is fiat. You’ve happily settled on a new frontier. image

#Bitcoin doesn’t fix everything, but it does fix half of everything that can be valued in economic terms, and that’s quite a bit.

Been nice not seeing Lieutenant Dan GIFs anymore for price milestones (at least until the next bear market). image

Modern translation: “Out of every one hundred Bitcoiners, ten are just scamcoiners who shouldn’t even be considered Bitcoiners, eighty will try to sell the top and end up rekt, nine are the real HODLers, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the epoch. Ah, but the one. One is a true cypherpunk, and he will bring the others back.” View quoted note →

“Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.” — Heraclitus (6th-5th Century BC) image

Know what’s cool? Seeing your stack go up in USD terms. Know what’s a lot cooler? Seeing your stack go up in BTC terms. image View quoted note →

The reason “focus on your craft” is so important here is it’s easy to get distracted watching the Bitcoin price. Looking at charts, however, doesn’t increase the size of your Bitcoin stack. Focusing on your craft does. image

Message to Pre-Bitcoiners: You cannot make Bitcoin go away by ignoring it. You cannot make fiat inflation go away by ignoring it. The only way to win is to play. image

The NPC and Chad are mutually interdependent. They exist only in contrast to one another, and vie for dominance within the same man. image

NPCs do not like when you poke holes in their propaganda bubbles. It’s like telling them Santa isn’t real.

Nothing warms my heart more than seeing fellow Bitcoiners happy. You earned it, for “whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” image
