Saylor: You’re not regulated enough, anon. You’re a paranoid crypto anarchist. Better let trusted third parties like Strategy hold your coins

“Attachment is a word that has associations in English which do not quite give the Buddhist feeling for the meaning of the word. But the slang term that we now use—a hang up—is the right translation for attachment. When you say a person’s all hung up or he has a particular hang up, that is the Buddhist meaning of attachment. It means a mental fixation or an emotional fixation on some particular pattern of life.” — Alan Watts, Human Consciousness image

The great thing about #Nostr is, unlike other social media platforms, it has no overhead. No pressure to meet certain metrics by a certain date. No runway. It can simply grow organically. Bullish.

Saylor is a relative newcomer. He’s only been into Bitcoin since 2020, and is currently stuck in the Altcoin (aka Suitcoin) Detour stage of Bitcoin adoption.

A great deal of misunderstanding is due to preferring one set of vocabulary over another. The classic example of this is “God” vs “Cosmos.”

“I and my Father are one… Is it not written in your law, ‘I have said, ye are gods?’ How can you say I blaspheme because I said I am a son of God?” — Alan Watts quoting John 10:30 and Psalm 82, Jesus: His Religion image

“This is the humor of the whole thing, that when you catch yourself doing something such as looking all over the house for the spectacles you’re wearing, there’s nothing to do when you find out but laugh. In the same way, when you’ve been trying to get liberated from an ego that never existed in the first place, there’s nothing to do when you find out but laugh. The whole of Zen is based on this.” — Alan Watts, Individual and the World image

It is possible to appreciate multiple worldviews even if one resonates with you more than the others. I’ve read The Old Testament, The New Testament, The Poetic Edda, The Quran, The Baghavad Gita, The Tao Te Ching, The Gateless Gate, and so on, and I’ve gleaned insights from each one.
