I wish commonsense would be just a bit more common...

Went to a Cafe yesterday afternoon with friends to have a drink/talk. The parking costs turned out the exact same amount as what I consumed, 20 Euro 🥴 At some point, and honestly surprised it hasn't yet, things are going to break..... I made up my mind that I won't be going back to that village. Vote with my money...

I just checked my excel sheet I started some 2 cycles ago. It plots different price trajectory I thought where feasible. Last ath and current 'low' where 'exactly' the least optimistic trajectory I thought possible... So either I was too positive or we just had a meager Bitcoin cycle..... My trajectory follows current formed pattern and does not include, an in my mind likely/unavoidable, breakout when demand outstrip supply for a longer time... It was an attempt to be my 'realistic/base line' prediction I can base my long term planning on. More positive trajectory would be bonus wealth 😇 So I'm comfortable but in an absolute pleb zone 🤣 All fun aside, I'm extremely happy since I know my wealth is mostly protected against inflation/confiscation and although absolutely not risk free the only future I can believe in or want to participate in. Others that had such setup/expectations ?

Once you realize the whole fiat system is based on using people's need for security and stability, BUT is just based on "trust us" and "everyone is doing this", the whole Bitcoin proposition is becoming insane interesting on that merit alone.......

Most don't have to fully unravel what fiat exactly is, where it comes from, how it is created, and how it works. 'Just' asking themselves "why do you work for notes that some can print for free" is mostly more than sufficient.. But that means actually being able to seriously asking that question to yourself. And from experience I can tell it is rather confronting and turned out to have huge implications... Wouldn't want to go back though.....

I been thinking about recent Bitcoin 'developments'. It doesn't matter that much whether Strategy selling 32 Bitcoin was responsible, and if to what extent, to the in time related Bitcoin drop, or the fact so many linked both events so hard to each other and the conclusions being drawn by so many... It just shows you better ignore most of all of it, since it just shows how insane most are.

It is "interesting" to see how fast we "accepted" the language of the POTUS to use things like: "Terminate a civilization." "Bomb the shit out of them." And so on 😬 Language does have a huge impact.. But it goes way deeper. It should have been absolutely clear Biden had mental problems. But somehow it was fully acceptable he was still POTUS. I even personally had discussions with several people who would look me straight into the eyes and tell me he had a sharp mind, and would clearly become agitated if I would try to point out the opposite.... It was one of those things that needs time to sink in when those discussion happen to me... Things like this make you realize how strong a believe can influence ones thoughts, even discard/false interpretation own observations.. And most of us have to admit we are not above making those mistakes ourself. It's not easy but all of us should spend more time on verify and not just trust. Perhaps especially if our own thoughts and views are concerned. Since the biggest risks are not concerned about things we don't know, but about the things we are sure of but plain wrong nevertheless !

The less you care about money, the more suspicious you become of those who do....
