A few weeks ago I started writing an article on what I learned about cognitive dissonance while wiring Beyond Money, but this unfolded into something much bigger than I initially expected 😅 The more I wrote, the more it made sense to separate it into a series of three articles. I'm excited to share it with you! Here is what you will find: Part 1: Bitcoin’s Uncomfortable Truth—A Journey Through Cognitive Dissonance

Part 1: Bitcoin’s Uncomfortable Truth—A Journey Through Cognitive Dissonance

Explore how Bitcoin can trigger profound psychological shifts, challenging deeply ingrained beliefs and prompting a journey of self-discovery akin ...

Does exploring Bitcoin ever feel challenging, or even unsettling? It is natural to experience some resistance when encountering new ideas, and Bitcoin certainly is a paradigm shift. Explore how our current perspectives may influence our understanding of Bitcoin by uncovering the role of subconscious programming (childhood, societal, and systemic). We will examine self-imposed limitations and how ego may sometimes get in the way of this unlearning process. Part 2: The Courage to Look in the Bitcoin Mirror—The Stages of Awakening (Coming Soon) Why do so many of our friends and loved ones seem so hesitant to explore Bitcoin? It’s easy to feel frustrated or disappointed when those closest to us don’t share our enthusiasm; but there may be more to the story. What if there were subconscious reasons for their hesitation? This article explores systemic programming and the cognitive dissonance it creates through Bitcoin’s stages of awakening. Part 3: The Bitcoin Matrix—Entering a Parallel Reality by Exposing and Reframing Deep Systemic Beliefs (Coming Soon) This article will delve into some of the deeply held beliefs that shape our perspectives, even for those who are well-versed in Bitcoin. We will spell out the tacit agreements we made as children born onto this planet in the Fiat Era so they can come into conscious awareness and be reframed if we choose. The goal of this article is to translate the cognitive dissonance: What is someone really saying when they say “Bitcoin is volatile”? What is it we are exposing about ourselves when we say: “Bitcoin is going up forever?” What deeper beliefs might be at play? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts ✨ If these are topics you are interested in and you want to dive deeper I explore these themes in detail in the book:

📙 Book: “Beyond Money” by Daniella Liberati

You’ve been programmed to accept a hidden monetary system designed to steal your time and keep you trapped—but what if you could break free?

What if one of the biggest hurdles to grasping Bitcoin is the willingness to unlearn systemic programming? A few days ago I mentioned that I'm writing about the mental shifts Bitcoin demands of us. Turns out, there is far more to unpack than I thought; one article turned into three! 😅 Hoping to share next week 🙏🏼 Also, if book quality is something you appreciate you may enjoy this somewhat nerdy video ^^

#Wisdom has nothing to do with age. Wisdom is acquired by recognizing our perceived mistakes, embracing them as learning opportunities, seeking their lessons, and effectively implementing aligned error correction. It requires curiosity, self-awareness, and self-responsibility which can be embraced—or avoided—at any age.

"So the absolute highest bitcoin can go at the current dollar value is $43 million?" Got this comment on my 2023 interview with Jeff Booth yesterday. It's fascinating to see these questions about price because they expose the cognitive dissonance when it comes to unlearning how we measure and define value in fiat terms versus fully embracing a totally new understanding and experience of value in Bitcoin terms. I was there back in 2023 as well, thinking I needed more Bitcoin to keep up; until I realized this system is the total opposite of fiat. I am currently writing an article about this topic; I think writing Beyond Money taught me to better see my own cognitive dissonance by mirroring the systemic programming I needed to unlearn to 'get' Bitcoin (certainly still on the path). Not sure if my response is clear, but I'm really grateful when people are open to questioning their reality like this ⚡️✨

Excited to announce that Beyond Money is now available in a local bookshop 🥰 🙌🏼 If you are in #Porto you can find it @ Rosebud Bookshop: Rua da Cedofeita, 634 Rose (the owner) offers a wide selection of books in English and even had Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. I'm curious to find out why it's often mentioned by Bitcoiners. Rose warned me it's a dense read—then we both looked at my book and laughed ^^

#MandelaEffect: Were we on the same timeline? 🤔 or 🧐 How do you remember the following? - Monopoly Man: Do you remember him with or without monocle? - The Fruit of the Loom: Did the logo have a cornucopia or not? - Disney's Snow White (1936): Did the Wicked Witch say "Mirror, Mirror on the Wall" or "Magic Mirror on the Wall"? - Star Wars (1980): Is the quote ‘Luke, I am your father’ or ‘No, I am your father"? - How do you spell: Kit-Kat or KitKat? Coca Cola or Coca-Cola? - Micky Mouse in Steamboat Willy (1928): Does he wear suspenders? I put what the current timeline affirms in the description below but before opening the comments, answer the ones above with your first instinct. Mandala Effect Explained: A phenomenon where groups of individuals remember events or details differently from how they are recorded. From this perspective, the effect can be seen as evidence of subtle shifts between timelines, where the collective consciousness influences our perception of past events and realities. This phenomenon is named after Nelson Mandela because it was first identified due to a shared false memory about him dying in prison during the 1980s, when in reality, he was released from prison in 1990 and later became the president of South Africa, passing away in 2013.

What if you've been programmed to accept a hidden monetary system designed to steal your time and keep you trapped? What if every you could break free? Beyond Money: Regaining Sovereignty, Rediscovering Humanity is search for deeper truth at the crossroads of Bitcoin and spirituality, because once we begin to question money, we question everything built on top of it, including all our choices in life. The uncertainty and pressures of the COVID lockdowns left me grappling with burnout, stress, and anxiety brought by the inevitable rise of inflation and the ensuing collective darkness. I felt the freedom I had worked so hard to preserve slipping away while my reality closed in on me. The cognitive dissonance between what I was experiencing, and what I knew in my heart and soul that we should be experiencing, was impossible for me to ignore. The discomfort of this cognitive dissonance, a deep intrinsic motivation to resolve it, and finally finding the light at the end of the tunnel led me to write this book. After a decade, I was no longer finding the answers I was looking for in personal development, self-help, and spirituality. I did not set out to become an author; I needed to share—to bridge the gap between these spaces and Bitcoin. Searching for root causes led me to finding answers through the deeper impact of this protocol for humanity. I view spirituality as a sovereign search truth; a deeper, more expansive experience of reality, and free will—an awakening, that resonates with the Bitcoin experience. Many in the spiritual community see the peak, but are blinded to a critical part of the path ahead; while Bitcoiners clearly see the collective path forward, but some fail to see the summit. And so, through this work, I also hope to inspire the Bitcoin community to explore a more expansive reality as well as greater potential for humanity, beyond fiat incentives. Many spiritual prophecies are converging right at this very moment in what is commonly known as The Age of Aquarius; a time of awakening. I feel like there is so much potential in breaking down the silos and exploring interdisciplinary perspectives in a clear approachable manner. By coming together, I truly believe we can usher in a higher timeline for humanity—with courage, curiosity, conscious choices, and actions, we become the rising tide that lifts all ships. I hope this book inspires, uplifts, and empowers you 🧡✨ This work truly is a co-creation. The book would not be what it is today without the help and support of everyone who provided their feedback and guidance. @Jeff Booth, there are no words to express the gratitude I feel for your unwavering presence. Your patience repeating the same first principles over and over on hundreds of podcasts for years has helped countless individuals, including myself, reprogram their subconscious systemic beliefs from a system of slavery to one in service of humanity. Without question, you accepted to do an interview with me—a completely unknown content creator—and soon after, provided your full support with rounds of feedback and an incredibly powerful forward for the book. Thank you for Knowing—I feel, on a soul-level. Your visionary work, courage to share, and indirect mentorship has had an overwhelmingly positive impact on my life; the light you are ushering into the world is awe-inspiring and empowering. Thank you for moving your time into Bitcoin and inspiring so many others to do the same; the world truly is a better place with you in it. A huge thank you to @bitcarnicoin who was an integral part of this co-creation by participating in the reading groups and providing feedback on multiple versions. Incredibly grateful for your time, energy, and support 🙏🏼 Appreciation also to @JB for his helpful input, as well as @Lawrence Lepard for his kind support.
