GM! Hearing a technically illiterate podcaster’s story about bitcoin isn’t learning how it works. It’s regurgitating a story. Bitcoin isn’t some sixth grade history class. You have to learn and digest new and often complex ideas over time. It’s hard and humbling, but worth the effort. Otherwise you end up losing coins from panic selling, forks, etc because you never had true conviction. You just had a story you liked that wasn’t ever true.
GM! At a certain level of complexity learning via analogies breaks down. Then you have to think and learn from first principle about the concept itself without the safety net overly simplified and increasingly inaccurate heuristics. In college I found this around Calc 2 and Econometrics. Saw a lot of people unable to adapt to this more challenging paradigm, crash out, and switch majors. Bitcoin today feels the EXACT same. Sometimes you just have to learn something totally new that doesn’t fit into the neat little box of your preexisting knowledge and comfort zone. Rise to the challenge, or crash out and lose generational wealth. It’s your choice.
There have been over 170 million op returns in Bitcoin so far. Don’t you think if they were going to kill Bitcoin that it would’ve already happened by now.
