I've observed the VC/startup scene closely for the last 20 years. And I can tell you that most fresh spirit got drained out and worn down like an old whore. Channeljng so much energy into state licensed "entrepreneurship" was a trap. Almost everybody fell for it, because it sounded so nice on paper and freshly printed VC money bought the creativeness and aspirations of a whole generation, just like they bought Bitcoin maximalists. I can only tell you that the company model is dead. From there on you need to navigate on your own. Leaving the matrix means returning most of earthly things (fiat, reputation, licences). Evolution will take place in the underground for ske time. Nothing to fear. Just how nature always operated. Get aligned with nature, not with stateism that burns out your life force.

There will be a wave of Monero FOMO as markets paint clear signals of recovery despite being delisted everywhere. Bitcoiners are lucky to have access to good sources of knowledge and liquidity. I bet some Bitcoiners feeling now sad about Bitcoin being captured can max their purchasing power, freedom and privacy by switching a part of their BTC holdings for Monero. Never go full retard. Do 10 maybe 20%. If you know what you are doing maybe a little bit more. But still want to own assets "they" pump like BTC or Zcash to divert attention from organic growth. You then can dump it onto them and stabilise Monero or any other independent coin in times of a correction. Also own gold or land to not make your mind dependent on one winning strategy. It will cloud your thoughts and decisions.

This is still the most alpha you can get. If you are a free thinker, this is what stimulates your neurons to focus more on what youbcan control. What needs to be left alone. BIP110 is a revelation for some of you that still had their eyes clouded. Take this as new information. It helps you make better decisions in the future. I do believe that Bitcoin is not the sharp tool anymore. I do believe that Monero now plays a similar role as Bitcoin in 2010. It will help us advance, but do not marry the concept. Identity attachement is an attack and every spiritual traditions warns you about it. Ideally (if you have the skills) take Monero's ideas and replace it with something better. That's how we gain ground. View quoted note →
