Seems simple enough. Not me, but from: @Jeff Booth

Its not you, it's me.

When you look back on what you've remembered about your life, and you realise you've passed over into something else. Again. That is self improvement.

Does anyone else feel as they walk around a big city that they are looking at a museum?

Things are matter and you don't, You're worried that you've lost the game, but you haven't been playful in a very long time. You intellectualise the past and you have never been there. We are all brow furrowed toiling away on this ball in space, our home is this tenuous? How absolutely wonderful.

If you are combative and playing the game of attention in the bitcoin space you might expect that you would attract that energy over time.

Different and true and thus better days are ahead of us.

Money printing folds more of society into the government "tent".

The truth is: We don't like the truth. Denial keeps our ego together. The truth is orthogonal to so much of our lives. Lies we hold on to, because we feel like we need to in order to survive. What could a new human consciousness look like with an organisational institution like bitcoin demanding a whole new set of behaviours? How would the darktriads in psychology (narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths) respond? Psychological disorders based on lies, manipilation and cruelty. And would they slowly through generations be selected and nurtured out of the human race? As they are no longer selected for lack of empathy, rat cunning and extreme drive in a finite game. I have seen many narcissistic people in the bitcoin space and have severe trouble with bitcoin and what it demands onto them. Not just another brain slowly rewiring as they understand, The narcissist cannot accept what they know their ego will "lose" on a bitcoin standard, and cannot imagine what humanity will gain nor is that important to them. and they do not have the insight to challenge or gain a new perspective. You might even hear these personalities appear like they see a new system, In an effort maintain their own. Unchangeable People vs Immovable Bitcoin.

“Other evils there are that may come; for Sauron is himself but a servant or emissary. Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.” - Gandalf, Lord of the Rings. Painting by Van Gogh

In true human form, the people who have and are involved with Bitcoin blame somebody else ( the central banks, money printing, not the fact you have also taken the loans from the central banks) just like humans do. Bitcoin is truely an amazing piece of technology. You don't have to see your role in the problem clearly or take responsibility for it to work!

Have a lovely day everyone.

It's a constant process.

A brand new day.

Bitcoin is doing this to the world.

Before I understood Bitcoin I was an artist trying to make a living. In key moments I had to make a choice as to what I was going to do . I prefer the satisfied mind I ended up with.

I went to a Bitcoin Meetup for the first time, my wife wife pushed me to do it! I've got to be honest about the fact I was struggling to find people who saw Bitcoin the way I did. Lots of people still acting like they will exist today and tomorrow but with much more money. I'll be rich! I'm such a clever boy. I've realised the way Bitcoin is going to work to really shift us into a new paradigm is habitual and behavioral. And most people won't get it. Many more that get some of it will maybe only get it in hindsight. A strange thought.

Last weekend I visited a nice little town in Tasmania. It's called Richmond a historical place trying to resemble England, I presume, like a convict who was reimagining home without drawings or photographs. Everything was a bit wobbly, the Gumtrees were scraggly and if you squinted your eyes on this "oldest bridge in Australia" it looked like an impression. It was not lost on me on this beautiful day, that we had in some way extracted time from the future (especially as a citizen of the west) to visit this untouched town of the past. The melancholia of knowing that I was also more like this old town closer to it in earth history than the system yet to be ushered in by our collective move to Bitcoin. Everything is more uncertain and sad because I discovered Bitcoin, what it has revealed to me, the implied human misery of our past systems. The implied human misery of my actions today and yet, Bitcoin has also reflected onto me more certainty and hopefulness. As if to say I have had my last drag of the cigarette and I'm not going back.
