Everything that’s worth having is difficult to achieve. Proof of work in all things. You want wealth? It’s going to be difficult to achieve. Health? Difficult. Good relationship? Difficult. Skills? Difficult. See the pattern? If these things were easy everyone would have them and they’d be worth nothing. Embrace the pain. Have you ever met a person who spent their life avoiding pain? They’re complete and total losers. They have nothing. No skills, no health, no money, no relationships… they wasted their life avoiding pain. Sacrifice. That’s the price of a good life. Put in the fucking work.

This is the attitude I love. If you're trying to build something, you are going to run into all kinds of obstacles. One's that you never even anticipated. Don't give up. Keep pushing forward. I've rarely seen a Bitcoiner that did things the easy way. The only way you will get to where you want is to grind.

I very strongly agree with the majority of things you say. That’s pretty uncommon for me.
I suggest another view. The natural path is the one of least resistance. It might be simple but it isn’t, because the one of least resistance is not the obvious one or the one you expect. You want to become rich? Do you go up the corporate ladder? Do you hussle? Start your business? What about figuring out the path of least resistance and stacking sats. Health? Working out together with less calorie intake and more outtake and less processed food. Good relationship? The one of least resistance that somehow it keeps working and self aligns along the bumps.
It’s not anything to do with me. It’s just because I try and say true things. So really you’re agreeing with the truth.

Shallow, cultish thinking. Proof of work is fundamental to Bitcoin yes, but it's not a universal principle and to extend it into one is a sign of a cultist mindset. Or of a fraud.
True when it comes to accomplishing great things, or being exceptional. There are lots of things worth having like a family that aren’t necessarily hard to get. Being healthy can be easy if you had a decent upbringing with hole cooked meals. Being jacked, lean, and healthy is very hard.
Culturally we need to bring back the desire to be exceptional without the fiat corner cutting hustle mentality
Right, great things are hard to achieve like having a good family. I still think having a mediocre family is worth having if the alternative is having no family. I get what you mean tho
