Upzapped, but if you just think about tools in a circular way, are you not operating in negation to the world?
Bitcoin is not of the "fiat world"
Can you be in the world without being of it?
Where is the output that makes this place anything other than a "circlejerk"?
I tried to fix things / overcome the world.
- extreme endurance athletic endeavors throughout life, though certainly not remarkable by athlete standards
- strongest aerospace parts in the world startup
- key capability for hypersonic/strategic weapons
- actual health devices for humans
- technically correct local solution for respiratory disease (assumes pandemics and death is "bad")
- accelerate hyperbitcoinization through superior understanding of monetary theory following Jevons 1875 thread that no one cares about because of sloppy/lazy thinking
- various other materials science, weapons, and energy concepts, including quirky international OTC derivatives
I held to certain standards rather than playing "the game."
Just found a bunch of non serious dishonest people that get in the way of the people who actually do things, and no one actually cares.
My point is that bitcoiners are mostly decadent and pathetic "faggots" (in the mimetic/herd sense) who don't actually do anything and want someone else to solve everything for them, in this case, the someone else is everyone else, in the future, a negation of their present life, which isn't bad, just a type. Perhaps bitcoiners will start realizing this and actually do something with their supposedly superior intellects?
Does that help clarify? :)
Obviously, you do things for entertainment, hence, your use of the term "good" to describe the reading of Nietzsche and revealing you know nothing about how to speak like Zarathustra.
Yes, the people are retarded and need to be "shown" things. You cannot be told what the matrix is, as they say. Am I really just here to get people to understand Nietzsche by having been just the right type of retard myself? Haha.
I haven't read Zarathustra yet so I am writing this like a normal person who cares and is sloppy. Getting to points directly has a certain repellent vulgarity to it, and despite your request for it, there was no obligation to give it thusly.
Do you do anything other than criticize dead men with half punches of irony who have achieved far more in their life, under far worse circumstances, than what you have done with yours? Would you like to not waste your life? Maybe the staying humble thing was said as a contrast to the near total of absence of humility. Isn't this the poison of easy victory? Perhaps consensus is that hodling is hard is because bitcoin is for soft men, weird men who notice things that may be true, but perhaps everything is mostly soft men. The herd might be the 99.9%. Everyone wants to feel special I guess. Me, I am happy to know I am no one. I came to the same conclusion as the others in looking back at my life and the present, which is that I tol do not care, and will not call my own pain "bad."
Perhaps bitcoin, in this era, is a machine that makes soft men impotent who might otherwise do something with their life. Who knows, I am largely just speculating and commenting here, a lower form of thought.
Bitcoin is not some toy.
Size matters.
Bitcoin is an economic network, its about the network's economic weight not the number of users.
Bitcoin will fix everything, not minor inconveniences.
We are living under tyrannical communism and bitcoin will crush this.
If you are doing things that are part of that process either in a meaningful way, or at the very least, in a way that represents a large portion of one's economic potential, you are using bitcoin.
Otherwise, I think "playing" is the suitable word to describe its use in payments. Most people "building in bitcoin" are not serious people, building games and toys.
Just high time preference intellectual laziness at the end of the day, living in the fiat world they are prone to such things.
I wrote a more detailed explanation yesterday that might be easier to follow.

I came here before I saw it was a beginner bounty.
The biggest myth in bitcoin is that there are three monetary functions, when the truth is there are four. Unit of Account actually is measure of value and standard of value, which are two separate things.
I asked ChatGPT for a summary and based on that, I am with you brother. I have been saying for a while the bitcoin is simply the thing that allows life to proceed properly, but it is pathological to confuse that for being the end of thing in and of itself.
Bitcoin is an integral part of the conduit, an absolute necessity, but it is not life itself. I hope more people come to understand this because I see a lot of apathy in bitcoin these days, waiting around passively for bitcoin to fix things. Fiat is the great impediment, but the fixing things is done by people, carrying out the will of God, so of course this actually has to be done by people for the good in the world to rise and defeat evil.
TL;DR – “How God Ruined Bitcoin for Me”
The author shares a spiritual journey that started through deep engagement with Bitcoin and led to a profound belief in God. Here’s the distilled essence:
Bitcoin sparked deeper questions about morality, evil, and truth. Realizing the existence of evil led the author to believe in objective morality, and thus in God and Satan.
Fiat currency and inflation are seen as not just economic problems, but manifestations of evil—deceptive, corrupting, and spiritually damaging.
Bitcoin felt like a savior at first, but eventually the author saw it as an idol—a false god—offering false hope.
Everyone worships something, whether it’s money, ideologies, or systems. The author believes true peace and clarity only come through worshipping God, not worldly solutions.
Biblical prophecy helped the author make sense of modern events like AI, CBDCs, and global surveillance—aligning them with Scripture’s warnings.
Main takeaway: Bitcoin can be part of a quest for truth, but it’s not the end. God is. Trust in God, not Bitcoin, is what ultimately brings peace, purpose, and direction.Or in one line:
Bitcoin opened the author’s eyes—but God gave them vision.
Go simp for fiat vegan seed oil bullshit elsewhere, faggot 🤡🤡🤡
On plus side, StackerNews seems to be breaking out beyond bitcoiners and attracting normies?
Breaking: I am announcing the first 2x gridscale blockchain powered nuclear energy plant in this comment. Your article is now obsolete.
The next gen of elites will listen to it
