Week 3: face your issues with a strong and prepared mind
I use hundred of news feed, several source of informations..well, the exact word for this year would be "was" because I started to clean not only my social media's timeline but also of where I consume information, clearing as much as I can without create an echo chamber. 1
What I'm learning of how to deal with scammers
In terms of my bitcoin pursuit of happiness through savings, please sir, give me a moment to highlight some things I found:
- Venture capitalists are really trying to avoid to tell you they have smoking guns and they hide their offers behind a curtain of new era of decentralizations. The main target? Of course, your sats
- Scammers in all levels are promoting their own shit. I usually a really good sign to smell a scammer is when they say that bitcoin has no utility, no future for payments among other things. But their new BS app does.
Is your mind ready to consume all this?
You can't hide from this kind of things, you can't just ignore the temptation, face it. This 2023, you should build your wealth against inflation and bitcoin is available for you; ignore all the FUD from Fiat Times (Saifedean dixit) and focus on what is really important: stack sats and knowledge. Learn how to manage these alt-projects.. Sir, I know they have better offers, I'm aware they tell you narratives and fables about GM and the most hypocrital phrase in this beautiful world: we're in this together.
We're not.
We're not the same
Bitcoiners don't want to stay together with scammers and shillers or diversifiers, bitcoiners want the ultimate goal in this life: enjoy it without being concern of how much our saving and future will dissapear because some rent-seekers behind a desk don't know -mostly, don't care- how to deal with money. Again, probably, you're reading this and you have no vote to improve the USD or EUR, that's outside your control and we learned that when we discussed at week 1 (see upper).
So, we will face this reality and prepare our minds to improve what we can control: our bodies, our relation with the beloved ones, what we eat, what we see, read, work. Your bitcoiner friend will tell you to stack sats and stay humble while learn more. Sir, use bitcoin to strenght your wealth and learn how it works to start your journey through the rabbit hole and ignore black holes2.
That's it for this week. Stay well my dear sir, stack sats and look for hapiness.

They tell you this is better than bitcoin, claiming they're decentralized but no need to introduce more stuffs, they are centralized; beware of those. ↩
