I would also need to believe that the opportunity cost of being a lightning protocol developer, so not being able to do other things as much as I may want to do them, isn't too high.
FWIW, I find that the way Saylor talks about focus, and the place of focus in success, to be one of the most compelling of his various liturgical pieces. Like, there's something very deep and powerful in it. I don't have a good targeted reference to an example, sadly, but a broader example is the latest WBD ep he did w/ Danny.
Maybe you know which website I mean, because it was you who mentioned it, haha?
It sounds like something I'd be v interested in, but I have no memory of it :( If you find it, please post.
btw, funny example you used there as an extraordinary belief
I wanted to pick something realistic and familiar. A surprising (to me) number of bitcoiners -- even prominent ones -- have this cluster. It's interesting to note what else they have.
In fact, the broader issue of what you have to believe, or tend to believe, to be a bitcoiner is a deep, deep rabbit hole.
This is exactly what I was thinking about when I thought about destiny vs. free will. If one believes in destiny, can they also believe in free will? Maybe I'm misunderstanding something about what people commonly understand as destiny, though. I mean, I don't think it's common for people to believe in destiny and then be like, "Cool, I can now just do nothing, because destiny will do everything for me!" Right?
There was a website that analyzed beliefs in a flow chart iirc. I think it compared believing in capitalism vs communism as an example. Maybe you know which website I mean, because it was you who mentioned it, haha? I didn't find it right now, but I'll try harder later.

I think I would also need to believe that the opportunity cost of being a lightning protocol developer, so not being able to do other things as much as I may want to do them, isn't too high. Maybe that's what creates the most friction for me currently? Do I want to become a lightning protocol developer so much that I'm willing to not do other things, whether they're related to bitcoin or not at all?
Related to this, I've also been thinking a lot about @TonyGiorgio's post High Risk, Low Reward.
However, I also know that just because I started something, doesn't mean I have to commit to it forever.
Thanks for the questions, they are good ones!
