No one wants to admit that he's lost Bitcoin. I have, too. It's locked up in lightning. It was spent on bullshit. It was given to ungrateful people. The list goes on.
I'd rather have my Bitcoin stolen than locked up. At least it circulates one more time without me not respecting it. Maybe I should have respected the original energy that gave me the Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a serious business. We have to really understand that it's energy, money, time and our own responsibility to treat it as almost the most scarce resource. A loving relationship is truly the most scarce resource.
There may be ways that I can unlock my multi-signature Bitcoin but mentally I'm exhausted from all of the bullshit associated with maintaining a sovereign life. When this happens I work on my mind and not external things that will always change with or without me. The remaining Bitcoin I have is in cold storage and a small amount in hot, lightning wallets for feeding things I like.
Just before I took Bitcoin seriously in 2019 I came to the conclusion that there is exactly the same amount of money in this world that there always has been Bitcoin is the ledger that is like a cuniform tablet that is visible to all. Meanwhile, It is identifiable and useable only to those who hold the keys.
We don't own Bitcoin. No one owns it. This is why the government outlawing free speech by requiring identification for the speakers and writers is a laugh. They "know" it's being used for criminal activity but they don't know who is doing that activity? Bullshit! They don't want you to have access to the ledger.
I hope this person who lost his Bitcoin recovers it. I hope that I recover mine. Ultimately I wish for my mind to be strong, at peace and able to navigate this gift of life with joy, humility and stack sat ability.
