When I reflect on my financial decisions over the last few years, the one constant is that I would've done better had I focused more on bitcoin. I've often avoided focusing on bitcoin by listening to the rational-sounding maxim, “Past performance doesn't guarantee future success.” But part of rationality is knowing when common proverbs don't apply too.
Having posted here ~2 years now, I've observed my old posts growing in value over time, which is an odd feeling when compared to the incorrigible timesinks of other social media sites.
Meaning literally growing in value -- accumulating sats? Or a more expansive sort of value, like seeming increasingly true?

Well, both actually. What I said has becoming increasingly true, since I was writing about El Salvador and the propaganda push that was being prepared against them, which............ 🤡
But apart from that, yes, I meant the sats. The buying power those posts generated has grown, so I can buy more ribeye steaks 🥩 today than I could then.
So the work I did here on SN is still generating value. That's actually not even the case with my fiat mining job. The energy I put into fiat writings 2 years ago is gone, whereas even my SN shitposting energy is preserved and something I can still access.
(That's what I was trying to express to @Undisciplined too, that our posts here on SN can be deceptively valuable, in the sense that even our shitposting energy generates value that doesn't go away.)

Agreed, it's a powerful idea for sure. Makes me full of anticipation for the future.
