Positivity is become more scarce by the day. Keeping things cheerful can be a superpower. As much as we have to warn people about the dangers of fiat, people like being around & engaging with people with a ‘glass half full’ mindset. That’s why people love market bubbles. The exuberance is infectious.
Agree with the premise but not sure ‘Choose Rich’ is catchy to have staying power. Rich is subjective also, and I would even argue is not the vibe bitcoiners are going for. The ills of our society are on full show today, as wealth for those that have it, is being pursued at pace above any other sense of morality. They are playing a zero-sum game, a zero-fun game eventually.
This article has got me thinking if there’s a better meme or catchphrase to come for bitcoin. Agree with the thesis, but I do wonder if we can do better…
The meme is dying off, but I like the thesis.
On paper "choose rich" is better than "hfsp" but reality is not paper.
