I don’t think either of these things are related. Go to the mountains, nothing is stopping you. You will either love it and stay forever, or slowly miss all the comforts of civilized life.
Reality is the dream, Buddhism teaches you to wake up from it, so I am confused by the seemingly negative tone you have about this wakefulness given the parallel romanticism you seem to have to it?
They are certainly related as what is happening in the economy and with Bitcoin instructs what freedom I might have now & in the future to even do such things...

Yeah this is how it is, too. In a less complex world, as it was a while back too, none of this would even need any attention. As for negativity there are things in my previous experience(s) that is connected to that of course, which is also something I'll get into.
Why? Because I see connections between these things. I've been in situations for longer periods where I've lived it, and when analyzing why that did not last there was always something woke or fiat related as the root cause... Be that in myself, others, the structures I've lived in, or all of that.
Thanks for the feedback, its valuable and exactly what I'm looking for here to follow all of this through!

I hear you. My only question is, is your post a hypothetical?
I guess I am hung up on the mountains thing. What is currently your state of freedom that denies you from going?
reply
Oh, its not hypothetical at all, and actually its a very practical matter for myself the coming years! :-)
There is nothing as of now that denies me from going, visited Nepal for the first time in 29 years twice this year already. The thing is that I have decided to turn the whole thing into content for sats or whatever else that can be generated from that.
This does feel like squaring a circle, and it is that in a spiritual sense. Still we live in a world where its far less probable that you can really retreat from it all, that is far more complex and needs some analysis, development and guts to get going I think...
Currently I'm fine, super low expenses, but also a need to get this going, which has to happen in other jurisdiction for reasons like work permit and so on. Nepal is on top of my list, then we'll have to see, anywhere that cash is still king is fine with me :-)

Well, as they say, “no time like the present.” If you are looking for permission from strangers on the internet, this is it. Git ‘er done

Permission? What I'm trying to figure out is if there is an even miniscule demand for content like this, that is all ;-)
This is a good place to get some feedback from smart, independent people, of course larger numbers are available in the fiat universe, but I want to have fully uncensorable platforms and Bitcoin as my base or foundation before I plug that in.

So you are then looking for validation from strangers... a bit of a non-sense, looking at the context. Anyway, I think you are starting from the wrong point: if it is something you really want to do, you should do it a priori, with or without a pre-boxed audience that maybe is willing to follow your journey, with or without a gopro, with or without Bitcoin reaching a million...
I think I get you now. I personally am way less measured. I just yolo in full steam without a second thought haha. My justification would be, “I’ll at least get one hell of a Himalayan mountain adventure out of it”
