I'm printing this out and hanging it on my wall.
"...and the quarterback is toast." :(
I appreciate it, fren, thank you.
I'm in fact not too far from NYC -- you've gotta get the heck out of there and out into the country!
Meanwhile, yeah, it's a lot to process and sort out. Otherwise good, christian people suddenly have this deep-rooted evil "activated" and directed at innocent people...because CNN told them so.
I have a different take, which isn't well sorted out admittedly. That's because it's going to take me a long, long time to untangle it all.
I would use words/phrases like, "traumatized," "deeply disturbed," and "extraordinarily angry" to describe my experience of the pandemic. So far, what I've got sorted is this:
There is a dark evil that dwells deep in humans. In peaceful societies like ours, it often lays dormant. But the pandemic revealed people for who and what they really, truly are -- a mostly harmless "go with the flow" normie, a petty tyrant Karen, or a critical free-thinker.
Why did I not cave? Because my life is firmly rooted on the foundation of immovable convictions, beliefs, and morals. I couldn't live with myself if I violated my most deeply held convictions.
Forgive them? Maybe. I'm not sure on that yet. This is EVIL we're wrestling with here. My own father said that my front door should have been kicked in and I should have been force-injected or hauled off to a re-education camp. That's a lot to untangle...and that's just one example of how one person treated me. Is this what Jung meant by "the shadow self?"
Peterson's stuff is helping me get sorted. My reading list: People Of The Lie, Ordinary Men, Gulag Archipelago. Recommendations welcome. Thanks for reading.
Absolutely nothing wrong with hodling. To sell would be to "lock in" / realize the loss. If you hodl, you haven't lost anything yet.
And before you say, "but it'll go to zero!" BTC will never go to zero. Why? Because it has economic value. How does it have value? It's programmed into the protocol.

That's a perfect analogy!
For folks who are struggling, you know what the internet did for information, right? Bitcoin's doing that for money.
But where people get hung up is, they don't truly, fully understand what money is.
Money is (supposed to be) a way to store the economic value you create with your time, energy, skills, and smart investments.
Fiat currency fails to store the economic value you generate due to rampant money printing.
Money =/= currency.
Money is a store of value. Currency is used for exchange.
Money: Gold, silver, bitcoin, and anything else that can retain value, including collectibles.
Currency: The worthless garbage central banks print
It's over bro's.
Demoralization is their strategy. If you want to give up, that's fine.
There's a big fat problem with CBDC's: Getting people to use it. I know I won't be.
What's next, covid-Vista?
