Better Human Aug 29
Are you ready for what's next?
Dear Fellow Human,
Bitcoin is hope for a better future.
Bitcoin is not making money. It is not investing. It is a revolution already underway.
Bitcoin is freedom.
Bitcoin allows Cuban citizens to store their wealth inform the government can't confiscate or inflate away.
Bitcoin has become legal tender in El Salvador. This will bring unprecedented wealth and prosperity to the citizens. It will also remove power from corrupt institutions like Western Union that exorbitant charge fees on remittance payments from relatives living abroad.
Bitcoin has given afghani refugees a way to protect their life savings from confiscation. Unfortunately, only a tiny % of Afgan citizens were aware of this technology, and most are now at the whims of the Taliban.
(Btw, Western Union recently stopped all services in Afghanistan. Imagine if you had family members stuck in a place where the government was crumbling and likely going to starve, and you couldn't send them help. Just imagine.)
Bitcoin can't be stolen or destroyed through inflation. The government can't kill it, and it can't manipulate it.
For the first time in human history, an individual can store her wealth in something that can't be taken or manipulated by any outside entity.
When you understand history, especially the history of money, you see the Bitcoin Epiphany. That'sThat's when you truly understand what Bitcoin is and how it's already changing the world.
That's when you realize you have to buy as much as you can to participate in the revolution.
And yes, there will be gains. As Bitcoin demonetizes the world, it will rise in price to levels we can't fathom as supply and demand take off.
There will only ever be 21 million bitcoin, and 8 billion humans are going to want it.
Do the math.
There is about 400 trillion $ of wealth around the world.
Let's now imagine the wealth of humanity divided by 21,000,000.
You get $19,047,619 per Bitcoin.
The price may never get to that point, and it may surpass it. Only time will tell.
I believe Bitcoin will be over $1,000,000 within the next few years. And that's only one reason why I hold most of my net worth in bitcoin.
But like I said, this is about the revolution, not about money.
I hope Bitcoin doesn't reach the $1,000,000 mark too fast.
Why would I not want that if most of my net worth is in Bitcoin?
Because if that happens fast, it will likely be due to a hyperinflationary collapse of the dollar.
If that happens, BILLIONS OF HUMANS ARE GOING TO SUFFER, and MILLIONS ARE GOING to DIE.
Supply chains will break down.
A gallon of milk will cost $100 or $1000. Boarders will shut down. Countries will go to war.
The entire house of cards built on money printing and debt will come crashing down so god damn hard that the world around me will burn.
At that point, who gives a shit about being rich during the apocalypse?
It makes me sick to think about the ramifications and just how bad it all is when you look closely.
I'm not the prepper type that wants it to happen to prove myself right and feel superior.
I'm the prepper that prepares for the worst and then prays to the cosmos that it doesn't happen.
I do have hope that Bitcoin will usher in a peaceful revolution. It is already there to pick up the slack if the fiat system comes tumbling down. Bitcoin is the backup system the world could use to stabilize so that maybe supply chains don't break down too much.
Some might think this will be a good thing for humanity. A "reset" of sorts.
After all, many will lose weight and get outside and build things and create. They will get healthy and find purpose. They will get back to their natural human roots and back to small communities and knowing their neighbors. We could go back to a world with smaller governments and less intertwined political control structures.
I do want that world. I even think it's the best chance we have at freedom and sovereignty for all humans moving forward.
I just don't want it to happen suddenly.
I want it to happen gradually.
Gradually is how my kids can still grow up in a relatively free and safe world.
Suddenly will be mad max shit. Walking dead shit.
No, thank you.
And I say this as someone that has a good amount of prep done. My family will be ok.
It's everyone else I'm worried about.
Fundamentally, I love humanity.
I love even the most troubled, brainwashed, asshat troll on social media. Part of me loves them because I know that they are still deep down a good human. They've just been led astray.
And what I've found in bitcoin–and bitcoiners–is this same compassion. It's a form of tough love. We will attack anyone and anything aggressively because we know this is how you protect the truth and strengthen ideas.
Softness lets softness flourish. Look at 2020 and 2021.
What we need more of is rigorous debate and skepticism because that is the scientific method. It is the free market. It is nature. And nature always knows best.
Bitcoin is love. Bitcoin is hope.
And your mind's rigidity is what keeps you vulnerable. So open up. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
Spend more time thinking for yourself.
Your emotions won't like it because your Ego doesn't like self-analysis. But if you want to make it and survive, this is the only path.
And if you do nothing else, buy Bitcoin, keep buying as much as you can, and don't sell.
A Principle of Better Human
Action
Action is the only thing.
We live in a Universe where everything is changing. Nothing is fixed.
The only constant is change, as the saying goes.
By taking action, you embrace this irrefutable law.
By not, you are fighting nature.
And nature will always beat you.
Without action, you have nothing.
Without action, you won’t get what you want.
Without action, you can’t be healthy, happy, or anything good.

An Anecdote
Two Apples
A lovely little girl was holding two apples with both hands. Her mom came in and softly asked her little daughter with a smile: my sweetie, could you give your mom one of your two apples?
The girl looked up at her mom for some seconds, then she suddenly took a quick bite on one apple, and then quickly on the other.
The mom felt the smile on her face freeze. She tried hard not to reveal her disappointment.
Then the little girl handed one of her bitten apples to her mom, and said: mommy, here you are. This is the sweeter one.
No matter who you are, how experienced you are, and how knowledgeable you think you are, always delay judgment. Give others the privilege to explain themselves. What you see may not be the reality. Never conclude for others.
