Crypto currencies are kind of like habits. The longer they persist the more solid they become. Eth right now is jello. May always be. One change worked. The merge. Why not another and another. Keeping on playing with issuance. Bitcoin is sturdier. Its initial holders ideological of don’t change it. But they want it as a global mainstream thing. You can’t trust the majority to be ideological. Along will come a politician with a proposition. Bitcoin 2.0. 1000 dollars for everybody. A bit of printing. Borrow from the future. Kick the can down the road. And the people will vote to fork. Doesn’t matter the ideological will stay behind. The dollar has been off the gold standard for 50 years and it still isn’t 0. Same will be with bitcoin 1 and 2. That’s the difference between bitcoin and gold. The people can't change gold with a vote. Still eth is like a nice tech stock. The internet in a single stock. Likely to perform well in the next 10 to 20 years. Even if the party can’t last forever

Your actions are your footprints on the world and the truth of your existence. No matter what narratives you may later spin or what excuses you tell yourself and others. Your actions are the truth of who you were and what you are

Don't try to go from poor to rich in one blast. Go from poor to not poor, then to very comfortable, then to rich, over multiple cycles and with wisdom.

Reality is a game. The score board is hidden. The rules are obscured. Should you choose to play you have to guess the rules for yourself and contrive a scoreboard of your own making. The closer you are to the true game of reality the better you will fare in life

Enchantment of the Dark Queen
In the gloom where shadows bloom, a queen of night holds court, Her crown agleam with a sinister beam, in her realm of dark deport. With a touch so slight on the goblin knight, whose dreams now twist and twine, Her smile, a crescent, both cruel and pleasant, a blend of bitter and brine. Around her throne, where the cold winds moan, the silent sentries stand, Skulls and bones, from ancient thrones, gathered by her hand. Mischief-makers, at her beck, crouch in corners dim, Whilst the queen weaves spells that from the depths, beckon whispers grim. Her robe, a cascade of midnight shade, flows over the stone-cold floor, Each step she takes, the silence breaks, with the might of mythic lore. The air is thick with enchantments slick, that drip from her regal scepter, And the goblin’s snores, in slumbered roars, signal the night’s sweet nectar. In her domain, where darkness reigns and magic rules unbound, She reigns supreme, in this fevered dream, where lost souls are found. Her court, a scene from a tale unseen, where the eerie and the arcane blend, In this kingdom of night, under a sliver of light, her power knows no end.

Robert Breedlove
In the past if a government was printing too much money people would see that market actors and say okay this country is printing too much money. They're being irresponsible with monetary policy let me sell this currency and redeem it for gold and take my gold into another jurisdiction where there's more responsible monetary policy being carried out. In a fiat paradigm you don't have that option anymore right you're trapped in a system with no opt out and what does this make you. I mean you're perpetually subject to taxation via inflation forever so if you hold dollars in a bank account today your purchasing power is being siphoned away by the central bank. Every dollar printed is proof of labor stolen
