I have never thought that the outside world would have such an effect on my new-found crypto life. I probably become one those who would be ready to slash a person with my sword in the name of Bitcoin. I didn't know that owning tiny cryptos would put me such in a defensive mode, especially if those people are telling me oh yeah it is a bubble, oh yeah it would crash. Surely, I am not blind to the reality of crash and I am mentally preparing myself for that, but hopefully, people would not ruin my dreams. Haven't you had enough of the exploits? Too much of something is bad, leave something for the rest. I just hope that my travels have already prepared me to become fearless and a risk-taker, including the financial aspect. A mere free human being with nothing to lose. My detachment to the worldly pleasures hopefully would be of great help this time.
Am I becoming one of those crypto geeks right now, a fanatic or something? After my travels and all the endless meeting of 24h friends and all the wasted time in meaningless conversations, I just decided to become a hermit and focus on my startup project. In case you don't know, cryptocurrency and this community are slowly making it happen for me. And it is all for the greater good mind you, imagine not being slaves to unethical international corporations anymore. Working for those evil clowns as they mine other lands for your people at the expense of other people. What a dream to be truly free. The same old survival of the fittest should not work anymore but can you also do your part in helping this whole madness to stop? If you are a sane being still. It really feels like a hard battle down here, freedom vs control.
I would be happy to give myself a good life and possibly someone or some people out here in paradise too. As you all know, everything would only be possible with a single-minded goal, but it does not mean I am such a gnome right now. I would be happy to explain to people or to visitors that I am not getting my money from the dark web and that I'm a perfectly sane being with feelings, that I do feel angry and sad sometimes. (Not sure about the sane though) At the same time, I don't want to be such an ass by saying Oh I told you so or surrender to defeat Oh yeah bitcoin crashed, now what? In the end, I only want to say, bitcoin crashed, so what? Life goes on in the crypto world.
People are always ruining things for you.

Now, what's with all these mortgaging their houses, selling their cars and buying bitcoin on credit? Though I cannot really blame people for joining the bandwagon and making bitcoin mainstream but is this just all about greed now? That people buy it based on emotion, based on this idea that they will soon get rich? I worked hard for my tiny cryptos, and it was a slow acquisition. Don't get me wrong though, I am not saying that these people didn't work hard for their houses or cars, but why not see the long-term benefit of the father of cryptocurrency instead of seeing it as a get-rich-quick scheme?
In my world, I am tired of corruption and tyranny and I know I am not the only one. For those who haven't experienced its harshness surely still believes in their government. You have to walk 34 miles in my shoes for you to understand my great disgust. I have to learn how to put my trust back to the rulers and to the masses that appoint them. It will be a slow process though, especially after centuries of the same shit. Fiat only brought misery to those 'who didn't make it'. Thanks to those who introduced this ideology, now people here learned not to care too. Fine, I have enough of this whole blame game. Hurt people hurt other people. People around here disturbingly become fanatics of this seriously flawed system in the name of change, nevermind its disastrous effects. Meanwhile, I am doing my part in introducing this community and cryptocurrency to those who need it, but please, I hope people out there don't ruin beautiful things. Don't judge the do-gooders, those who invented that term surely didn't know injustice. For those who have nothing good to say, just eat, pray, and shut up.
Why not harness our collective power instead of participating in the usual us vs them battle. People should see liberty over oppression as a common goal, and use this individualistic idea to help yourself in order to help other people. Cryptocurrency is bringing the power back to people and though it might not totally replace fiat in the future, it should have its permanent place in the society. You and I can make it happen and instead of arguing and being negative about it, just see it as something paramount for creating an ethical future for humanity.
