wow in 6 days I will have been using bitcoin for 1000 days.
I mentioned it on the Passive-Earner forum
http://passivetools.passive-earner.com/forum/member-chat/Bitcoin-Topic.html
Lots of earning, as well as learning. especially since the day I started my journey when the price was $380. (July 2015)
Later on down the road, 2017 I got a miner, Antminer S7
super fun to setup, boring to run. Main purpose I keep it running is to contribute to the community.
We have been loyal to the viabtc pool the whole time. (August 2017)
with all this experience, I am still learning DAILY!
Recently, got the book (March 2018)
and wow there is some in-depth information oh HOW bitcoin works. Crazy right, using something without knowing how it works. . . lol
Getting paid in experience points (knowledge) is worth more than any coin.
and what I can take out of the 1000 days is this.
Flow like water.

the cool part of this (mantra/lifestyle/thought/concept) is it can be as simple as you like, you can even complicate it as much as you like. it is your choice.
Applying this concept to Bitcoin has helped me from having heart attacks as well as bad days.
So if something changes value daily, you have to find a rhythm, a flow, a groove that matches your life.
Think of it like two gears coming together to compliment each other.
if they do not align, one is going to acquire some (friction / wear and tear )
Some people want wear and tear, have you seen a wood carver spend weeks removing chunks of wood, perfecting the desired object.
Others see it as (a loss / a cost of business / transaction fee/ contribution to the community)
Just because a strategy works today, does not mean it will work tomorrow.
stay agile, and keep learning.
It only becomes profitable after you start having fun.
If more people had this perception, then other people's reality would come true.
How you think is more important than what you think.
The dangerous part is we all have control of our own perception,
Many blindly entrust their perception to others, ( notice how I used btc for 2 years not knowing how it works)
we must learn to think for ourselves!
Just ponder why taxes keep increasing, because the officials are making more decisions for the 'community'
( I have been paying taxes for 32 years not knowing how it works)
Think about it,
Think for yourself.
