10 Reasons Bitcoin is like Meditation
1. "Experience precedes judgement": Both can look allusive from the outside; both reward those who decide to experience before they judge
2. They increase freedom: Bitcoin increases freedom on the material plane of existence. Meditation increases freedom in your own mind
3. They reward low time preference: Some new health-fad is to meditation as memecoin is to Bitcoin: in each, patience and sidestepping self-serving hype is rewarded
4. Deep is the rabbit hole: After 1000s of hours, dedicated practitioners still feel like beginners
5. Proof of Work: True mastery in meditation or Bitcoin economics demands genuine time and effort. Shortcuts are illusions
6. Portable: Your mind is like your keys: Essential, portable, and accessible globally 24/7.
7. Never Too Late: Whether you missed the 1 BTC or think you're 'bad at relaxing,' the perfect time to start is now
8. They magnify self-sovereignty:
Both inner sovereignty & outer sovereignty share deep roots: stack sats and stillness
9. Network Effect: Gains strength and value as more people join in
10. Volatility Resilience: The longer you do each, the more resilient and strong you become in the face of volatility (of price/ outside events) (price in Bitcoin's case, outside events in meditation's case)
I run a meditation session almost every Friday 7pm Pacific Time, online (for Bitcoiners)
