Irrational Optimism — The Spirit Of A Bitcoiner

This is a viewpoint editorial by Aleks Svetski, author of “The UnCommunist Manifesto,” creator of The Bitcoin Times and Host of the “Wake Up Podcast with Svetski.”I simply returned from incline sprints and chin-up burpees, at 1:30 p.m. in 103 degree Texas heat, listening to “Through the Fire,” “Push it to the Limit” and “Eye of the Tiger.” Oh … and Im fasting.Irrational? Yes. Abso-fucking-lutely. When the fiat facility thinks theyre handling “reasonable” individuals in Bitcoin, they are deeply mistaken.When they think that “these Bitcoiners” are just going to be cleaned of the system because of the currency exchange rate between it and some government-mandated shitcoin, then plainly theyve not viewed this film before.Weve been here before. None of this is new.There is no surrender. There is no variation of this story where genuine Bitcoiners choose to “sell their bitcoin.”That shit is locked away. Permanently, Laura. For-E-V-E-R. What these minutes do though, is forge the next round of Bitcoiners who have the courage, character and conviction to bring the concept forward.We have a boundless supply of troops who will keep concerning Bitcoin over time due to the fact that the alternative is either government and main bank Ponzi plans, or digital and crypto Ponzi schemes.There is no safe place to park the product of your labor. There is no realm of integrity where the rules are not altered by some cabal of morons who believe they can outcompete gravity.Bitcoin is the only option, and while they attempt to economically engineer bombs to drop on markets, we grow more powerful. We “battle in the shade.” Time is on our side. Thats an extremely uncommon thing, due to the fact that empires and centrally prepared or held institutions are constantly combating time.GreatnessNothing terrific was ever developed by the loyal, afraid masses.No terrific treachery was ever stopped through compliance and subservience.There is no splendor in retreat, nor in surrender.Think about it.Alexander the Great.Jesus Christ. William Wallace. The Founding Fathers of America.Leonidas and The 300. You think they didnt want to quit at some time? You believe they didnt desire to surrender? You think they had it “easy”? Do you think when Alexander was being speared during the siege, he couldve just reversed and gone house? Or how about Jesus being crucified? He couldve simply “repented” and renounced God (Truth). They didnt. William Wallace simply needed to whisper “grace,” while being disemboweled, and possibly the discomfort would stop. Instead, with his passing away breath, he shouts: “Freedom!”The Founding Fathers and Leonidas mightve handed in their weapons and made the offer, but instead, they stated “Come and Take It.”Come and take it.None of them pulled back. They charged, they marched forth, they stood their ground, all in spite of the odds.This is the exact same energy real Bitcoiners have. They have locked it up and will never yield (pun intended). This is what it indicates to be a member of The Remnant.If youre still here, then by meaning, you remain. You are The Remnant. The 20% who make the difference. The 20% who matter. Know Your EnemyRemember why youre here.I am 100% knowledgeable about the fact that I couldve sold some at the top, then purchased more now, however thats no longer my game.Its generally too hard to do, and requires a level of dedication, insight, luck and timing that couple of on the world have. Im not one of them.(Orders of magnitude more vital that # 1) … Why the fuck would I take profits in bathroom tissue cash, simply so I can offer 30– 50% of that to the opponent? Are you crazy? You think Im here to “get rich”? You believe this is about “buying a lambo”? No. Im here to see the empire of lies burn to the ground. What stays is a foundation upon which we can develop a civilization of truth.The underdog always has the edge because he has absolutely nothing to lose.Compound that with the fact that you have a whole army of people on both sides of the bell curve (no middle-of-the-curve individuals genuinely enter Bitcoin), and you have a relentless baseline of holders who are prepared to go down with the ship if thats what it means.This level of conviction is not in their models.Our edge is our unreasonable optimism. No matter the dip, no matter the ridicule, no matter the time scale, no matter the exchange-rate pain, we are never fucking selling.If the facility wishes to play Chicken, then please do.Youre going to fuck around and discover, for damn sure.We shall see who the real Brinksmen are.ContrapliantI was recently presented to a word by PabloF7Z.Contrapliant. Im not exactly sure its even a word in English, however considering that were always comprising words, Im declaring it. As Im sure you can inform, it suggests the reverse of “certified.”The way I like to think about it is: “Actively-non-compliant.”To me, this is the meaning of life. Entropy is the status quo and life appears to be that which defies entropy. We dont understand why, or how, but it does.Case in point: when I was returning from my run, I saw this and needed to take a picture: Just like nature, Bitcoin is contrapliant.They are both alive, and that which lives will always find a way.Bitcoin and Bitcoiners will never ever give up. We will never ever give up.We are irrationally positive about the future, since as Ive stated lot of times, a world without Bitcoin, where we own nothing, have no personal privacy and are doped up on anti-depressants is not a world worth living in.Let this minute in time serve you. Permit the flames to burn off all that is unnecessary. Whats left is the real you, simply with a thicker skin, higher conviction, a higher degree of guts and a character thats worthwhile of leading.You will review this moment, and remember what it suggested to earn your stripes, and it will offer you what you require to preserve the huge F.U. energy that makes all the difference.Become contrapliant, young Bitcoin padawan.This is your moment.Now go listen and buy some inexpensive bitcoin to this playlist: Svetskis Bear Market Music This is a visitor post by Aleks Svetski, author of “The UnCommunist Manifesto,” creator of The Bitcoin Times and Host of The Wake Up Podcast.
