βBitcoin has become a self-healing, self-sustaining network that will always persist in some way. I've always resonated with the aspects of Bitcoin being a decentralized organism. It is all-consuming. It will leech off the souls soldiers volunteer for and then move on to consume as many as possible. The community even reinforces this with a "slay your heroes" mentality. As soon as you're depleted for all you can provide, the people cast you away, leaving behind the value and time you gave up to the network. It doesn't matter what you do; it will use you, and the people will abuse you. Then, the newcomers lured into the price actions, philosophies, and "welcoming community" will rotate through and repeat.β
