Is there a way to analize zapps?

2. AI
3. Bitcoin
FAFO applies to everyone.
Including bitcoiners.
I wish I knew the long-term side effects of taking the orange pill.
Nobody warned me.
So here’s your warning:
(Once you take it, there’s no going back.)
1. Reality distortion
You’ll start seeing things for what they really are.
Fiat isn’t money.
Inflation isn’t normal.
You’ll feel like you’ve been living in a Truman Show economy your whole life.
2. Time theft allergy
You’ll develop a violent allergic reaction to being paid in melting money.
Every paycheck feels like a slow robbery.
You start valuing time more than things.
3. Long-term vision upgrade
Suddenly, you’re thinking in decades, not days.
Fast dopamine fades.
Low time preference becomes a way of life.
You start planning for your last name, instead of your first name
4. Authority skepticism syndrome
Symptoms include:
•Questioning central banks
•Ignoring media spin
•Reading history from first principles
You don’t just trust—you verify..
5. Friend repelling disorder (temporarily)
You’ll try to orange pill everyone.
Some will ghost you.
Some will argue.
A few will come back months later whispering, “You were right.”
Most won’t get it (Don’t worry, they’ll get it at the price they deserve.)
6. Traditional retirement plan rejection
Pension?
401k?
Nah.
You realize if it’s not hard money, it’s not a plan.
Security isn’t a promise—it’s a protocol.
7. Financial sovereignty addiction
Cold storage becomes a rite of passage.
Running a node feels like digital defiance.
You stop asking for permission and start building freedom.
8. Irreversible clarity
You can’t unsee it.
You can’t go back.
You don’t even want to.
Because now you know what real value, real time, and real freedom look like.

It’s very important that you understand and accept that the vast majority of people on earth lack the desire, living circumstances, and/or level of personal responsibility to safely and securely self custody the entirety of their personal wealth cryptographically. Bitcoiners are insane autists. Most people are not like us. And we can’t force them to be. You have to build products that bring tech to meet people where they are (what made Steve Jobs a genius).

Someone please restart bitcoiners
