The most punk thing that you can do right now is be happy. The mainstream wants you exhausted, unhealthy, doomscrolling, angry and pathetic. It drives more clicks and advertisers. Finding true joy has become edgy.

I came to the conclusion, long ago, that the main purpose of mass media, Big Tech social media, politicians, etc is to prevent you from planning and executing your dreams. People at the helm of those institutions know that our thoughts and beliefs are the basis of reality. The more they can distract you from your dreams, the weaker (and more controllable) you are. Ignoring their fear-mongering, and other distractions (like the popular vote for President), while focusing on your dreams with action, undermines their whole scheme.

Well isn't that a reflection of plan for dramatic change? I think the term is "learned helplessness". The idea being to make people so exhausted that they will accept any diktats from centralised authority and look for them for help
I haven't watched the mainstream views since 1998 ... that's 26 years. I don't miss it at all, and my kids that are about to leave home and go out on their own have no idea it exist. I refuse to bring the degenracy of cable TV, Disney, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc... into my home. If we stream movies it's through Bittorrent, Living Scriptures, Angel Studios, Pure Flix (Great American Family) and the likes.
Acredito que seja especialmente verdade para os brasileiros que aqui estão. Vejo que por causa da situação política e até por causa das pessoas com qualidade duvidosa que temos que lidar ficamos mais melancólicos. Mas até por ser interesse da elite que está em brasília (que bem sabem que não nos quer ver bem) devemos cuidar do nosso emocional. Conseguir na medida do possível melhorar nossa vida e manter o embalo pra cada dia ficar mais independente do estado. #bitcoin é sobre isso. Mas #bitcoin é só a esfera financeira. Uma sugestão pra começar: Selecione os amigos realmente bons e mande os tóxicos pra pqp. Gente que quer crescer assim como você facilita de mais a vida. um Corolário: Fuja de redes sociais que nem o Boulos foge da CLT. View quoted note → GA!

I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles. --Audrey Hepburn

I agree that individual happiness isn’t exactly a mainstream value today. But I don’t think there’s any “will of the mainstream” that wants us to be frustrated. However it doesn’t really matter whether someone else wants us to be happy or not. What matters is whether we want it for ourselves.

I feel like I'm losing the battle. I want to buy more Bitcoin, but I barely have anything left. I’m fascinated by its great potential, and often I imagine, frustrated, that I will only be a mere observer of the achievements Bitcoin will bring. Sometimes I manage to buy a little, but only very small fractions. Today, with a child and many responsibilities, it's all I can do. I will still witness many countries bowing to the future that Bitcoin will bring.

And small fractions is all you will need :) Feelings aside, try to look at things objectively. It is difficult. No doubt about that. But, is your life better now than before? Is your net worth higher today than a year ago? It doesn’t matter how big your stack is! Don’t compare it to others. Compare it to your own history. We are all struggling. We all want more. Unfortunately, we don’t own a money printer. However, even if you don’t have any Bitcoin at all, your life will get better just because Bitcoin exists and improves the world around you. Similar to the printing press, or the internet. Bitcoin has the same potential to change the world again. I hope to see the impact as well :) Now, I just try to stack from time to time with what I have and that’s it. It will be enough :)
