The only real barrier to entry is curiosity.
Curious people tend to be successful, so when you gather a bunch of curious people together, you get humbled fast.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve met a random Bitcoiner only to realize they were way ahead of me.
Smarter. More Successful in business.
Or just figured this all out 10 years before I did.
I have been in countless conversations thinking, "Who the fuck am I? I’ve done nothing compared to this person, but for some reason they want to talk to me?"
There's always a bitcoiner thats better than you at everything.
For Example:
Skiing has always been my thing.
I am really fucking good and I rarely get to ski with people who push my limits. Being the best in my crew has been a source of ego for me for a long time.
A few years ago, I went to the Bitcoin Ski Summit and as we broke into groups and the first one was labeled, “If you’re the best skier on the mountain, join this one.”
I jumped right in.
It was a powder day at Jackson Hole. I wasn't about to be polite waiting on some Jerry to go find their lost ski.
The last person to join the group was some dude without a helmet.
Jerry-ville for sure.
Turns out the dude was an Olympic skier and I couldn't keep up even going 100%. Best Day Ever and I was honored when he defied the authorities to smuggle a bottle of my wine home to Canada.
They say firewood warms you twice.
Well, Bitcoin humbles you twice.
First, by showing you the world does not work the way you thought.
Then, by surrounding you with casually incredible people.
