I've seen some opinions on Bitcoiners getting wealthier by providing no value. I can't speak for everyone, but here's how I am getting wealthier by providing no value:

I go into my emergency medicine job and get verbally and physically abused (called names, hit, choked, threatened), serve an ever increasing number of patients with resource increases that don't keep up, do things that fundamentally change who I am in ways that can't be undone (work on dead babies with parents screaming in my ears), get exposed to dangerous pathogens frequently, work nights so someone is there to respond to your emergency (changing this because the pay isn't worth it), act as a social worker because that's my job now apparently, pick up extra shifts to fund my investments, and spend a lot of time maintaining my education and licensing.

Outside of that, I've spent literally thousands of hours studying a variety of topics covering the financial system, government, all sorts of investment topics, technology, philosophy, and other areas.

After all of that, I landed on Bitcoin and chose to store my extra wealth there. It's paying off.

I think some people are just fucking envious. I could have spent my time hating people who figured something out before me. Fortunately, I spent thousands of my hours learning from them instead.

Most of my focus and work in 2025 will be on providing value for those who also value freedom and Bitcoin. #Nostr and #Bitcoin are the way.

Anyone saying people like me produce nothing can fuck right off. I produced value and stored it in Bitcoin and all Bitcoin has done is what it was supposed to do. Full disclosure: a very tiny portion of my stack was bought out of spite using stimi money during Covid. I've since v4v'ed way more than that to devs and producers in this space.

It seems like people are called geniuses for doing this with anything else (Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, etc), but people who do it with Bitcoin are somehow different. It's all built on an internal image of what people will value in the future and betting on that thing. It turns out that people already value Bitcoin. You really don't have to be a genius to take a look around and conclude that the world needs Bitcoin. The fucking up and right chart can be understood by any simpleton.

Envy is evil and destroys people.
