Jeff Booth on Nostr: The journey down the rabbit hole to understand Bitcoin creates a cognitive dissonance ...
The journey down the rabbit hole to understand Bitcoin creates a cognitive dissonance in our minds where our former beliefs are challenged and disrupted.
A mental discomfort is created by trying to hold onto contradictory beliefs - (ie - Free market is deflationary + inflation is required to allow society to function) and then trying to rationalize previous beliefs.
That’s why it’s so hard for “experts” or those successful in the old system to see it.
But it’s not negotiating with them - it is imposing reality on them.
Enjoy the ride my friends.
