Narwhal Tacos on Nostr: I had a moment just now tonight, scrubbing a heavy cast-iron enameled pot in a too ...
I had a moment just now tonight, scrubbing a heavy cast-iron enameled pot in a too small sink, and I thought about all the plebs and good people at the Bitcoin Conference tonight and why I didn’t go and what they’re doing and what I’ve chosen not to do and what I’m doing now….
And I realized, scrubbing this pot and fending away my jackass cat who is amazing but an annoyance I never wanted in my life…
There are two rivers of Life. They’re Energetic. One flows upward, one flows downward. I know and feel these rivers of energy inside me, sometimes, obey them always.
Bitcoin is a Truth, I know that. It gives me a pole-star outside the turbulence of these rivers. I’m grateful for that.
It also gives me an anchor.
I appreciate the transformative influence Bitcoin has had on my life, even peripherally in only a few short years.
But I don’t need Bitcoin.
All I need is the promise Bitcoin has awakened in me. I don’t need my life to be guided by a Bitcoin future. I just want to know that another future is possible, and then I’m good.
I washed my dishes in a different stream of Life tonight than I did years ago. I had a moment where I became aware of that, so I wanted to share.
