“many bitcoiners have identified themselves with bitcoin so deeply that their life depends on it. not only materialistically, but mentally. and in the unlikely event that bitcoin might not succeed, they would be completely lost. and i think if you self-identify with an idea, you are living in an illusion; everything, and i mean literally everything, is just a temporary state. there’s a greek saying: “panta rhei” (english: “everything flows”). nothing is solid. and that is true for everything, even for bitcoin. but don’t take my word for it. experience it yourself, observe life, nature, people, and you will find that things come and go.

in order to fully embrace bitcoin, you have to be able to let it go. you can only see the full picture at all times when you distance yourself from it and question everything.”
