Many lottery winners lose their fortune. The thought is that people who suddenly come into money don't understand how it works. If they did, they would already have money.

Are #bitcoin millionaires the equivalent of lottery winners destined to lose their fortune?

Major forces will oppose #bitcoin.

They'll either try to kill it or castrate it through regulation.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

There are at least 2 sides to every argument.

Your job as a thinker is to find those other sides when they aren't readily apparent.

When you realize someone is motivated more by disagreeing with you rather than learning from you, it's time to stop talking.

We're divided right now.

On one side are people playing out a fantasy that they're heroes in a battle of good vs evil.

On the other side are people who simply want to be left alone to live their lives in the manner of their choosing.

"Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal."
- Albert Camus, Notebook IV in Notebooks: 1942-1951

Stop worrying about being "normal." Forge your own path.
