Etymology: humility
early 14c., "quality of being humble," from Old French umelite "humility, modesty, sweetness" (Modern French humilité), from Latin humilitatem (nominative humilitas) "lowness, small stature; insignificance; baseness, littleness of mind," in Church Latin "meekness," from humilis "lowly, humble," literally "on the ground," from humus "earth"
Humility is a disposition, an attitude that arises chiefly from a constellation of intricate factors. Broadly speaking, it stems from a recognition of the world as an interconnected whole, in which every individual forms merely a part and every element serves its purpose. From this perspective, the folly of arrogance—of deeming oneself superior to others—becomes starkly apparent. Consider the liver: were it to proclaim its own supremacy over the heart or lungs and demand everything for itself, what havoc it would wreak. Humility, then, may be regarded as the outgrowth of a deeper comprehension of reality, expressed through human conduct. Yet it tends to fade once we fully grasp the context that envelops us; like all things, it fulfils a specific role. For this reason, it is not inherently a virtue. “It is just a ladder to climb and then be thrown away” (L. Wittgenstein-Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus).
Given that I regard humility as an attitude inherent to a journey, and thus a transient state, I should like to highlight the eminent figure of George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff.....
My view is that banks cannot delegate the custody of Bitcoin to third parties, for in doing so they would cease to be banks... It may well be that they are genuinely struggling to grasp how Bitcoin functions (multisig, etc.), and, as you rightly point out, the risks of custody will remain their paramount concern. Engaging in this with shitcoins such as Tether is perhaps because, as banks, they are chiefly obliged to store shit....
Banks will also have to learn how to operate as exchanges, so they must start studying some internal architectures for handling swaps, transactions, etc....So they need coins...
I wouldn’t dream of telling you what to do, but you might consider arranging the sandbags like brickwork—crossing them, you know, with the long side against the short, two by two atop one another. It could bolster the structure’s strength considerably. Great job !!!

When someone asks you for something, they want a piece of you to use it, or to feel better. This often happens in everyday life, when someone asks you something about a friend of yours, or about a person you know, either when you are working or with acquaintances. It may be innocent for you to say what you think, but surely in your life it has happened to you that what you said was misinterpreted, or was used for another purpose. This is what happens with kyc.............people only ask for their own benefit. Learning to give is a difficult path, always giving is almost always wrong. Learning to imagine what will happen when you give someone information helps you understand the world in which you live. Most people are vampires who don't want to put in the effort to commit to their purpose, but in the meantime they want to accumulate as much as they can from others.....Give less and to those who deserve it, you will get uninteresting people away from you and improve your day...Is a personal and difficult road that must be discovered every day and it is different for each of us..
Just have a small book of aphorisms or philosophy with you at all times and it will perhaps work out.......learning to be alone with us....the solution is inside, not outside...
