Thank you, my friend. There's definitely a contingent of silent bitcoiners who feel this way. It gets harder to maintain the hysteria.

> Nah, I'm kidding. Seriously though, watching other people come to the same natural conclusions (and writing articles about them) is a heck of a thing to watch.

Totally agree. It beautifully put into words many of the sentiments I've had for quite a while. I have zero data to substantiate this, but I won't be surprised if more 'silent' bitcoiners also feel the same. 

Kudos to @jtwoodhouse for writing it up. Well worth the read.

Excellent comment 👍... I'm new to this but I am convinced that if we continue stacking and learning daily... we will achieve it 💪

But no, this isn't the real reason bitcoiners tend to wish for the end days. It's just easier. A dollar collapse spares us from the actual hard work of educating people, answering dumb questions about blockchain, building L2s, and scaling bitcoin. If the world ends tomorrow, it allows us to feel superior without doing anything.

And we're part of the problem. As long as we're taking out promissory notes in dollars, we're creating demand for the world's reserve currency. My liabilities are someone else's asset to balance against their liabilities. So it goes.

You can rationalize it however you want: fiat loans with bitcoin collateral, speculative attack, get on zero, asymmetric trade, etc. But what you resist, persists.
