"We're winning and we need to learn how to win. And to keep winning, we need to remember how we won."
Wise words
I think a lot of us developed doomer-y attitudes out in fiat world and many have a hard time letting them go.
Doomerism can be an addiction
reply
I think that's true. Confirmation bias is easy to fall into, especially when you're trying to find bad scary shit to convince yourself that the world is bad and scary.
reply
Try this on: You develop doomery attitudes because you are not living in the NOW, you are trying to live in the future, thus generating fear. You cannot live in either the past or the future, only the ever present NOW.
You have to keep your vibration level high by not giving into low vibe emotions like fear.

Realist!

I think the doomerism is also related to what we would call 'Torschlusspanik' in German. It’s when you panic because you feel time is running out to make crucial final decisions, even though you’re already almost where you want to be.
While writing this, I realized it’s 'Torschluss' (closing of a gate) and not 'Torschuss' (shooting a goal) so maybe the last part about "already almost where you want to be" is not correct. 👀

Very cool word
Is the idea that we're just about to the point where bitcoin is whatever it's going to be, so any remaining issues need to get ironed out now?
reply
I don't think you can ever iron out all the remaining issues. As long as people are involved, there will continually be some sort of issue arising. You can only take care of them as they arise.
reply
Of course not. There's no consensus on what the ideal set of properties would be.
reply
There are too many ideals out there to eliminate enough of them to make settled properties and this does not even include any advancements or changes to come about.
