Well, perhaps longer before that, but it's like, it doesn't suffice anymore, because most of those guys, like you said, they've just вЂ“ theyвЂ™ve given up. This is why when people try and say like, вЂњOh, are you a conservative or a democrat, or you a libertarian?вЂќ Those are the best definition I can find is on a Bitcoiner, because, NCAP and libertarian would have been how I may have classified myself a year or two ago, more. That is part of this process, which I think goes into the toxicity, but I don't want to steal too much of your thunder with that. I thought, it was a really interesting way of seeing Bitcoin as this purifying forces of community, and that it brings out the best from all of us. People that see a problem, but don't want to do anything about it. Those would be your, those libertarians, many of the NCAPs. I just think, this interesting view of the idea that there's all these different people, even the ones who are contrarians and know that things are wrong, but they don't choose to put their whole life and energy forward into a means of being able to challenge themselves and grow. I think, it's such an interesting lens of you have these different cohorts of people who are ultimately just going to be energy-draining, not productive uses of time, and you find this refuge within this Bitcoin remnant. In a certain spiritual sense, their soul to be forged among the group of everyone else, as we all go through our individual journeys. As a small peek forward into your comment about casting pearls at swine from Peterson, which, when I learned that in 2017, was such a revelatory concept for me, this idea of ultimately, this self-selecting community basically, brings their whole energy. RH: Just the observation of these different classes of people, right? A lot of my earlier Bitcoin journey back in 2014, through maybe 2017, before I really started getting more active on Twitter and more directly engaging with Bitcoin as a community, as opposed to trying to orange pill my existing group of friends, you find this interesting development. Which side is actually the bottom, or the top end of the stick? I don't know. ItвЂ™s the top end of the stick, is at the bottom end of the stick. AS: I don't think anyone can answer that. It's like, do we believe in Bitcoin? Because it's just going to happen? We know it and it's inevitable? Or is our faith and belief in it the substance of what's going to create it and pull it into reality itself and manifest out of the ethos, right? Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. You guys are going to have to quote me this entire call, I guess. Is it inevitable, or do we make it inevitable because we believe in it? It's like another scripture. This introduces another circularity that I find beautiful. CK: Otherwise, you're lying to yourself. ItвЂ™s going to get dumber and it's not going to stop. CK: Sir, sir, just reset your expectations. I open Twitter, and I'm like, I've been proven wrong again. Some days, I wake up, I'm like, the world cannot have got any dumber. I think, everyone will have experienced the lonely contrarian piece, particularly in the last, Jesus, in the last 18 months. For me, it's just really, really important.

That learning contrarian piece is just, it may feel lonely, but that is the price of being convicted to truth, and being a remnant.ДЄlong the path, we will find other, вЂњlonely contrarian pilgrimsвЂќ on the way. That's why this period of Bitcoin loops back into what we said earlier and actually, in a way on tap, just fucking read my mind and paraphrased this lonely contrarian piece with his definition of faith just then, which just shows again how we're on the same fucking page here, is that the ability to be lonely, to be ridiculed, to be laughed at and disparage whilst remaining strong, steady and convicted is the definition of faith, as per what Untapped just mentioned. It's our job to make sure humanity survives beyond the event horizon that sits ahead. The future Bitcoiner archetype, the future contrarian archetype will be fighting other battles and contending with other beasts and striving to accomplish different feats. In fact, the more time that passes, the more theyвЂ™re using Bitcoin, it will be like breathing air.

They're the individuals who are willing to be lonely, who are willing to be ridiculed, laughed at and disparaged, but still remain strong, steady and convicted.вЂќ This is what is required to transform the world from the bottom up.ДЇuture generations will use Bitcoin, because it's the obvious thing to use, much like to use a cellphone, or Internet today. It says, вЂњThe blood of the warrior flows through his and her veins.
