Day 209: The birth of a Bitcoiner

The fate of entire civilizations has been tied around its economic system, and the economic system tied to what storage of value utilizes, time and time again history has proven that using unsound money, and also centralized money, brings forth calamity in societies while societies that utilized the so called 'hard money' flourished, and here it comes, Bitcoin is a solution we all longed for. Hard money. I am reading, wich I suggest, The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking. by Saifedean Ammous.

The current money system is a scam, and that's why there are so many scammers on Earth right now, because, why put any effort into doing something if you can't store value anywhere safely for the long term? Better scam some. Bitcoin changes that.

It is interesting how planning to get Bitcoin, and even in getting a little of it, already changes the perspective because I start thinking long term instead of simply spending my paycheck.

There should be testimonials of how aquiring Bitcoin has changed people's life. I don't think it is only because it price is rising, but because people start thinking long term, taking more care of themselves and being more content knowing there is a future for them.

Myself, today I bought a little bit of Bitcoin, and started to do some calculations of how long would it take for me to get one whole coin. It makes you think, that really it takes a lot of effort. Then I went and prepared dinner for myself, which I hadn't done in a few days, it even made me want to shave! lol

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to investigate the relationship between what kind of money is used by a society and its societal impact

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to think long term

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see that there is more than living paycheck to paycheck

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see that there is a solution for society further than any philosophy

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to 'investigate everything and keep what is good'

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to want a better future for myself

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to investigate why I spend all that I earn

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to doubt Bitcoin without studying it

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see that Bitcoin will continue with me or without me

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see that changing the money changes the perspective

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to live for the short term

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see that thinking long term is only possible with tools such as Bitcoin that allow for that 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to want others to convince me of Bitcoin without looking into it myself

Day 208: Speaking Up - Don't Hold Back

 

When something bothers me, and I have to speak up, at times I tend not to, unless it is too much. But this then keeps on accumulating until I find that I have to speak up about everything, which I think is the way, to speak up whenever I see something is not aligned and that if I don't speak up it will only get worse.

This can be in personal relationships as well as with regards to this world.

For example I think I get too little gas money from my colleagues, in relation to what others recieve for the same trip, but I do not speak up. Or I see some common sense perspective in relation to the world but I do not share, for instance I think Bitcoin is a great thing, but I don't say it.

Bitcoin for instance, it is a great thing, but without the world changing, it is not that great, because we see a pattern of very rich people already dominating ownership of Bitcoin or at least being capable of owning vast amounts. So the have and have nots pattern repeats itself. So the solution would be in Education more so, because people Equal in Education cannot be fooled and are one vote each that cannot be manipulated.

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to speak up.

I forgive myeself that I have accepted and allowed myself to hold back

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fear speaking up

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see, realise and understand that speaking up is necessary

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see, realise and understand that speaking up is the only way

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to not see, realise and understand that speaking up might get easier with time

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see, realise and understand that I am the creator of my life

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see, realise and understand that I am capable of directing my life

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see, realise and understand that unless I speak up, nothing in my world will change, and certainly my voice will not be heard

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see, realise and understand that I am indeed capable of speaking up

I commit myself to speak up

I commit myself to take a breath and see if what I am about to say is within the principle of what is best for all and thus for me

Day 207: Inattentive type of ADHD for Work and Study

At work I wasn't reaching efficiency, that is, I was going too slow. I didn't know why, eventhough I tried to motivate myself to go faster, nothing seemed to work. Until I researched about ADD/ADHD and I saw clearly what was happening at work: I was distracting myself with everything and anything, thus being slower in my productivity. I did by myself a screening test for ADHD and it came out that I can have the inattentive type. This means that I get easily distracted whenever I am doing something that doesn't particularly interest me.

This might explain why I have not been able so far to graduate university, which I am no longer doing. I would repeat the same subjects again and again but because I would find impossible to put myself to study, I would never pass them. Or if I put myself to study, I would get distracted with something else, and end up not studying.

Now that I know I am prone to get distracted, I can focus at work, and get the job done, this time, very effectively and efficiently. I do this by focusing on the task at hand and blocking any and every distraction.

What a game changer.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to judge myself for apparently being unable to study.

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see, realise and understand that to know myself is utterly important.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to judge myself as a failure for not being able to pass at university.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to judge myself as slow at my workplace without seeing, realising and understanding what was the cause of it.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see, realise and understand that I am not a failure.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see, realise and understand that there is always a root cause for everything.

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see, realise and understand that if I am not succeeding at life there is a root cause for it.

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see, realise and understand that I can find my root cause as to why I am failing at study and work and life in general.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see, realise and understand that if I didn't have a problem, I would be naturally successful.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fear I cannot manage ADD without medication.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not trust myself that I can overcome ADD without medication.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to want a 'magical pill' to solve all my problems.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to judge brain-related medication as bad.

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see, realise and understand that I have to test everything, and that if that means trying medication I can do that.

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see that it is not all about medication when facing ADD.
