Scrolling through my timeline, I observed a guy who stated I orange-pilled him a while back. He enjoyed drugs and betting at the time. He heard me preach about Bitcoin and he entered it with near spiritual eagerness.
Then, under the impact of micro-dosing Orange-Pill Truth, some natural sunlight, bitter truth, and the sweet high of Orange Enlightenment, his life reversed. He conquered his drugs and betting dependency and ended up being a Bitcoin Maximalist.
This makes ideal sense — and it speaks with Bitcoin’s higher function in society than simply being Perfect Money.
This is the guy’s tweet: I highlighted the appropriate bits and by all ways, follow him:

“Who or what orange-pilled me? It was a mix of betting, @maxkeiser, and drugs. Let me Explain.
First it was betting. I utilized to be an expert online poker gamer. The United States federal government took that far from me in 2011 by prohibiting it. Soon after, on the 2+2 poker online forum, there was talk of a brand-new, uncensorable currency that might have the ability to prevent the United States’s restriction on betting.
Enter @MaxKeiser circa 2013. He was on a podcast called London Reel when Bitcoin was just $100 that I viewed.
Max struck it out of the freaking park. He set out the case for Bitcoin in the most significant method.
Silk Road onboarded an emergency of Bitcoiners.
It’s the exact same for all brand-new innovations: Drugs, betting, and pornography are entrances to the future. The video cassette, for instance, owed its preliminary success to pornography. Early personal computer adoption, likewise. I keep in mind in France, when I was living there in the early ‘90s, they had Minitel, the world’s very first big-time online website prior to when America took it over with the internet.
Minitel was presented in 1980. So what occurred? Why didn’t France eliminate it with this thing? Another French concept that withered since their capital markets are rotten cheese; they have no NASDAQ equivalent.
Minitel got its preliminary increase from the sex trade, nevertheless. I remember sticker labels plastered on phone cubicles with Minitel varieties of sex employees. The hookers on the Rue Saint-Denis and Pigalle at first got their knickers in a twist at the abrupt increase of amateur competitors, however they rapidly accepted the brand-new innovation.
Heck, even the Bible has a saucy story about naked Adam getting gaslit by a naked Eve with an apple.
FLASH CUT: Steve Jobs and his Apple smart device and the increase of the mobile web.
FLASH CUT: Pornhub demolishing a substantial percent of web traffic.
Now we have the apparently unstoppable increase of AI and deepfake pornography that takes A great deal of energy.
This is why Bitcoin’s hashrate is so high: It’s fighting AI and pornography in the worldwide scramble for energy.
Look, the 3 main vices — betting, drugs, and pornography — are ensured moneymakers and all have substantial market capitalizations on the world’s stock exchange as openly traded business. New apps that blend and match confronts with naked bodies are gonna be substantial cash spinners. Still think about your kindergarten instructor? Well, now with AI, you can discover some old grade school yearbook pictures and begin a steamy, simulated tryst on your tricycle and a $0.05 container of chocolate milk.
I believe AI is the Devil Dog, RingDings, Twinkies, and Yodels of infantile intimacy dreams. It will get rid of the pester of INCELS. Maybe it will even stop all those mass shootings by annoyed incels, approximately these midwits believe.
In the other corner, we have Bitcoin, the hero.
It’s a fight in between AI and Bitcoin for energy supremacy. That’s why Bitcoin’s hashrate is so high. We should win the energy race with AI and fappers.
I have faith we’ll win. We see our much better selves shown in Bitcoin and it motivates us to be much better individuals. This is what Satoshi desires.
Unless you’re born irreparably bad, in which case looking at Bitcoin’s procedure highlights your worst characteristics. Like the witch in Snow White who looked into the mirror and asked who’s the fairest of them all, and the mirror shot back, “You ain’t it”.
The witch goes bananas and attempts to eliminate the forest-wandering hottie in the tight skirt. This backfires, and karma kicks her ass.
This is what Bitcoin does: It kicks the ass of the karmically misaligned.
The spirit of Bitcoin. The spirit of Karma.
Bitcoin recalls at us from a best, magnificent angle. Not a mirror image, however something much deeper, more cutting. Like a cosmetic surgeon’s scalpel into the soul.
I was roaming in a museum in Mexico City a couple of years ago with Stacy. An display was being kept in the lobby of the reserve bank and I stumbled upon a setup that I will state was the most gobbed-smackingly finest art I’d ever seen in a museum. For me, anyhow: I had an individual discovery.
What I saw were figurines set down on actions leading down below flooring level.
Facing the figurines was a mirror. The figures began on the leading action, dealing with one method, and as they stepped down — or were taken down — they metamorphosed into things. Sometimes insane things.
An common figure on the leading action may become a pineapple. One may become a bow-tie using aardvark.
What was taking place? My analysis is that throughout life, and after that after death, we — the figurines on the actions — get closer to being and seeing who we actually are. Who we’ve actually been all this time. The act of ending up being perpetual. Each of our day-to-day 60,000 choices in aggregate continues into our postnatal presence.
The journey of life starts and we’re complete strangers to ourselves. Life continues. We begin to understand ourselves. This can be unpleasant, so we embrace personalities to conceal who we are. But the personalities resemble a coat of paint that fades. We placed on various masks. We shed the affectations. We deal with life courageously as who we are. But it’s still unpleasant. We call it knowledge.
Then death. And the trip of self continues. We’re on a continuum. The impression of life and death bleeds away. The artifice of time gets junked in favor of existing. We see the circular nature of things, the fractalization of whatever.
William Blake gets it:
“To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.”
Whereas T. S. Eliot is a bit of a buzzkill:
“I will show you fear in a handful of dust.”
Bitcoin resembles this. It accelerate the procedure of self-awareness to the point of Bitcoin Singularity on a specific basis. The cumulative social surprise comes right after.
You can be like William Blake and be non-stop positive, like Stacy Herbert states. Or you can be drippy, like a Brit, distributing in a nowheresville shire club, cursing Man United all the time. The Brits will never ever get Bitcoin, by the method.
For Sam Bankman-Fried, Bitcoin accelerate his life of slovenly, not-so-“grippy” sex sleaze and monetary criminal activities, and an entire profession of taking and self-debasement takes place in simply a couple of brief years.
In the case of somebody who is ethically lined up with the universes, Bitcoin can provide the sensation of immediate nirvana. Michael Saylor is somebody who was browsing his whole, long profession for Bitcoin to appear to satisfy his imagine engineering a much better future, and after that it occurred.
The guy on my timeline, the one I orange-pilled, is climbing up down those actions dealing with the mirror and becoming his real self. A procedure that continues after life.
Orange-pilling has actually never ever been more vital as the world increases in flames.
We call it GIABO — Global Insurrection Against Banker Occupation.
It began throughout Occupy Wall Street and now in Argentina we have Javier Milei — a Bitcoin fan, a fan of Hayek, and enthusiast of the Austrian school of economics. This is the political pushback versus main lenders we require, and GIABO is acquiring strength. I saw a vigil being held at the Argentine reserve bank throughout Milei’s inauguration. He is euthanizing it.
We are on the limit of a Renaissance 2.0.
This will be introduced with Bitcoin.
Look in the mirror and you’ll see what I imply.
