ON BEING A GENIUS OF THE GOOD
"Let your motto be, ‘I am a genius of the good.’ And what is a genius of the good? One who has trained their mind to be free from the passions.”
—MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 7.3
Bitcoin-Centered Interpretation: A Genius of Low Time Preference
Let your motto be, "I am a genius of low time preference." And what is a genius of low time preference? One who has trained their mind to be free from the passions of the market. Free from the fear of a price drop. Free from the greed of a bull run. Free from the envy of another’s gains. The genius is not the one who perfectly times the market, but the one who calmly stacks sats, week after week, year after year, unswayed by the passions that consume the masses.

GETTING TO THE GOOD LIFE
"The good life is not in the length of days, but in the use which we make of them.”
—MONTAIGNE, ESSAYS, 1.20
Bitcoin-Centered Interpretation: Time Preference and the Good Life
The fiat system, with its constant inflation, encourages a high time preference. It tells you to spend now, to consume now, for your money will be worth less tomorrow. This is not the path to a good life. Bitcoin, as a store of value, encourages a low time preference. It allows you to save for the future, to plan, to build. The good life is not found in the frantic consumption of the present, but in the deliberate and meaningful use of your time, secure in the knowledge that your savings are protected. Lower your time preference, and you will find the path to the good life.

OUR JUDGMENTS MAKE THINGS WORSE
"If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. And it is in your power to wipe out this judgment now.”
—MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 8.47
Bitcoin-Centered Interpretation: The FUD is in Your Head
Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) are not external forces. They are judgments. A headline is just a headline. A tweet is just a tweet. It is your judgment—"This is bad for Bitcoin"—that disturbs you. But is it? The network remains secure. The code remains open. The community remains active. It is in your power to wipe out the judgment. See the external event for what it is: noise. And see the protocol for what it is: signal. The FUD is not in the world; it is in your head.

January 17th:
THE FIRST RULE OF PHILOSOPHY
"The first and most important field of philosophy is the application of principles, for instance, not to lie. The second is the proofs, for instance, why we shouldn’t lie. The third is the support of the first two, for instance, how we establish that it is a proof, and what is a proof, what is logical, what is true, what is false. Thus, the third field is necessary because of the second, and the second because of the first. The most necessary, and where we ought to rest, is the first.”
—EPICTETUS, ENCHIRIDION, 52
Bitcoin-Centered Interpretation: The First Rule: Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins
The first and most important principle of Bitcoin is self-custody. This is the application. The second is the proof: why you must hold your own keys (the history of exchange failures, the risk of censorship and seizure). The third is the technical support for the first two: how cryptography works, what a private key is, how a transaction is signed. The third is necessary for the second, and the second for the first. But where must we rest? On the first. Do not get lost in the technical weeds and forget the most necessary principle: hold your own keys.

OUR POWER OF ASSENT
"The soul is a sphere in perfect shape when it does not reach out to any external thing, nor shrink back into itself, nor is dispersed or sinks in, but is illuminated by the light by which it sees the truth, the truth of all things and the truth that is in itself.”
—MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 11.12
Bitcoin-Centered Interpretation: The Uncorrupted Ledger
A Bitcoin full node is like this perfect sphere. It does not reach out to the legacy system for validation. It does not shrink from the attacks of powerful adversaries. It is not dispersed by misinformation or sunk by market crashes. It is illuminated by a single light: the truth of the shared ledger, validated by its own rules. Our own minds should strive for this state. We must assent only to what is true—what we can verify for ourselves. This is how we achieve a state of sovereign clarity.

January 10th:
IF YOU WANT TO BE STEADY
"If you want to be steady, side with logic and reason. But if you want to be carried away, then side with wealth and property. For the one is a matter of choice, the other of chance, and while you can choose to be patient, you can’t choose to be lucky.”
—SENECA, MORAL LETTERS, 120.10
Bitcoin-Centered Interpretation: Protocol Rules vs. Market Chance
Do you want to be steady? Then side with the logic of the protocol. Understand the rules of consensus, the difficulty adjustment, the halving cycle. These are matters of reason. Do you want to be carried away? Then side with the market price. Obsess over the daily charts, the leveraged positions, the speculative fervor. This is a matter of chance. You can choose to be a patient holder, accumulating according to a rational plan. You cannot choose to be lucky in a casino. The Bitcoin Stoic sides with logic, not luck.

January 9th:
WHAT WE CONTROL AND WHAT WE DON’T
"Some things are in our control, while others are not. We control our opinion, choice, desire, aversion... We don’t control our body, property, reputation, position... Even more, the things in our control are by nature free, unhindered, and unobstructed, while those not in our control are weak, slavish, can be hindered, and are not our own.”
—EPICTETUS, ENCHIRIDION, 1.1–2
Bitcoin-Centered Interpretation: The Uncensorable Private Key
This is the core of the Bitcoin ethos. You do not control the price. You do not control the headlines. You do not control the actions of governments. These things are weak, slavish, and not your own. But your private keys? Your choice to use a privacy-preserving wallet? Your desire for a censorship-resistant world? These are in your control. They are by nature free, unhindered, and unobstructed. Bitcoin’s genius is that it takes "property"—something Epictetus listed as external and not our own—and makes it internal. When you hold your own keys, your property becomes an extension of your own mind, and thus, truly your own.

CLARIFY YOUR INTENTIONS
"Let all your efforts be directed to something, let it keep that end in view. It’s not activity that disturbs people, but false conceptions of things that drive them mad.”
—SENECA, ON TRANQUILITY OF MIND, 12.5
Bitcoin-Centered Interpretation: The Purpose of Proof-of-Work
It is not the activity of the market that drives people mad, but the false conception that its purpose is to make them rich overnight. The purpose of Bitcoin is not frenetic, speculative activity; it is the slow, deliberate, and costly securing of a global ledger through Proof-of-Work. Let this be your end in view: to align your efforts with this principle of meaningful work. Your intention is not to gamble, but to save. Your goal is not to get something for nothing, but to participate in a system where every block is earned. This clarity of purpose is the antidote to the madness of the market.

I personally haven’t dug that deep into how to protect the information, purely because the information for myself wasn’t too sensitive… I liked that the files are created in markdown and saved on your own system from a privacy standpoint because I was think they were more privacy with me, locally, rather than someone else’s server.

THE OBSTACLE IS THE WAY
“While it’s true that someone can impede our actions, they can’t impede our intentions and our attitudes, which have the power of being conditional and adaptable. For the mind adapts and converts any obstacle to its action into a means of achieving it. That which is an impediment to action is turned to advance action. The obstacle on the path becomes the way.”
