1/The Art of the HODL
Hodling bitcoins is a psychological endurance trial. A seemingly endless march through despair, longing punctuated by moments of euphoria and glory.
Hodling bitcoins is a psychological endurance trial. A seemingly endless march through despair, longing punctuated by moments of euphoria and glory.
2/Bitcoin elicits a strange concoction of voluntary painful decisions and actions. The simplest is HODLing through stomach churning drops, grinding bear markets and an endless stream of FUD.
3/Hodlers seek hopium in memes.
4/Wen moon? 
5/They vow to never sell in the face of enormous losses. Rekt? Continue the hodl. I hodl, you hold, we all hodl.
6/The rabbit hole provides no answers just more questions. Reality is upended and everything you understood about money is false. Learned economic constructs are counterfeit knowledge.
7/Dollar purchasing power has evaporated.
8/The government makes no qualms about its tactics!
9/Hodlers persevere. Consumption behavior is altered, like drug withdrawal - painful, not particularly satisfying, and at odds with most of their social sphere. Spending is deferred through a fantastic set of convictions.
10/But sir, my bitcoin for a citadel!
11/The HODL generates a new shared new language.
12/High time preference collapses into a series of deliberate low time preference decisions culminating in a singular, divining principle: #stacksats.
13/Weak hands seemingly gift untold riches to new hodlers. Yet they themselves are subject to the trial.
14/Capitulation is simple. Sell. Yet this entails a hard reset to the default state - once again incarcerated as a subject in the fiat global supermax with full knowledge of what could have been.
15/Bitcoin induces a present-future path that becomes extraordinarily narrow, clear to you but opaque & confusing to others. The path is circumscribed by an ever shifting landscape requiring a relentless will to bear the burden of a greater good for lesser beings. Even nocoiners.
16/Hodlers relinquish self and seek a new set of truths. Transmuted, leap headlong into the hero’s journey.

17/Hodlers gain a unique vision & see past tests of spirit and character. They break from old stagnant myths, statism, and fiat’s shackles - emerge cleansed, forged by deep conviction and imbued with values worthy of Bitcoin.
18/Holders excise financial errors and abandon Keyensian thought, seek to attain truth as it exists and discard the crutches of a broken financial system.
19/Bitcoin is the individual’s journey. It forges hodlers as hard and sound as the money they have embraced.
