So assuming that you know with like 100% certainty that bitcoin is going to keep going up forever,  and also knowing that certainly at like the month to three month level it will always be volatile,… some things:

First, you’re actually kind of ironically enough praying for more volatility. as an investor, and also perhaps as a trader,  I don’t really want the price of the underlying bitcoin to be stable and to be chopping sideways for like three months on end. Technically while you were desire is more spikes really really high and really really low frequently over a short period of time, ideally forever.

And then, like let me tell you with 100% certainty that it will be insanely volatile like MSTR, forever. Let us see that we’ve even cranked up the volatility 2x, 3x and 4X bitcoin … like having MSTU or MSTX.  assuming that 2x levered long MSTR instrumental at least be around for another five years or so, isn’t that the optimal strategy?  meaning, isn’t the optimal strategy to just hold MSTU and MSTX long term,,, like for at least 3 years for insanely huge returns?

So there’s this Zen Taoist principle –>

the world is covered with thorns, but you have the option of putting on sandals.

The general idea is that in the world, it’s like almost impossible to navigate all of it, without any sort of downside. It is both necessary and also inevitable.

Then suppose the nuance is trying to think and consider that, what if actually… Not only is it necessary but it is also positively desirable? 

no thorns no joy or glory

So the unorthodox thought is in regards to thinking about and considering upside without downsides etc.

I think a lot of people desire upside without downsides, which is intelligent but, from a physics perspective impossible?

For example, let us say that you want to maximize your hedonic sexual pleasure. Technically if you want to do that, long periods of abstinence followed by activity is actually better than the boredom and monotony daily predictability?

I think it’s also the logic of gambling or the lottery. The general idea is that, people get a thrill because it is unpredictable. Perhaps the same thing with sports. Or sports betting.

why do we want to strip the volatility away from everything?

So what instead, the actual goal is to add volatility and maximize velocity and volatility? This is the whole underlying ethos or philosophy or concept behind bitcoin, MSTR strategy, Meta planet etc. A very very simple yet paradigm shifting idea,–>

more volatility is better.

When we try to strip away the volatility from everything, life becomes boring same thing, uninteresting?

”you gotta hold it to believe it”

also

”this is what the future feels like”

A greater moral imperative… If in fact it is true that bitcoin is antitoxic, and that it could address a lot of of the toxic social social media decay in the planet, and in the world… Perhaps perhaps I should campaign for bitcoin harder.

so I believe the number one critical problem in the world is in regards to distractions. You kind of already know what your downside weaknesses is in terms of superfluous distractions, but then is more important is your commitment and intelligence and effort to fight and resist those distractions.

so the first thought is practice. Of course things are going to tempt you. But having the discipline to stay focused, eyes ahead, and into yourself in your own world is critical.

Second, once again — building willpower is like a muscle. To practice every single day and daily it is a practice that is ongoing. Of course there are certain up days and down days and certain days you will slip and that is fine. But you just keep practicing..

The third one is actually genuinely believe that willpower is a concept. If you don’t believe in the idea of willpower you will never build it.

So I think what day is very interesting about bitcoin it is very low frequency, indestructible immortal god capital, that doesn’t need to be moved around much.
