When I look back at myself before I joined Stacker News, I have to shake my head at how naive I was. Truth be told, I used to treat Bitcoin as a speculative asset and wanted it to pump to $69k and beyond so that my financial goals could be accomplished.   It took me some time but eventually, I figured that there is a group of Bitcoiners who are indifferent to Bitcoin’s price action as they have already incorporated it into their everyday life. You guys may run your own node, accept sats as payments for your businesses or support enterprises which accept Bitcoin. You are ever looking for ways to reduce your dependence on fiat.   Putting aside real-world bills which must be paid for in fiat, are you satisfied with your journey to live on and off Bitcoin? If so, what made you reach this point of equilibrium in your life? If not, what are the next steps you feel like you need to take?   originally posted on Stacker News
