Fanatics, evangelists, sects, warriors, obsessives, voluntary participants in a financial bubble, idiots, visionaries, millionaires, passionate, soldiers of the cause, revolutionaries, change-makers, destroyers of the planet, fraudulent, buffoons, idealists, romantics, geniuses, persistent... We all need something to believe in

I lost all faith in gold, in its creed too. I told the angels investors they could sing their songs to someone new. I lost all trust in central finance, I watched my heart turn to crypto. I thought that I was left to walk this wicked world alone. Tonight I’ll dust myself off and suck my gut in. I’ll face the night and I’ll pretend I got something to believe in.

And I had lost touch with reason. I watched life criticize the truth. Been waiting for a miracle and I know you have too. Though I know I won’t win I’ll take this one on the chin and we’ll raise a toast and I’ll pretend I got something to believe in.

If I don’t believe in bitcoin, how can I believe Elon? If I don’t believe in blockchain, how can I believe the vogue? If there’s nothing but survival, how can I believe in law? In a world that gives you nothing, we need something to believe in.

The goal of orange pilling someone has nothing to do with drugs. It is the notion that bitcoin will inevitably become the global reserve asset, while converting people to believe in the bitcoin standard. But, how do Bitcoiners expect this to occur if the vast majority of people still fail to understand what Bitcoin is and truly stands for. Thus, the Bitcoin orange pill theory was formed.+

I’ve heard so many people saying ‘GO ORANGE OR ENJOY STAYING POOR’ and I don’t like it. I think it’s a presumptuous, vain and stupid thing to say.

Also, they say LOOK BEYOND THE OBVIOUS AND SEE HOW DEEP THE RABBIT HOLE GOES. This seems a little bit more rational on the likes of the COGITO, ERGO SUM, the inception of the Scientific Method.

Let’s doubt about bitcoin. That’s something smart to do.
