10 Reasons Bitcoin is like Meditation 1. "Experience precedes judgement": Both can look allusive from the outside; both reward those who decide to experience before they judge 2. They increase freedom: Bitcoin increases freedom on the material plane of existence. Meditation increases freedom in your own mind 3. They reward low time preference: Some new health-fad is to meditation as memecoin is to Bitcoin: in each, patience and sidestepping self-serving hype is rewarded 4. Deep is the rabbit hole: After 1000s of hours, dedicated practitioners still feel like beginners 5. Proof of Work: True mastery in meditation or Bitcoin economics demands genuine time and effort. Shortcuts are illusions 6. Portable: Your mind is like your keys: Essential, portable, and accessible globally 24/7. 7. Never Too Late: Whether you missed the 1 BTC or think you're 'bad at relaxing,' the perfect time to start is now 8. They magnify self-sovereignty: Both inner sovereignty & outer sovereignty share deep roots: stack sats and stillness 9. Network Effect: Gains strength and value as more people join in 10. Volatility Resilience: The longer you do each, the more resilient and strong you become in the face of volatility (of price/ outside events) (price in Bitcoin's case, outside events in meditation's case) I run a meditation session almost every Friday 7pm Pacific Time, online (for Bitcoiners) * 20 mins for the meditation session, then you can drop off, or stick around to ask questions * Anonymous/ pseudonymous guests welcome * Drop a comment or message me if you'd like to join the party(Daniel Batten)
