Real men buy bitcoin *AND* powerlift —
Why bitcoiners should get into powerlifting
Some reflections:
First— the love of risk and reward. My personal definition of powerlifting is attempting a lift that you have never done before, with an imminent risk. No risk, no joy. No joy and happiness without risk.
Second— ignorance is bliss. For the most part, I avoided the whole downturn a bitcoin going from the first shipped from $60,000 a coin to around $20,000 a coin, because I was just focusing on attaining my 1000 pound atlas lift.
I watch a lot of these interviews, podcasts and whatever… I see all these guys who invest in bitcoin and speculate on crypto; they are just a bunch of skinny fat dweebs. Even the ones that do look like they have a bit of muscle on them, the way they talk is effeminate, uncertain, and they simply like to just rehash what other people have said, rather than commanding their own voice.
Testosterone & bitcoin
Another big thing; having higher testosterone is beneficial to investing in bitcoin. Why? You need to have the guts, the balls, the chutzpah to even attempt any of this in the first place.
This is where I discovered that for the most part, bodybuilding is no longer interesting to me because it is just a bunch of pseudoscience and witchcraft, supplements and steroids in order to get you to be big and muscular. But this is more of a grinding approach rather than a courage based one.
Conviction?
I think the obsession with numbers is typically bad, but at least it is a barometer. For example with powerlifting, the great upside is just stacking another 2.5 pound potato chip every single time you lift.
