The ethos of Bitcoin

I suppose at this point, don’t invest in things that you think will just make a bunch of money, but rather, invest in things in which you have a strong moral or ethical imperative to?

For example, if I could promise you a 1000% return if you invested in the evil Philip Morris corporation, would you do it? Of course not!

Same thing with the evil Coca-Cola corporation which might have indirectly caused more deaths on the planet, than all evil things combined. Yet nobody waves a red flag at them.

For example, I think the reason we shouldn’t trust Warren Buffett is because he invest in Coca-Cola, and drinks the stuff himself. Trust no investor who does not have a demigod physique like ERIC KIM.


Why is the morals or ethics important?

I think I never really expected or anticipated… Much of what I am teaching Seneca right now, at 3 1/2 years old, is actually centered around morality, ethics, principles, philosophy and lines of thinking.

For example, cynical was telling me, talking about race cars and pollution and stuff… And he is trying to understand that from a moral imperative, I am very anti-pollution, and race cars are not good because they cause a lot of pollution.

Also, he told me that I like Hybrid cars because Hybrid cars don’t create pollution. And I told him he is half right, a hybrid car like a Prius still has tiny bit of tailpipe admissions, but still it is not 100% clean.

Real environmentalism?

I am a Boy Scout Eagle Scout, I know everything about the environment.

I think there are propaganda self-interest groups out there, and then, there are practical lived realities.

For example, one of the biggest things I hate on the planet is secondhand cigarette smoke, and also I hit the smell of weed especially in public.  and also, tailpipe emissions, very toxic. It immediately gives me a headache and also makes me super mad.

There is a real causal effect here, asshole on the street smokes a cigarette, exhales his cigarette smoke, I inhale it, and I immediately get a headache, and I start coughing. This is causation not correlation. 

I think a new activity or a new assignment for myself is whenever I see anybody smoke, whether man woman or dog, I’m going to ask him nicely to please not smoke here. Because your secondhand smoke causes me harm. And I don’t like it.

I think there is a strong moral, health, public imperative here.


Why doesn’t anyone speak up anymore?

I think our modern day society, we are a bunch of pussies. We never speak our mind, and we will simply give people dirty stairs, or act in strange passive aggressive behaviors. My simple theory is just speak your damn mind, even if you might be seen as unreasonable or an asshole or whatever. Better to be an ancient Greek hero, like an Achilles, Unreasonable beyond anything, and be a bad person, rather than holding pent-up resentment?

In fact, I think the whole strategy of speaking your mind even if you’re in the wrong is a good one. Whenever people censor themselves, this is bad.

In fact, to simply not speak your mind is an active cowardice. The true courage is speaking your mind.  Even if you are wrong unethical, bad or whatever.

Also this is where Stoicism is a bad; don’t become a dark morose stoic person. Rather, better to be a gay happy monster rather than a sentimental bore (Galliani)– or better to be a happy gay Achilles than a self-righteous loser.
