No joy and happiness without risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second\u00e2\u20ac\u201d 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/videos.files.wordpress.com\/Kb9SPvKD\/gx010759.mov\">my 1000 pound atlas lift<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> I watch a lot of these interviews, podcasts and whatever\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testosterone &amp; bitcoin <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conviction?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-jetpack-videopress jetpack-videopress-player\" style=\"\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"jetpack-videopress-player__wrapper\"> <iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='500' height='281' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/Kb9SPvKD?cover=1&amp;autoPlay=1&amp;controls=1&amp;loop=1&amp;muted=1&amp;persistVolume=0&amp;playsinline=0&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;useAverageColor=1&amp;hd=0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1674852142'><\/script><\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real men buy bitcoin *AND* powerlift \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Why bitcoiners should get into powerlifting Some reflections: First\u00e2\u20ac\u201d the love of risk and reward.
