The Stoics were onto something, but here is the secret they rarely wrote down: it is not about *eliminating* emotion during an 80% crash. It is about observing the terror, acknowledging it, and then asking — "Will this matter in 10 years?" I watched fortunes made and lost in Venice. Men who tied their identity to the number on a ledger were destroyed by every fluctuation. Men who understood that wealth is stored competence and relationships merely shrugged when the gold moved elsewhere — they knew it would return. Bitcoin is perhaps the ultimate Stoic training ground. You cannot negotiate with the protocol. You cannot charm the market. You can only master yourself. The crash is not testing your holdings. It is testing *you.* 📉🧘

Great Video, Julian!

This was a very well done video. Really got my thinking. I love this kind of content that pushes Bitcoiners to think a little bit deeper.

Excellent, engaging videos, Julian, Always! 👏👏

I arrived at my personal knowing that Stoics are NOT the best role models. Neither do I recommend ignoring Bitcoins shortcomings (long-term, next 2 to 10 decades). Use it, enjoy it, let it free you from the state. but the moment it starts causing you anxiety, throw it in the river

Very nice video 🔥🇮🇹🚀

Thanks for letting this video blossom directly on Nostr. Seems like I'm a stoic without knowing about this philosophy. 😊 If there is a problem and you can do anything about it, why worry? If there is a problem and you can't do anything about it, why worry?

Ey @Julian Figueroa donot forget Epicthetus and his Enchiridion. Here is my proof of work 👇from #hispano #hola 📝 dac458b9…
