1. The ultimate goal of life is happiness. There are three sources of happiness: instant gratification, flow experience, and a sense of accomplishment. Happiness is the sum of instant gratification, flow experience, and a sense of accomplishment that we gain in this life.
2. Whether it is HODLing Bitcoin or minimalism, they are all means of pursuing happiness.
3. The essence of HODLing Bitcoin is nothing more than sacrificing the instant gratification of the first few years in exchange for longer-term instant gratification in the future. Therefore, HODLing Bitcoin is necessarily a matter for young people. Old people like Buffett really don't need to HODL.
4. The essence of minimalism is to see clearly the essence of things - you can't bring them with you when you're born, and you can't take them away when you die. That is to say, even if you buy it, you must return it to the world on the day you die.
5. Therefore, any item, whether bought or rented, is essentially rented. We rent it from this world. The important question for us is not whether to buy or rent. The important question is, to gain a happy experience through its use.
6. In any case, the sense of happiness (instant gratification) that can be obtained through objects is a relatively primary sense of happiness. A higher sense of happiness, such as: flow experience (forgetting the existence of time by immersing yourself in doing things), a sense of accomplishment (completing things that others cannot complete, and at the same time are of great significance to the world), cannot be solved by money or objects.
7. However, money is also crucial for obtaining the latter two kinds of happiness. Because only when we achieve financial freedom, have no worries about life, and completely forget about making money, can we more easily focus on whether things themselves can bring us flow experience and a sense of accomplishment.
8. HODL Bitcoin, a more beautiful life.
