Becoming the best version of yourself is the greatest contribution to Bitcoin!
If we recognize Bitcoin's values, we will definitely want to do something for it, especially when Bitcoin brings us substantial economic returns.
So, many people will start to promote Bitcoin tirelessly, which is normal; if there's something good, it should be shared. However, as we discussed earlier, avoid 'pulling in people'.
First of all, no matter how many people you pull in, it will not affect Bitcoin's outcome. In other words, whether Bitcoin succeeds or not has nothing to do with how many people you bring in. Bringing people in only affects short-term prices and has no other use, while someone determined to hold for 20 years won't care about short-term prices.
Secondly, if you truly reach a state of having no attachment to coins, you wouldn't even consider the idea of 'pulling in people'. Imagine, would you be talking about Renminbi every day, endlessly urging others to hold Renminbi? If you do that, you are insane. Isn't saving a matter of course? Does it need to be mentioned every day?
Again, in fact, you can't convince many people. It's not that your reasoning is poor, but that you are not strong enough. When Jack Ma speaks, everything he says is considered valuable, while when you speak, others dismiss it. Why bother making a fool of yourself?
If you really believe in Bitcoin, then quietly buy it and hold it for the long term.
From my observations in the crypto circle, those who are eager to 'pull in people' usually do not last long. The reason for being keen on 'pulling in people' is fear—fear of a downturn, fear of collapse, fear of going to zero. The more afraid they are, the more they want to pull in more people.
In fact, **persisting in holding coins is the greatest contribution to Bitcoin, which means our recognition of Bitcoin's value requires great courage and wisdom.** So, we can really do nothing but hold coins.
If we really want to do something for Bitcoin, then let's strive to achieve the best version of ourselves.
This logic is very simple; each of us is a Bitcoin node. The stronger we are, the stronger Bitcoin becomes, and the more robust the entire Bitcoin network is.
Regardless of our profession, we should continue to do what we are supposed to do and do it to the best of our ability, cultivating ourselves into industry leaders. When people talk about a certain matter, the first person they think of is you.
This has two obvious benefits. First, we are reliable, and our opinions will be valued; second, our income will grow rapidly, allowing us to mobilize more social resources.
The more powerful we are, the greater our help to Bitcoin. Even if we never mention Bitcoin, at least we won't slander it like many others do. Just Buffett alone has caused tens of thousands of points of damage to Bitcoin. We certainly shouldn't hope for Buffett to change his mind and support Bitcoin; we should strive to surpass Buffett through our own efforts.
I recently discovered an interesting phenomenon. Many influential figures from other fields are following me and reading my articles, but they neither like nor comment. I actually understand them; they don't want others to know they are paying attention to Bitcoin.
What they have experienced, I have experienced as well. In life, I never mention Bitcoin, and they probably do the same as me. It doesn't matter if we don't mention it; just focus on being the best version of ourselves, and that is enough.
When we are not powerful enough, some truths do not need to be explained to others; even if explained, no one will believe them. When we are powerful enough, we don't need to explain anything, and we can change others' misconceptions.
The wealthier we become, the greater our demand for Bitcoin. If every supporter of Bitcoin can increase their off-exchange earning capabilities tenfold, the price of Bitcoin will naturally rise tenfold. We should use our value to enhance Bitcoin, rather than hoping Bitcoin will enhance our value.
According to the logic of most people, my continued increase in Bitcoin holdings now is meaningless. Although my income has significantly increased over the past few years, the price of Bitcoin has risen dozens of times. Even if I desperately increase my Bitcoin holdings, it hardly affects my total holdings.
However, I still choose to continue increasing my holdings because I have a Bitcoin-centric mindset; who would ever think their savings are already enough and stop saving? In other words, the more my income rises, the greater my need for value storage becomes.
Considering the zero-risk of Bitcoin, my actions are actually irrational. But this is my way of giving back to Bitcoin—never exiting, letting my investment coexist with Bitcoin. To put it more simply, I don't want this money; I just want to see if this experiment can succeed.
The reason I dare to do this is that my income has increased, and I no longer care about my investments, even if they all go to zero. Therefore, the more affluent we are, the less we fear losses, and our confidence in holding Bitcoin will grow.
In summary, rather than spending time 'pulling in people', it is better to strive to become a better version of yourself. Instead of bringing in a few weak nodes, it is better to make yourself a strong node. Making yourself an incredibly powerful Bitcoin enthusiast is the greatest contribution to Bitcoin.
Moreover, **if your goal is to become the best version of yourself, then your family will not oppose you holding Bitcoin.** I know many people have conflicts with their families over Bitcoin. If you think your family opposes you holding Bitcoin because they don't understand it, then you are very mistaken. What they are truly worried about is that you lack skills, have no ambition, and are deeply involved in gambling or pyramid schemes.
If you work hard and live positively, your family will trust you. In this case, if you take out a little spare money to buy Bitcoin, even if they find out, they will not oppose it. Because you have always been reliable, and the fact that you choose to buy Bitcoin means that Bitcoin is also reliable.
Only when you are reliable enough can you provide credibility guarantees for Bitcoin. My family supports me, and I haven't even needed to explain anything.
So, work hard. One day, you will find that even without Bitcoin, you are still a successful person, an ambitious person, a person of high taste, and a person who is not short of money.
Having Bitcoin is like adding wings to a tiger. Bitcoin will amplify your dreams, and when you find yourself holding a significant amount of wealth, many things you previously dared not even think about will become increasingly achievable.
At that time, you can choose to use the wealth in your hands to achieve bigger dreams, to promote society, and to benefit humanity.
If you are such a person, and Bitcoin is in your hands, that is truly its great fortune.
