leave your ego at the door with bitcoin
You have to leave your ego at the door, period, I should think. Hell, if anything, bitcoin profits tend to breed egotism, no?
Besides that though, crypto has us at a fork in the road. We haven't reached it yet but we can see it from here. One fork (heheheh, crypto. Fork. Unintentional pun) -- one fork leads to a world where the banksters and the dominant forms of government have less power over us than ever and we are free to make our own economic way, our own financial rules and make a fairer better world.
The other fork is where they take the reins of the cryptocurrency revolution and tax and track every single one of us thanks to the all-encompassing nature of the blockchain to a degree that was incomprehensible even 15 years ago.
We don't want the other fork. The other fork screws us irreversibly.
