We covered important bits of my Bitcoin journey, some of the key insights that led me to write Unified Creation Energy Theory, the dangers of becoming too bullish on hope and on Bitcoin, and the struggles of manifesting creative potential into economic feasibility.

Perhaps we should do a round 2 at some point though, as there was a lot we didn't touch upon, some more Bitcoin-related, some a little less:

• Taking out a loan (like many of us, I had 0 savings) to buy Bitcoin (and other "crypto") in 2017 and getting seriously lucky with timing
• The origins of Kontext as a nym and an anonymous rapper, and my first proper attempt at taking it to a professional level around 2018-2020
• Becoming super bullish and way too complacent in 2021, buying into the idea of never selling (but continuously borrowing fiat against my coins)
• Losing most of my stack in the beginning of 2022 as the market turned
• Partly as a result of that - and partly from realizing I’m no good as an altcoin trader - becoming a BTC maxi that same year
• Doxxing myself and getting on social media, largely inspired by the network effects of Bitcoin and trying to emulate that in my own life
• Taking a second serious shot at becoming a rapper in Australia in 2022
• Realizing that Bitcoin mimics the nature of reality itself - which was the key insight to starting to write Unified Creation Energy Theory
• Ego inflation while writing Unified Creation Energy Theory in early 2023
• Multiple ego deaths, in different forms, before and after that
• Starting to work on a Bitcoin-based gift card business in an effort to provide more straightforward, tangible value to people, as opposed to the much more subjective value of music and writing, as it slowly dawned upon me that those were not going to bring me instant fame, glory, or riches
• Listening to an audiobook version of Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" on a roadtrip through Australia in 2023 and realizing I had been writing something very similar in my own journals
• Making the decision to publish my own collection of writings in 2024 and launching A Stoic Resurrection in an effort to prime myself for the publication while building a potential audience
• Finally launching the gift card business Satoshee at the end of 2024 (what was supposed to take 6 months turned out to be 1.5 years), with high hopes and expectations, but struggling to gain traction, customers and/or investors
• Launching Open Source Culture as a division of Satoshee Strategy, with the intention of supporting open-source work in a wider array of domains in addition to code, while creating synergy between a for-profit company and a non-profit initiative
• Publishing a collection of my "notes to self" in the form of a hardcover book ("A Stoic Resurrection: Notes from the Journal of a Modern Stoic") in mid-2025 alongside an expanded collection of self-designed merch on Kontext Store of Value
• Much like my music, essays, and SATOSH.EE, the book and merch store launch still didn't result in commercial success (yet)

All in all, the journey is a continuous process of death and rebirth, of walking a tightrope between ambition and humility. A mission of faith and resilience, bringing the ego into the service of the spirit. There are no guarantees, no promises, and no safety nets. Ultimately, what matters is Proof of Work in spreading Love & Freedom. Onward.
