Summary

I join Vivian Cheng to discuss why the Bitcoin Community is often mistaken as a cult, what the core values of Bitcoin are, if we can ever have enough bitcoin, balancing stacking Sats vs living in the now, the importance of time preference, and how to find courage and motivation during times of adversity. Vivian Cheng is a Bitcoin advocate who elevates Bitcoin companies through marketing and PR. She is also a producer of “Bitcoin Conference Asia” and host of "Life with Bitcoin" - a lifestyle podcast that focuses on personal transformations through the lens of bitcoin, asking the very question "what is it like to live as a Bitcoiner?"

0:15.6	Bitcoin and its community give off this cultish vibe? I mean, I'm probably doing it right now. The man who
0:23.8	blames others has yet to begin his journey. The man who blames himself has started down the path.

0:39.4	Very hard question. First of all, it's just a mystery. One does not become enlightened by imagining
0:46.7	figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. I see central banking for me as that
0:53.2	biased immorality in the world. It's something I want to educate people about. I see central banking for me as that highest immorality in the world. It's something I want
0:55.9	to educate people about. I want to make conscious. It's a very unconscious institution that's
1:02.6	corrupting the world. What's your experience confronting our shadow self without becoming consumed by then?
1:10.7	A great question.

1:38.1	that really gave me a different perspective of how Bitcoin can be viewed from the perspective,
1:46.3	philosophy, culture, because I'm not a numbers person, I'm not a technical person, even though I've already come into the
1:51.4	Bitcoin community, I kind of struggle to understand the impact and find a personal angle of how
1:58.2	I can contribute to and how I can understand such a deep and complex technology.
2:07.3	And through your conversation, it was the starting point of me understanding, oh, this is more
