I'm still living very comfortably within the system and accumulating bitcoin as a hedge. I haven't hodled my stash out of ideological commitment, I hodled it because I didn't need to touch it, since the fiat stream is covering my needs and I'm generally a contented family guy. I've played with freedom tech because it's fun and reinforces my cypherpunk larp, and zapped some developers as penance. Yes, I home educate and complain about government overreach, but I still ask permission from the same government each year to continue home educating. My real ideal is the quiet life and that means I tolerate far more than I should, for much longer than I should.
My fiat mining is probably contributing to the problem, and building the world I don't want to see. I'm guessing that this incongruence is what's making me unhappy at work, because on paper it's a dream job at the top of my professional curve.
On a spiritual level too, there's incongruence in building babylon and the kingdoms of men, rather than making way for the kingdom of God.
Don't know where I go from here, but it's good to transmit this confessional note to my frens over whatever relays are listening.
Selah.
