Part of Recommendations, 11 sections of picks from GritCult's posts.
GRITCULT's money doctrine is hard sound-money conviction wrapped in raw self-improvement. crypto isn't a casino ticket, it's the inevitable end of debased fiat — but you only win by building real value, putting in reps, and refusing to despair when you get wiped. wealth follows conviction, energy and patience, not luck.
Views
money is downstream of how you think. if you're constantly broke you don't have a money problem, you have a thinking problem [3]. fiat inflation is theft that forces you to gamble or consume — sound money lets your hodlings grow. bitcoin wasn't an accident, it was inevitable [1]: gresham's law reversed, the denationalisation of money. read the history before you touch the chart.
crypto is the meta and the meta is the only strategy — if you haven't adopted it you're late [8]. but you don't get rich quick; real security comes from patience and reps, not luck [9]. pitching and raising is easy once you have gold first — people feel it in your aura [6].
and when you get wiped — you will, multiple times — it's ok [2]. laugh, accept it as lore, never doom. get a shitty job to cover bills [4], up the volume. protect your energy harder than your money [5], because bad vampire energy infects everything.
