The Best Leader in Bitcoin is an Investor
What affectionate of being would accomplish the best baton in Bitcoin? The best baton is the being with the greatest anticipation and best imagination. He doesn’t charge to apperceive crypto. He is an investor. He is artlessly the one with the best abstraction of how Bitcoin will be acclimated in the future. This being is the best baton because he would apperceive best how to use assets today so as to ability the accomplished amount for Bitcoin best easily. He would be addition who bought in early, and who advised his bitcoins as if they were account a lot added than they were at the time.
However, addition with anticipation would accept additionally abhorred cartoon absorption to himself. He would accept accepted that Bitcoin would become an adversarial environment. He would accept predicted that added bodies would do aloof about annihilation to get what he got effortlessly. He would appetite to be unobtrusive.
The being with the greatest foresight, the one I appetite as a leader, would accept been acute abundant not to analyze himself, and he would apperceive how to act impaired whenever eyes were aloft him.
Anyone who absolutely knew how to accomplish Bitcoin added admired would be acute abundant not to acquaint anybody about it. He knows that secrets are the best admired affair in the market. He would appetite to acquaint no one, and position himself best in apprehension of its analysis by added people. The best baton charge put his ability to the analysis after cartoon absorption to himself or alike hinting that he knows anything.
In fact, I would accede addition who acclaimed himself by his intelligence or anticipation as second-rate at best. I am autograph now with hindsight. I accept had foresight, but I didn’t anticipate far enough. If I had been really smart, I would never accept accounting a distinct commodity because I would accept accomplished aggregate that I wrote about here.
The Paradox
Thus, the absurdity of administration in Bitcoin is that addition who is a acceptable broker knows not to draw absorption to himself or to his ideas. For Bitcoin is an adversarial ambiance in which all absorption that one draws makes him vulnerable. The botheration is to get acceptable account from leaders who appetite to break hidden, and analyze them from bad ideas.
The way that we apperceive this baton is that he is consistently in the appropriate abode at the appropriate time and he avoids all accessories that are set for him, but he never does annihilation that reveals him to be annihilation added than a advantageous idiot. Addition who avoids a trap, and reveals that he was not bamboozled by it, has apparent that he is intelligent, which agency that he is too brainless to be a acceptable leader. Same if he succeeds and shows that he knew what he was doing. The best baton would abstain accessories and accomplish acknowledged bets after absolute that he has foresight. The baton charge be addition who is either actual acceptable or actual lucky, and annihilation about him definitively establishes the difference.
In added words, the baton is invisible. If I can see him, afresh he is not acceptable enough. If I attending at him, I would appetite to abolish him as a backward being and move on after acquainted his greatness. A acceptable baton in Bitcoin charge argue me that he has Bitcoin’s best absorption in apperception and that he is not aggravating to betray me instead. He charge additionally argue me that his plan is absolutely good. And not aloof already either. He charge argue me afresh every time he wants me to do anything.
The way he leads is by action his own bitcoins on Bitcoin’s future. That is how he issues his commands. When he does this, he binds himself to Bitcoin’s success. He does not apprehend me to bet with him. He takes on the accident himself. He is either a fool who is eliminating himself from the action basin or a ability who is accomplishing article above my understanding. If I can acquaint the difference, again he is not my leader.
My accompany and I had a antic a few years ago afterwards an barter with addition on reddit who said that the “bitcoin mafia” would never let an altcoin succeed, as if there was absolutely a cabal amid bitcoiners to abolish altcoins. The antic was that I was the baton of the Bitcoin mafia, and that I didn’t apperceive whether it absolutely existed, and I artlessly issued my commands to the four apprehension and was blind of anyone listening. I did this by answer that we we would systematically abstain accident by blank altcoins; a acknowledged altcoin is accordingly an acclivous attempt to abet anybody to be added chancy than necessary. That is the baton I want.
Tom and Don
I’ll achieve with two of my heroes from abstract who I anticipate are affectionate of like the baton I appetite for Bitcoin.
My aboriginal hero is Tom Bombadil, the attributes spirit from Lord of the Rings. His area was removed from the movies because he is a addle-pate who sings cool songs and acts like he’s aerial all the time. However, the arena of ability does not affect him and he does not ambition to advice abort it. He appears to be earlier than anybody abroad in Middle Earth and, to him, the administration of Sauron would be a concise affectionate of thing, and he does not appetite to accident himself to stop article that he knows he can endure.
Tom Bombadil is my hero because he avoids activity forth with the army and he does not booty accidental risks back anybody abroad is. Is he absolutely brainless or is he the accurate guardian of Middle Earth?
My additional hero is Don Quixote, the dement from La Mancha. In book 1, Don Quixote goes mad and believes himself to be a charlatan and he leaves his job to go questing with his sidekick, Sancho Panza. He has a lot of abstract adventures and hurts himself afresh and again. In book 2, Don Quixote goes on added adventures but this time, the bodies about him accept apprehend book 1, and they appetite to comedy forth and allow him in his fantasies. It is like his carelessness has gone out of him and he is now a absolute leader. Was he brainless or genius? Bitcoin in 2024 was like book 1 of Don Quixote because it was abandoned and its approaching uses were artlessly the dream of those few complex with it. Bitcoin today is like Don Quixote in book 2.
Don Quixote is my hero because he takes risks on things that accomplish no faculty to added people, but which ultimately about-face him into a leader. Is he absolutely mad or does he apperceive what he is doing?
My heroes are added like these people. They are annihilation like the technocrats who accept been attempting to advance Bitcoin recently. They are the ones who absolutely ascendancy Bitcoin’s future. They are the airy leaders.
He asserts his administration by assuming us that he will lose money if his command is not obeyed. He can do this after absolute who he is. The arrangement is all I charge to see of him because I would apperceive that alone a acceptable baton could sustainably accident his money on it. Either he knows what he is talking about and will accumulate acceptable money in the future, or he does not and his behavior will be punished over time.
