Some time ago, I wrote an article for European Bitcoiners titled "Decrypting Reality & The Quest for Freedom". You don't have to read the whole thing if you don't want to; below is a screenshot of the part I want to highlight anyway.

I'm curious what you think.

An excerpt from the article: \"Decrypting Reality & The Quest for Freedom\"

This article (Part One) was created for several reasons, including:

• To show that while the plot of the movie THE MATRIX is widely known and liked by many, yet, it may not be fully understood by everyone.
• To remind us that critical thinking is important, especially for those who consider themselves 'unplugged from the matrix'—i.e., Bitcoiners.
• To highlight that being a Bitcoiner, sometimes referred to as taking the 'orange-pill', though it may seem similar to the 'red-pill' choice made by Neo in the movie, has many differences (mostly advantages in favor of the 'orange-pill').
  • Therefore, when we talk about Bitcoin and 'exiting the matrix', those who are unaware of these differences may feel scared and overwhelmed, which can make them hesitant to take this step towards their freedom.

All in all, I'd love to know if you see these differences as well. I do. Maybe we could even point out more of them. If have any ideas, please leave a comment.

• One extra difference, not mentioned in the article:

In the movie, Neo relies quite a lot on the Oracle, and everything she says comes true in some way... While I do believe in 'fate'/destiny/some predetermined points in the universe, I don't think Bitcoiners need or have one Oracle to tell them what life can bring.

We have many sources and resources, and instead of following one person's statement, we gather various pieces of information to form our own opinions and proceed with our lives without being too dependent on fate.

Now, your turn if you wish :)

Thank you!
