The Sheep Love Simple But Wrong:

The majority of the people believe BTC to be Bitcoin, the majority of the people agree with the mainstream narratives, the majority of people fail!

The majority of the people believe BTC to be Bitcoin, the majority of the people agree with the mainstream narratives, the majority of people fail!

The image above shows you how human society functions.

Society is like a well-oiled machine, but as any good mechanic can tell you: Machines need their parts to work.

As such, the majority of the parts are nothing but cogs, turning the wheels so the engineers can reap the rewards.

The sheep follow the path the dog barks them to follow, the sheep are conducted to the slaughterhouse and they often run to it…

…such is the herd mentality of domesticated animals, and of machines engineered by superior minds.

Forgive the fact I’m being cryptic here, but I always go for metaphors that can explain what I aim to say in a simple and effective way. I wager some of you understood it perfectly, while others will probably pretend they did.

Regardless, these two metaphors are society, and their hidden laws regulate behavior.

Continuing on with the story, people love:

People love to do their 9 to 5, get home and watch TV, turning off their minds.

People love to rest, binge-watch Netflix, play video games and not think at all.

When inevitably the majority of the people gets placed by society in the role of a cog, a sheep, a salary-man to feed the system of those engineers, of the Shepherd, of the boss, they love blaming everyone else for their shortcomings and failures in life.

They rejoice at others’ failures because that validates their own and makes them seem less of a cog by comparison.

They love to have their own failures justified by external agents, after all — everything must have a culprit, and that “culprit can’t be me!”

This sets the tone for human exploration. The rotten system we live in knows the vast majority of people are sheep.

Not everyone can lead…

Not everyone…

Most need to be led.

The world is a playground — for those who are willing to be complex but right, rather than simple and wrong.

Thus, the system we live in today is crafted to allocate the human machinery… creating narratives to make the masses do exactly what the engineers need them to do.

And this is where the sheep and the shepherd's dog metaphor really kicks in.

The dog barking to make the sheep move accordingly is simply the system creating the narrative for people to believe in.

People believe in the narrative of the system because THEY WANT to believe.

They need to believe…

This is how they can assign meaning to what they are doing in life since most didn’t even bother to sit down and establish goals to reach.

• The majority of people think money is the root of all evil;
• The majority of people believe Statism and what the governments tell them;
• The majority of people believe rich people are either lucky or they have networking contacts;
• The majority of people blame others for their failures;
• The majority of people need a narrative to grab on to because THEY DIDN’T CREATE THEIR OWN.

We see this with money, with politics, with social hierarchies, with COVID-19, and yes — even with Crypto!

Allow me to illustrate this connection further.

And this is where complex but right enters the picture.

The majority of people, the sheep, the simple but wrong crowd, they are winning in crypto:

• They can’t be bothered to research their crypto;
• They can’t be bothered to understand fundamentals;
• They can’t understand that crypto isn’t to make money, but that it IS money;
• They DON’T want their narratives to fall down and to build a new system, they want a better position in this current Statism-backed system.

…and so on.

This is why the majority of people commonly accept that Bitcoin is BTC.

They have NO NARRATIVE — they accept the narratives in place.

This is why you witness so much Cognitive Dissonance in the ranks of maximalists:

• They Say BTC isn’t for Merchants and Commerce, but a Store of Value (When Confronted by Fees);
• They get offended and distraught when a merchant doesn’t want to use their token for commerce (e.g. Tesla);
• They say they are in it for the technology;
• They have no idea what the technology is or they’d have dropped BTC already.

These dissonant ideas are commonplace in BTC Forums.

You can literally find thousands of these every day just by browsing BTC Twitter alone.

However, that majority is slowly capitulating.

Why?

No matter how society needs more sheep than shepherds, society is still an AMAZING CONSTRUCT that, like the markets, regulates itself to be more effective, better placed at giving everyone better conditions (we’ve seen this through the ages), and by far and wide better with each new system toppled and substitute implemented.

Basically speaking:

Crypto is progressing.

BTC Dominance is falling

Look at the two images at the side-by-side comparison I shared before this wall of text.

Now see the insane crash on BTC’s dominance, as well as the rise of alternate blockchains and projects.

Now, take that 3% of DOGE out since that is a fad.

You can now see how society, even being built the way it is, is showing the maximalists that progress is inevitable, and like I like to say mimicking Agent Smith from the Matrix: “This is the sound of your death”.

BTC ignited the new paradigm, but it grew to integrate the previous one, signing a deal with the devil in exchange for a better position in the rotten system.

It wasn’t signing a deal with the devil…

…it was signing its own death sentence.

It just didn’t know it.

Now, Maxis are seeing all of this unfold, and you know what they’re saying:

The same they always did, because when BTC stopped being Bitcoin, it devolved into a useless asset that had one use case and one use case alone — to better one’s position in the old system rather than heralding the new.

The Maximalists now run, screaming bullish mottos at everything coming out confirming what we at BCH knew for long.

Some pass their bags to their following, cashing out.

Some disappear mysteriously, doing something that never goes out of fashion and that the Japanese call raggu-pullo (rug pull), while others — the smarter ones — avoid obsolescence by capitulating to the inevitable Asteroid on their world.

Their Asteroid?

Their End?

What is it?

Crypto with solid use cases! Tokens that didn’t abdicate from what made them special and unique — the way they promote a new system rather than promise people a better standing on the current.

Tokens like ADA, like Cake, like BCH.

Now those are the ones to watch, the ones loyal to their function — they work as intended and didn’t sacrifice their whitepaper for a shiny FIAT pouch.

Now those are the enders!

Cheers!
