The righteous walk in truth,

but the fearful cling to orthodoxy.

They follow the path not because it is right,

but because it is paved.

For a time, they are rewarded—

honored as wise, trusted as just.

But when the ground shifts beneath them,

they are left grasping at air.

The old priests will not save you.

The teachers of yesterday cannot guide you.

They will fight for their crumbling temple,

even as the walls collapse.

If you seek a formula, you are already lost.

No one will hand you the truth.

In these transitionary times,

You must see it with your own eyes,

and walk toward it alone.

Bitcoin does not fit in the boxes of today’s orthodoxy.

If you desire to understand,

You must abandon your competing desire

for conformity with approved ideas.
