Bitcoin + Yoga in 21 Bites

I wrote a post about 21 Ways Bitcoin and Yoga Are Aligned in their Values, and it deserves a deeper dive over time. I'll be posting that here. The initial list:

21 Ways Bitcoin & Yoga Are Aligned in Values:

1. YOU are the architect of your own destiny. This means YOU take personal responsibility. Life isn't "happening to you." You're the driver.
2. Sats = Satya
3. Both Bitcoin and yoga exist on Proof of Work (PoW)
4. Both harness energy (money and life stop happening TO you).
5. Both are misunderstood while having stigmas and misinterpretations.
6. Both Bitcoin & yoga are for ALL people—the path requires no pre-requisites. There is also no belief system required for either.
7. Both are for the greater good of humanity and a better way of life that starts with you.
8. Both let you choose your own path. You don't have to be a finance bro or even do asana. There are other paths in both.
9. Bitcoin and yoga are both practices.
10. Both build community.
11. Both are technically a-political, but people tend to politicize them anyway.
12. Both will transform you and your life, even the world around you.
13. Both heal you and the world.
14. Every practitioner of both is an activist.
15. Both sharpen the mind because they require study (as much study as you wish).
16. Both teach hope and counteract nihilism.
17. Both attract weirdos.
18. You can do bitcoin and yoga wrong. They are perfect systems often done imperfectly.
19. Both are a personal journey and each will lead you to more journeys.
20. Both are deep rabbit holes. Yes, often there are Bitcoin charlatans and yoga false gurus. Some aren't in it for the right reasons.
21. Each has its own language.
