Men of yesterday

[JaanusRaim]

This thread was not created to mock others. It is a critique, but first and foremost, a self-critique. A critique of that part of me which is still man of yesterday.
Others are merely mirrors.

Who are the men of yesterday ?
We are people who are not able to think about the possibility of paradigmatic changes - therefore "change" means for us only the extrapolation of present trends into the future.
As Satofan44 has said in the thread Thought Experiment: Bitcoin falls to $1000. I think it would recover.  "A huge % of humans are unable to consider hypothetical scenarios at all, as in they do not have the cognitive capacity to do so regardless of what the hypothetical is." This huge % are us.

We are not conservatives, we are not against progress, movement, development. But this development has to happen under the present constitution. We are developing only that already exists. What does not exist, is not possible. Never.

Our bible is "The End of History and the Last Man" (Francis Fukuyama, 1992).

In 1999, we invest in stocks; in 2010, we invest in gold; and in 2026, we invest in the nowadays market hit: the first, the only, the unique... We are always blinded by the radiance of yesterday.
And of course, we are always a step behind.

Without thinking twice we all at one time or the other happens to be these men of yesterday who I don't know as much as they love change they're still very well afraid of change, that paradigm shift is like being naked in the streets. This led to many not envisaging the probable future of Bitcoin, a kind of skepticism, skeptical over what I don't even know, I don't know what I have been protecting that led to the regret of never accepting these shift some few years back even if not from the beginning of Bitcoin. Altogether, such is life but glad to know that I am not longer "man of yesterday" so far as Bitcoin is consign but don't know where I am still "men of yesterday" wish I realize and accept a shift of paradigm.
