On Being Wrong

We are all wrong every now and then. Well, lets be honest, we've all been wrong a LOT. Thats human nature. We expect things to go one way, but often it doesn't.

You were wrong when you trusted the banks, you learned. You were wrong when you trusted that politician. You were wrong about the Bitcoin Core team years ago. Many were wrong about emergent coding being a sham. You were wrong when you sold that crypto the day before it went up in value.

A lot of people still are wrong about Bitcoin Core and Lightning being a solution for the world.

How does it feel to be wrong? It feels bad, doesn't it?

Actually, no, what feels bad is realizing you were wrong. While you were wrong it actually felt great. It felt like you were right. And others were wrong. Until you realized, that damn, you were wrong all this time.

Be patient with people. We are all wrong from time to time. Be patient with yourself, and don't be afraid to reflect every now and then.
