Gold Guy's Law of Attraction Problem: When Bitcoin Lives Rent-Free in Your Head

When you spend all day hating Bitcoin, but it still moves in and makes itself comfortable."

You know that one guy. Yeah, that guy. The one who made a career promoting sound money principles, rallying against fiat, and championing an asset that’s been around since ancient civilizations discovered shiny rocks. A respectable cause, truly. 

But lately, something curious has happened. The spotlight he’s earning, the headlines he’s grabbing, the eyeballs on his commentary — it’s not because he’s passionately pumping his product. Oh no. Instead, he’s found a new muse by badmouthing Bitcoin.

Now, I don’t want to speculate (much), but isn’t it ironic that the very thing he’s trying to squash — Bitcoin — is the exact thing breathing life into his relevance? It’s like watching someone try to slap a mosquito while missing entirely, only to realize their own buzzing swats are what’s keeping the mosquito alive and thriving.

Let’s get a little philosophical here. Ever heard of the Law of Attraction? It’s a simple idea, you attract what you focus on. Want positivity? Think positively. Want abundance? Focus on prosperity. Want to see Bitcoin fade away? …Maybe stop screaming its name like you’re summoning Beetlejuice.

Because here’s the kicker, every time this gentleman (who shall remain unnamed but you know who you are) trashes Bitcoin, he’s amplifying it. Every tweet, every podcast quip, every public rant gets retweeted, memed, and analyzed. And let’s face it, Bitcoiners love a little free publicity — even if it comes from someone wielding “sound money” arguments like a rusty pitchfork.

Here’s where I’ll hand out a little free advice — and I promise it’s worth more than gold. Drop the resistance. Bitcoin isn’t the enemy, it’s just the inevitable evolution of sound money principles. The more you fight it, the more attention it gets.

To my fellow Bitcoiners, let’s give him a few more days to ride our coattails. After all, he’s probably just along for the Bitcoin-powered media boost, even if he doesn’t want to admit it. But come January 1st? Let’s tune him out. Unless, of course, he finally sees the light and joins us over here on the dark side — where the blocks are immutable, and the wallets are self-custodied.

In the meantime, let’s toast to irony and let him have one last hurrah before 2025 hits. #CallingBSonPS — because even when he’s wrong, he’s accidentally making Bitcoin look oh so right.
