A Contemplative Experience

I just set up a node for the first time through Bitcoin Core. As it synchronizes it tells you exactly what block it's syncing on what day. As it slowly crawls through the blocks, it goes forward in time to the present. I sat there and watched the days and years go by and thought... "What was a doing at this time in life?" "Bitcoin was there chugging along and I didn't even know it." "That person was alive back then... I wish they were here today." "Who even was I back then? I'm so much different now." "If this has been going on this long... nothing can stop it." It's an interesting experience. Almost meditative. I highly recommend it. submitted by /u/WhatTheFuckOver17 [link] [comments]

"What was a doing at this time in life?"

"Bitcoin was there chugging along and I didn't even know it."

"That person was alive back then... I wish they were here today."

"Who even was I back then? I'm so much different now."

"If this has been going on this long... nothing can stop it."

It's an interesting experience. Almost meditative. I highly recommend it.
