True Edge

True wisdom doesn't sound sexy.
It sounds like "use less leverage"
and "read the documentation" and "touch grass."
The beautiful narratives—they're not true.
The true ones don't get likes.

The wise trader doesn't need to debate.
She's too busy compounding.
The loud ones need to convince you
because they need your liquidity to exit.

Eighty-one verses.
Not one told you what to buy.
Not one gave you a target.
Because the Dao doesn't force outcomes—
it lets you sit with the uncertainty
until you stop needing answers
and start seeing clearly.

But here's what I couldn't tell you in verse one:
this path will cost you everything
you thought you wanted
to give you something
you didn't know you needed.

Maybe the revolution was just revenge
dressed up as ideology.
Maybe we automated trust
because human trust was too scary.
Maybe every "gm" and "wagmi" was cope
for how alone we really felt.

But maybe that loneliness taught us something
about what connection actually costs.
Maybe getting liquidated at 3am
showed us what we'd been risking all along.

The Dao nourishes without forcing.
The builder who gets it acts without competing.
She gives more than she takes
and somehow always has enough.

This was never financial advice.
It was always the way.

Abide. Just abide.
