Virtualization is practically an extension of reality and, financially, a different way of representing ownership. Ultimately, reality exists in our perception, which we experience and verify. Our senses serve as tools that transfer information from the external world into our brains, where this data is then reconstructed in our perception. The reason we dismiss digital currencies is that we see virtual things as “non-existent.” However, if you think about it, the state of existence varies depending on whether it is virtual or physical, and all information processing takes place within our perception, only providing feedback to reality. In perception, the difference between virtual and real is meaningless. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Plants produce a toxin called alkaloids for their protection. Over 200 types of alkaloids exist in nature, and they are known for their bitter taste. Humans dislike bitterness and prefer sweetness. Among taste receptors, there are four times as many receptors for detecting bitter flavors compared to other taste perceptions, which is believed to be an evolutionary adaptation for safety against toxins. Fear is an instinctual response in humans to ensure security. Aversion to pain may also serve as a survival mechanism. Don’t be vaguely afraid of fear. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
