#97 - The New York Stock Exchange, Bitcoin, and the Greed That Can Set You Free
What does "greed is good" mean when you're standing outside the New York Stock Exchange? In this Juicy MagiK on the Go, we turn the phrase upside down, or perhaps right side up.
After crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, we talk about material greed, the endless wanting for more money, more things, more status, more followers, and the spiritual greed that can actually nourish the heart. A thirst for wisdom. Hunger for self-realization. Greed to chant the holy names, to keep company with saintly people, and to come closer to Radha and Krishna.
There's also gratitude for America, reflections on religious freedom and liberty, a playful conversation about sound money, and an official announcement about Sacred Vedic Arts becoming the first Vedic temple powered by Bitcoin, running a node and mining Bitcoin.
We share a little personal honesty too. A big house, indoor pool, sauna, tennis court, dogs, and all the outer signs of success still didn't bring happiness. Sometimes spiritual life begins when we admit that more stuff isn't giving us more peace. Then, naturally, there is dog poop on the concrete and a bit of laughter. Spiritual life is the best. It's a lot of fun.
