Bitcoin needs people from all sides to succeed, and it seems Peter is doing what he thinks is the best way to accomplish that. That’s cool. As someone who was once a huge Bernie supporter and now can’t stand any political party, I have a lot of friends and family who think I’m insane for promoting bitcoin.

Being a bitcoiner with ideas the left is super hard because then everyone you talk to gives you shit. 😁

That also happens if you’re wrong. Having everyone tell you your ideas are stupid sometimes means your ideas are stupid.

I don’t think it’s healthy to be a purist. It makes you too susceptible to manipulation.

Do you believe that some ideas are true and some ideas are false?

I believe in engaging people from

where they are and not starting from a point of telling them everything they stand for is stupid. I find that’s the least effective way to win people over to any position.

Do you think some ideas are right and some ideas are wrong?

Yes, but I won’t get into an hours-long political debate about it. That’s not why I’m here.

Ok cool. Some people are right and others are wrong. 👍

I want to hear the ideas of more people who are right. I don’t care to hear from people who are wrong. If folks prefer to spend their time listening to people who are wrong that’s their business.
