I’m all in on bitcoin and the revolution, gains, community etc etc. but when I read these kind of articles and I understand they are biased and coming from the outside looking in. But sometimes this vision of the future sounds a bit weird. I’m sure the reality will be more organic and hopefully we will pivot to a better, fairer, nicer world but living out in the desert as a frontier city sounds far from ideal. Or is this just me? 🤷🏻
The future as envisioned by MSM is always a bit extreme. Think about how the internet was presented in the early days; I expect somebody ridiculed email saying they could simply make phone call or send a letter. I think the positive side of the article is the opening of the conversation - as we are having - and perhaps concluding that early adopters are prepared to accept hardships for the promotion of the cause.
I guess so. I do like Gabriel. His coming storm podcast is great. Did make my wife think I had joined a cult but maybe I have 😂
