"This is Water"

Thank you Bob Burnett for your latest "Old Man Yells" podcast. It meant a lot, it went deep. I have to admit, I was trying to figure out where you were going with it and missed when you said BSV/BCH.

It's about thinking. I was thinking you were going to tie in Bitcoin with Ocean/DATUM, the frustration, maybe the wrong path?

I know you are super busy, but I would give anything for what you think about this commencement speech. Every person should watch this, but especially Bitcoiners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCbGM4mqEVw (this post will make way more sense if you watch this first.)

Most people don't understand, when they ask me what my favorite part of me is, I tell them "the way I think." Self centered? Arrogant? I have always thought differently than most people. It's a blessing and a curse.

I don't fear many diseases but I do Alzheimers because I want to be thinking until the day I die. Even ALS doesn't scare me if my thinking is intact. I wonder if Hal was able to keep communicating his thoughts during that terrible disease though.

Regardless, while I complain about most Bitcoiners not giving a rip about most of your vision and not supporting you, you understand "the water."

For me, I take comfort on knowing there are a handful of Bitcoiners who truly are working on low time preference. Who are building things right while the high time preference Bitcoiners are supporting the wrong visions or visionaries.

It's all about the thinking, regardless of if you are in the majority, or invited to $100K parties or not.

I love how you think too, but perhaps are default settings are not quite right with Bitcoin? Regardless, on our low time preference, all of it, ordinals, filters, Spam, Mining, pools, it is all sacred.

Build it right, low time preference, it's going to take 10x longer.

Thanks Bob, for how you think. Cheers
