I am going to try to be more positive, like Satoshi was, when speaking or writing about Bitcoin. Someone on a podcast said, if you come at Bitcoin from a state of compassion first it is easier to discuss , debate with people.
Have you noticed, the best minds in the space, like Saylor seldom 'lose it' when they discuss Bitcoin. Only a few times, in the hours and hours I have listened/watched Saylor has he become agitated. Of course, with our society the way it is, those times all go viral:
1) "There is no second best."
2) "It's going up forever, Laura."
3) "They're committing Securities Fraud - especially Ethereum."
Negativity sells in our society, cancer treatment failures versus potential cures. But there is hope, on our National News, a potential candidate running for President on the GOP ticket, Tim Scott sounded like Abraham Lincoln to me. Why? His message was positive. I have no idea what his views are on Bitcoin but many people should follow the leads of the best of the best. Even Natalie Brunell, who continually goes the positive route when it comes to Bitcoin. The only time she has even come close to losing it is when she has airline or technical hard drive trouble or 'kickin the can down the road' with Yellin' Janet Yellen.
Regardless, we all can relate, but staying positive in the BItcoin space takes effort, a hell of a lot more effort than being negative. We all need to be more like Satoshi and Saylor and Brunell and for the love of GOD we need more laughter like we get from the amazing Yellow and Bitcoin Carla/Walker. Thank goodness we 'halve' them or I would have long logged off of here.
We all can try to do better, to use the velvet hammer (Jeff Booth) versus the sledge hammer (Greg Foss).
Go Positive, go long Bitcoin, long fuse. Smile and laugh.
