I've already had several conversations this morning with friends and family skeptical of bitcoin.

"Where can I get some?" "How do I know it's really mine?" How do I store it?" "What happens to my bitcoin in a bank run?"

The SVB collapse is truly awful. Many thousands of businesses and their hundreds of thousands of employees are paying the price. Let's hope it doesn't start too big a domino effect, and lead to significant further banking consolidation / centralization.

Silver lining is more people are now asking about self-sovereign, scarce, censorship resistant money. It's a major learning opportunity.

If you're a bitcoiner, take time to talk through it with your friends. I recommend this as a visual aid: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vTp1RmlRcA4XKaDkwjws_0A7GGCCcA9CJK0FJ3NWU1fCWAeVTIeyqZfsbPPTFnGGvMeoiLQxSl2RWkD/pub?slide=id.p.

If you represent a business, follow the lead of Square/Block and diversify your balance sheet. You may feel like you're sticking your neck out, but rethink your balance sheet risk from first principles. Square even published a guide so you don't need to reinvent the wheel: https://s29.q4cdn.com/628966176/files/doc_downloads/Square-Inc.-Bitcoin-Investment-Whitepaper.pdf
