I was thinking about this today and it's always the punks and graffiti writers, the artists, the poets musicians. They live on the edge and connect with the rough neighborhoods to revitalize them in harmony. It's the gentrifiers who always come in and ruin it. They'll come here eventually but we'll have already have made a beautiful for them. They'll try to build a casino, tax the air, the birds, and the trees but it'll be too late.

So well written!

Hell yeah, change - just like bitcoins price - happens at the margins. I despise the gentrifiers too, they destroyed too many beautiful skate spots, but we do need them too. Without them we have no one to push our advancements in culture to, and without them adopting we wouldn't be motivated to go on to discover new things. We despise the mainstream but without them we wouldn't be on the margin.
