Yes, exactly — inspiration plays a huge role in discovering Bitcoin. Most people won’t explore it on their own unless something sparks emotion or curiosity. If they never hear the idea framed in a way that speaks to them, they may never look in this direction.

I also agree — Bitcoin is at a crossroads. The same institutions that broke the old system are now trying to capture Bitcoin for themselves. That’s why it’s critical for everyday people to learn about it, use it, and hold it before it becomes out of reach. If Bitcoin turns into just another asset class dominated by Wall Street and governments, we’ll have lost the very essence of what it was meant to be.

Jack is in a unique position. Yes, he’s helping bring Bitcoin to larger players and corporate institutions — and to be clear, that would happen with or without him. His role (and others like him) isn’t to invite them in, but to help shape how they enter. Without principled people guiding that process, corporate and government adoption could become extractive or manipulative. But when Bitcoiners with strong values lead the conversation, there’s a real chance to protect the ethos of Bitcoin as it scales.

At the same time, Jack remains one of the few prominent voices still speaking directly to everyday people — in a raw, honest, and emotionally accessible way. That matters.

Because, like you said: fiat is a powerful prison. And if we hold tools that can help people find a way out, we shouldn’t hesitate to offer them — not to push, but simply to show them the door exists.
