I'm recently learning that certain bitcoiners won't associate with me anymore because I've been open about my past issues.

Some have actively thrown me under the bus to signal their own virtue to others. Even some who secretly struggle with their own issues.

Although I personally rarely touch drugs anymore, I'm still a firm believer in the value of recreational use - especially psychedelics.

And while I'm ashamed to have lost my stack by organizing a costly conference, I'm not ashamed of humbly asking for help.

I won't sacrifice my integrity by pretending otherwise just to gain acceptance. And I certainly will never sacrifice anyone else.

Humanity, charity and tolerance cannot be outsourced on a #Bitcoin standard, it has to come from each of us.

Take care of those who struggle, support those trying to do better, and celebrate those who manage.

Never rise by kicking those who are down, we are already hard enough on ourselves.

And I'm getting back up with or without you, but it would be way cooler together.
