Everyone buys bitcoin at the price they deserve.
In the sense of the spontaneous order that arises from voluntary self-organization, no. However, the original quoted post was using the term in a very different way.
Does society need organizing?

GM β frens. I had a nice long weekend away at a family meetup seeing some people for the first time in decades. It was a good opportunity to reflect back on the many changes in our personal and professional lives over the years, but also a reminder of our younger, more naive selves.

The law of conservation of drama asserts itself again, this time, over the migration of the Bitcoin Core mailing list to Google groups.
This mailing list has served for a very long time as a high signal exchange of ideas central to development of the Bitcoin protocol and the most popular Bitcoin client software package in use on the network.
It has been known for years that a migration to a new host was needed, and the volunteers who have maintained, moderated, dealt with attacks, and coordinated with the hosting service have solicited ideas for change for a long time.
Nothing viable had emerged from the community, but of course now that the list volunteers have settled on and implemented a solution, there are a lot of after the fact commenters happy to criticize what was chosen, often with factually incorrect reasoning.
Bitcoin is a doocracy. Those that do, drive the direction it takes. The opportunities to influence this decision through dialogue, offered resources, or donations did not result in anything useful, so the list volunteers took action.
(Note: I was one of the early list moderators back in the 2013-2017 period. I do not have any present involvement.)

Meh. Evolutionary pressures promote things that are "good enough at the time", not necessarily optimal. Considering the vast differences between the world over evolutionary timeframes and the modern world we operate in, it's something at least worth reconsidering.
GM β frens. Haven't posted much recently as I have been very busy with offline activities, but still like to check in here to see what's happening.
This video is the warning you need to not handle your keys in the open, much less in a QR code.

There was someone that was doing a bitcoin explainer video on youtube that had their private key as a QR code shown *blurred out*, and a person was able to use clues in the remaining brightness variations to reduce the search space to only a few million possible keys and took the coins.
The best I've been able to explain to the complete beginner, at least in the Bitcoin context, is that your public key is like your bank account number, and your private key is like your ATM PIN.
It's not a perfect analogy but it gets across the notion that a pubkey is what you give people, and a privkey is what you hold secret and gives you access to do things.
