On our multi-hour trip to the airport (heading to Oslo soon), my husband and I had a long debate about fiat and bitcoin. I love this sort of thing.

He is super bullish on bitcoin, but has somewhat lower expectations than me for its total market size and importance in the long run. But more importantly, he is a really good debater and can steelman fiat arguments better than most of the actual fiat proponents can, so it’s very useful iterative process for me to keep sparring his arguments and refine how I describe things for maximum clarity and impact. He also edits all of my long-form articles and edited my book, so he serves as my first line of defense to make sure everything I write can pass a certain muster outside of my own echo chamber.

It’s really important to do this sort of thing. Debate with people you like but where you see some things differently, and assess how it all checks out.

How do you spell sorry with a 🇨🇦 accent?

Sor-ee?

And the patience to spend a week or two fixing it when things go sideways.

You're being too autistic
