The difficulty in being out in front of the herd is mostly loneliness. But the views are unobstructed and huuuuge. For those following, the trail is easier but the stench of shit mixed with dust fills their nostrils. I'll take lonely anyday, thanks

I wish Bitcoin Peeps were more like Californians than New Yorkers. Whilst NYC claims to be a melting pot, it's not. It is a spice cupboard with all the spices. California is the melting pot and includes all the flavors. Sometimes it is spicier, more sour or sweet than others but all are represented. I'm glad I came from the generation of Bitcoiners that saw value in altcoins. I say that as someone who has only ever used or acquired bitcoin.

I've thought about making audiobooks for "CC me" and "Pivots" but Idk if the word play would translate. I also do not want to have them hosted on Amazon. Aaaaand, I haven't worked out AI and Hollywood's snatching of voices and images. I miss mixed tapes and tape recorders.

Have you read/listened to Stuart Russell's book "Human Compatible"?

The most difficult lesson I've learned in life is that you cannot take everyone with you to where you're going. The flippant version is: a peep of chickens walk on the ground while eagles soar alone. It is still hard, even with the great views. I'm sorry they hurt your heart. Hopefully you'll inspire someone and that change will change the world.

Yeah. But can't you build it first then just let the legacy linger then languish?

I am glad that Joseph didn't feel that way. It would have been sad for Jesus to have grown up without his mother's husband to teach him how to build and fish.

Jack Dorsey banned me from Twitter in 2017 because I had been the biggest Capitalist, libertarian mouth with one of the largest followings in the Bitcoin Community. He wrote to me with a list of all IP addresses, and logins from every device I'd used and told me I'd never have an account. I tried with new phones and within days and sometimes hours, that new account was banned. No, aside from a Damascus Road like conversion and evidence of remorse and repentance, he remains, in my mind, a snake. I've forgiven him, and I've managed the last 7 years despite having access to the community I helped build since 2011 be denies to me. The rejection turned out to be protection. But forgiveness does not equate to trust.

The fisherman asked the scorpion he saved,, "Why did you sting me?". The scorpion answered, "Because we do what we are and I am a scorpion.".

Maybe he should give some dollahs to those of us hurt by his tyrannical and progressive ideology as he did his best to control speech. (Remember: bitcoin IS speech packets.)

I'm too old to understand this meme! 😂 😂 😂

I studied Philosophy under Dr. Diane Harvey, focusing on ethics. She was close to a Kantian Deontologist and believed in Capitalism absolutely. I'm so grateful for that background. A favorite book of mine came from The Mises Institute ( Ron Paul's campaign got me there. 😊) "Ethics of Liberty" by Murray Rothbard. I love how one thing + one thing leads to another 🎶🎵 and brings us back around, only not to the same place.

Oh, then you'll love this! In 2013, at The Silver Circle Movie Premier, specifically at the private bar at Webster Hall following the premier, Peter Schiff swore he'd never ever buy bitcoin. I asked him to bet me 50 bitcoin. He pointed to his very pregnant wife wearing a luscious red dress and said, "On the life of my son!". THAT is what we call a double bind.

In 2014, the big promise and hope for ethereum was legal contracts. Agreements with bitcoin/ ethereum held in an escrow account until completion of whatever the agreement required, and a built in release for breaking K was something many believed an obvious value and goal.

Is anyone working on anything like that today that you know of?

I'm not sure if you are directing this at me. I don't think you are as BCH was Roger's thing, not mine. The "bitcoin is a tool" claim ought to be a standard belief unless one believes it is the End Game. I like Humans and want people to be freed from enslavement so that being a Human is an option for them.
