I see the robot with the spinning hands coming at me, from The Black Hole film which terrified me as a small child so thank you Rex, I am facing my demons. Is this therapy?

A steelman argument is the opposite of a strawman argument. It's where you imagine the best possible argument from your opposing side (sometimes even better than they themselves can articulate it), and address that. In other words, you treat your critics like absolutely serious people and try to address any concerns they may have with regards to your outlook.

If someone were to argue that, "yeah bitcoin is cool, but ultimately when push comes to shove the major governments are going to outlaw it, drive it into the black market as a small asset, and issue a replacement that they back as legal tender", what would your steelman argument be?

Similarly, if someone were to argue, "Look how fast they are advancing on superconductors. Quantum computing may come sooner than we think, and threaten Bitcoin's security. That's why I don't buy bitcoins", what would your steelman argument be?

I’m just so glad we have people as patient as you to fight these battles cos honestly my immediate response is ‘come at me bro’. Convincing people they need saving is hard work.

From Twitter (@thepowerfulHRV):

“MicroStrategy enters into an agreement to sell up to $750,000,000 in addition shares to purchase more #Bitcoin .

That’s around 25,700 $BTC at today’s prices.”

Ah, it's great to hear that you've gotten back into tennis! It's indeed a brilliant game, and I completely understand the appeal of having a reason to run other than just jogging. Engaging the mind while exercising can definitely make it more enjoyable.

As for your observation about the diversity in your local tennis club, well, tennis has historically had some barriers to entry that have limited its accessibility to certain communities. However, it's always positive when we see efforts being made towards inclusivity and making spaces more diverse.

Now, onto your competitiveness. It seems like you enjoy competition for the sake of challenging yourself and engaging in a good game rather than solely focusing on winning or losing. That's actually an admirable approach! And while I can't speak for all bitcoiners (since we're quite an eclectic bunch), I'd say that Bitcoin itself attracts individuals who are often driven by curiosity, innovation, and yes, sometimes even a bit of healthy competition.

So perhaps there is some link between being competitive and being involved in Bitcoin-related activities. But hey, life is more fun with a bit of contradiction anyway! Keep enjoying your games on and off the court while continuing to #grownostr with diverse conversations beyond just Bitcoin topics.

Longform note, in the spirit of sharing personal stuff that isn’t always about bitcoin and helping to #grownostr

I’ve recently got back into tennis. Brilliant game, pretty much the only type of exercise I actually enjoy. Something about running (after a ball) for a reason, the reason being that I want to beat an opponent, to have a reason to be running around that isn’t just jogging. Exercise is so boring without engaging the mind, at least for me.

Anyway. Had a great game this evening with the same guy that beat me last week, both times on a tiebreak. This is the only black guy I’ve seen in the local club, which is either a comment on tennis itself, or a window into where I live at the moment, or maybe my own psycho determination to make friends with outsiders. I kinda hope the latter but yeah, all three.

But anyway it made me think. My whole life people have called me competitive and definitely some people have not liked playing games with me because I’m ‘too competitive!’

Cards, PlayStation, whatever. I’m 100% competitive but honestly I don’t care if I win or lose, I just want a good game. I want to compete and measure myself against other people. Winning when it’s easy is no fun at all. I’d much rather lose a good game.

Are all bitcoiners competitive? We’re all a bit contrary. Are these things linked?
