Before this reply you didn’t ask any questions, so how can you say I’m deflecting rather than answer?
I tried to explain my point of view, and then you made a bunch of assumptions and assertions about my motives. Where did I deflect anything?
I think everyone has financial motives. It would be silly to pretend that I don’t. But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. I also had financial motives when I chose to get into bitcoin and tell everyone I know about it.
My thoughts on custody evolved after spending thousands of hours helping people learn about self-custody. I’ve seen countless people choose to pass on investing in bitcoin early, because they found self-custody confusing. If they used coinbase instead, they’d be way better off.
So my belief today is that self-custody needs to exist as an option, and power users like you and me will probably use it, but MOST people will not. They need good custodial options.
I assume you’re probably referring to some specific one but this reply is already very long so I’ll let you say what is the specific thing you’re bothered about and we can continue from there
Twitter rate limits are for tweets only. Spaces still work for everyone!
Me and nostr:npub1wvua9d5pfd47j94ytwr6gpmmkukxrhrdn6q99m3egchkymsdrlrsenmtwm are hosting a big Twitter Space on Thursday. We’re going to have a VERY BIG guest.
Can’t share more yet, but you can expect it to be controversial, and also very interesting to bitcoiners of all kinds. I promise
Anyone can join, even people I blocked.
1,000 bitcoiners already set reminders. Join us: https://twitter.com/taprootwizards/status/1674876177939324928 
haha i kind of like it
if you don’t enjoy it, don’t consume it
why are you in this thread? you don’t seem to want to have a conversation. you make assumptions about my intents and motives, based on nothing but pure speculation. are you enjoying this? do you think this anger is healthy for you?
the people with incentives to build a cesspool of laser-eye maxis are laser-eye maxis? that's not particularly shocking

i think you're only frustrated because you didn't take the time to think this through from the other person's point of view (mine)
i have 170k+ followers on twitter, most of them are actually happy with my content (naturally, otherwise they wouldn't have been consuming it) and are mostly positive
but i'm just a person like anyone else - i do not owe anyone my time or attention. i can't reply and entertain anyone who happens to feel angry about something and furiously reply about it. i have better things to do
and it's not just about my own time and attention. when i go into arguments on twitter with the angry minority, that arguments gets viewed by the rest of my audience. i have a responsibility to broadcast to my audience the content they want to see, not arguments with haters.
so when people repeatedly take cheap shots, especially when it's related to topics that i've addressed before and have no new information to add to, i tend to just block and move on.
it's not personal, it's just something that people with large accounts tend to do in order to maintain a quality standard
where did i ever say that i only block laser-eyes?
have fun browsing to my feed every single day hoping to find something to get triggered about
not really, i visited nyc recently, filled my mental quota of depressing bums over there
Hey what’s up bro
I was here from (around) the beginning but unfortunately you guys never noticed me :(
What’s a better stats resource to use? I asked some nostr proponents and that’s what they pointed me to. Happy to explore alternatives
My web magic skills are rusty. It took me 6 hours to correctly set up NIP-05 on our website with CORS
I shall label you bait-taker
They can’t change that. All they can do is cry and whine. Bitcoin will rage on.
