When someone has recorded thousands of hours of podcasts, it’s easy for a short clip to misrepresent their views or for them to occasionally use the wrong words. But I clearly remember him repeating the message “think for yourself” countless times. His opinions are his own, and he always encourages others to form their own thoughts, which I really respect. He’s introduced more people to this space than anyone else over the past 15 years, and today he speaks the language of institutional money. While he focused on retail investors for the last few years, now he’s shifting to bring big money into the space, and big money trusts big banks. That’s fine—just remember to hold your own keys. Some people will trust the banks, and that’s their choice, but you don’t have to.

On the positive side, he has educated many people and helped them get started in this space.

Here are the five stages people go through when accepting Bitcoin:
1. Denier: Believes Bitcoin is a scam, a pyramid scheme, or doesn't exist.
2. Skeptic: Acknowledges Bitcoin may be beneficial but thinks it's too good to be true and fears government bans.
3. Trader: Starts buying and selling Bitcoin without strong opinions; buys if they expect the price to rise and sells if they think it will fall.
4. Investor: Views Bitcoin as a valuable technology, akin to Google or utilities like water and electricity, seeing it as the future and a good investment.
5. Advocate for Economic Empowerment: Recognizes Bitcoin as a tool for economic empowerment.

If you’re a curious person, focus on seeking the right questions rather than answers. Answers are easy to find, but asking the right questions is what truly matters. It’s not just about finding answers but about understanding which questions to ask or listen to. The right questions lead to more questions, and that process brings you closer to the truth.
Ultimately, the pursuit of truth is the answer, properly understood.

Participating in the Bitcoin network is a form of free association.
Bitcoin is protected by the First Amendment as both speech and an expressive association.
Participating in the Bitcoin network is a form of free association.
Bitcoin is more than a financial tool—it's a political movement designed to free individuals from government monopolies over money.
Bitcoin implicates the First Amendment. As a system for collecting and communicating information ranging from payment data to art, bitcoin is speech. As a statement of protest against the government’s monopoly over money, bitcoin is expressive conduct. And as a collection of individuals that share bitcoin’s hard-coded principles of individual liberty, anti-censorship, and anti-debasement, bitcoin is an expressive association.
