Maybe Jim knows exactly what he's doing. i.e He doesn't practice what he preaches??

Both camps projecting their personal preferences is perfectly ok. Savers remind spenders they should save. Spenders remind savers we should build a bitcoin circular economy.

I write the principles I want to live by on a regular basis. They’ve remained fairly consistent over the years.

1. Everything is connected.

Therefore, I want to be mindful that every action I take will eventually come back to me.

2. Everyone knows everything, eventually.

Therefore, I want to be sure I act with transparency with a desire to be fair.

3. I know nothing.

Therefore, I want to be curious and always seek to listen and learn.

I fail at some of these regularly. But it’s been important to come back to them and validate my actions and consider ways to improve.

My top 5 to have dinner with were (in no particular order):

Thomas Jefferson

Marcus Aurelius

Chris Farley

George Carlin

Satoshi Nakamoto

sending my mom bitcoin to pay for her healthcare in argentina

6 months ago: 100,000 pesos

3 months ago: 140,000 pesos

today: 180,000 pesos

when I was in high school, 1 peso = 1 USD

to me this sounds as ridiculous as if you had to pay $180,000/mo for healthcare

don't worry, you'll likely experience that too

I’m in constant awe at the entire bitcoin effort and Bitcoin Core specifically.

It really is a miracle.

Even if it ultimately fails*…it showed everyone what’s possible.

*it won’t fail.

A lifetime of error correction. :).

But then how do you deal with social awkwardness and anxiety?

The human mind can not comprehend exponential growth.

We are linear thinkers.

Ask someone how tall would a sheet of printer paper be if you folded 50 times and they’d likely guess 20 feet? 100 feet? Skyscraper height?

No. It would be 100,000,000 kilometers high. 2/3 of the way from the Earth to the sun.

₿itcoin is exponential technology built into money. You are incapable of understanding this. So am I.

Faces will melt.
