Something in rates & real estate feels like it has to snap.
Every fireman we know who owns a house is saying, "I'm staying put for a looooong time."
Every fireman we know who doesn't own a house is wondering how they're going to afford one.
We're more interested in HOW people think than WHAT people think.
One key aspect of both our intellectual journeys is having been COMPLETELY captured & convinced by things that later fell apart. This happens to any thinker at some point, and it injects a necessary dose of humility into how someone assesses the world.
Each of us is but one meatbag, trying to make sense of an incomprehensibly complex world. Stay humble. Listen to all perspectives. Embrace nuance.
We're as convinced and compelled by #Bitcoin as ever; it's a mind-blowing innovation, but it's not inevitable, and we'll never stop steelmanning.
If ur a grown man, never call another grown man "bud."
If there is any doubt about whether this is the BLUE COLLAR #bitcoin podcast, we're flying Spirit Airlines and sharing ONE bag on the way to Miami.😉

Most #crypto projects are basically flimsy fintech, only sh*ttier.
#BTC drastically improves money at the root layer, while other tokens attempting to be money generally worsen the root layer & then build on it.
The foundation = everything.

Nature F*CKS.
"All this fintech activity essentially provides overlays on top of existing financial system. #Bitcoin, on the other hand, is a computer science breakthrough that changes how we interact with money at the root layer."

I've been told, "You make too much money to drive a rusting out 2010 Chevy Malibu."
Nah...not while we're in the 1st innings of #bitcoin adoption — #btc makes saving cool again.

#bitcoin makes saving cool again.
#Bitcoin is a dumb network, and that's why it's winning.

Don't just give yourself time to learn, also give yourself time to think & process.
This is where I like to do that. (D)

BCB TRANSLATION👉If someone wants to f**k around, make sure they know they'll find out.
People inside & outside crypto who feel #Bitcoin is useless, harmful, or obsolete tend to be those who lack full understanding regarding the problems #BTC works to solve.
We're still so freaking early that I can convince dinner guests this is a #Bitcoin.
Engage & listen to the most responsible people you can find on the other side of ur argument.
If u can't find any responsible people on the other side of ur argument, ur not looking hard enough.
We're 4 episodes in to a 9 part #BITCOIN BASICS SERIES covering the fundamentals in moderate depth.
Part 5 will be out next weekend, so if needed, u've got a few days to catch up.😉

"Because money is a belief system, the manipulation of money is a form of passive-aggressive psychological abuse. People who distort the medium for transferring financial information are systemic predators who prey on people's belief system, eroding their ability to cooperate with each other and contributing to the collapse of society. The most successful moneys have been those which PHYSICALLY CONSTRAIN this type of systemic exploitation."
