Here’s the thing: I don’t care if my podcast “thrives.” If I wanted my podcast to get more views I’d just jump on the knots/bip110 bandwagon. I’ve been blocked/reported/“disliked” nonstop by knots/bip110 folks. What people don’t realize is my podcast is not my primary source of income. I work a fiat job. I work my ass off and then podcast as my hobby long into the night after my wife and son are asleep. I podcast because I want to expose as many people as possible to Bitcoin, because I know how it can help them. I didn’t start my podcast to make money because I don’t *need* to make money with my podcast. I can’t be bought (as many knots/bip110 folks claim I am) because I don’t fucking need it. If I never made another Sat off my podcast I would still continue doing it because, again, I do not rely on my podcast for income. I do this because I want to do whatever I can to make a small contribution to the continued success of Bitcoin. My opinions are my own. You may not agree with them, and that’s okay. You say “I hope you wake up soon”, but you apparently fail to consider that I’ve spent a great deal of time thinking about this… I just came to a different conclusion than you did. Again, that’s okay. We can disagree. In fact, it’s GOOD for bitcoiners to disagree. We need not be a monolith. Anyone who knows me knows why I do what I do, and knows my opinions cannot be bought. Maybe we get a chance to have a beer together some time. I bet if we did we’d probably get along great. Anyway, I’m taking the time to respond to this in detail because this whole fucking discourse has devolved into an absolute shitshow and it is wholly unproductive. So I want to try to be productive where I can. I’m having a drink right now, and to you I say “cheers to Bitcoin.”
