hear me out: papier-mâché bitcoin

Any book sellers out there interested in stocking ‘Resistance Money’ and selling it for bitcoin? We can get you copies from the press at a steep discount. No author kickbacks or royalties or funny business: we just want people to be able to buy the book for bitcoin!

Schrödinger's bitcoin: an asset superpositioned between youthful ('we are still early'), and aged indeed ('bitcoin is here to stay'). We collapse to whichever position is convenient, of course, and return to the superposition when the move is complete.

Alternative take: hospitals do good, even though the people there are more sick than anyone else. So also with moral healing. Great teachers often call for the weary and heavy laden to follow them — not those who've got it all figured out.

Right now is the good old days What’s happening in #bitcoin is revolutionary All of us are working on things, building relationships, and creating memories that will carry us the rest of our lives Very lucky to be alive forwarding the largest movement of our generation
