On a flight next to what seemed like a sweet grandma, a professor at [REDACTED] NYC university, asked what I do. “I look after Bitcoin investments for a New York investment manager.” “Oh, you work with Trump?” she says, turning up her button nose. “Bitcoin is for everyone, ma’am.” I give her the progressive case in under 90 seconds. For people living under corrupt institutions and double-digit inflation, Bitcoin is self-sovereignty. It turns stranded carbon into opportunity. Bitcoin runs on energy. Embracing it means embracing an abundance mindset and the electricity and growth that, since she was born, have lifted billions from poverty and helped drive the largest decline in child mortality in human history. She frowns. “I’m particularly concerned about the child mortality in Gaza.” A clumsy pivot. So I made one too, straight to my earphones 👋.

@IronRedSandHive Ro Khanna told me that we need more op-eds in New York Times explaining the progressive case for bitcoin. I tried crowdsourcing one but it wasn't a great attempt and I dont think they'd publish it under my name.
