I came from big commodity, rigid trading world of the CME but absolutely fell in love with BTC in 2011. Loved the concept but was concerned about the exchange side of things. The construct was beautiful, the idea resonated, but I always questioned storage and the off rails. Sure enough Mt Gox happened. Since that moment, like it or not to the maxies, I have a mix of ownership - wallet, ETFs, hell I even have some on PayPal by circumstance. It's not a vote, it's just risk management. Bitcoin has become my reason for being, but I understand it's still evolving. And 99% of the time I speak to normies about a wallet their eyes glaze over. This is a process, Bitcoin will win, but for general context to the group.

@scottmelker Not necessarily though you make a good point, bring some experiences global ag guys on your podcast who are also bitcoiners and we will happily have a broad spectrum conversation.

The use of the word "the" in front of "science" is antithetical to science.

Bitcoin and gold starting to feel a little jiggy

@BretWeinstein I will forever credit you for the use of the phrase "messenger RNA gene therapy" vs a vaccine. As a skeptic and someone who worked in RNA I should have known better how to have these debates. The use of that phrase stopped the credentialed class above me in their tracks.

Still think if there's a sovereign wild card for bitcoin it's Japan. Melting ice cube yen liquidity everywhere and a natural state of deflation with a decreasing population.

@MartyBent As a student in the Soviet Union in 1990 I went to a lot of government owned grocery stores. They were awesome.

[Marty Bent @MartyBent]

How long before there are limits to the amount of an individual good you can buy in these grocery stores?

There are no words for this. What a vile human. Make Aortas Great Again.

Prior to the depths of monetary inflation we find ourselves today, this mediocre shoe salesman could afford a house in suburban Chicago, a few beater cars, go on an occasional vacation, and raise two children.

[Mike Rohlfsen @MikeRohlfsen]

Regardless of this specific point one of the best comments you have ever made multiple times in various podcasts is when you have said US inability to impose their military will in Iran could be very good for us as a country. Couldn't agree more.

I have long believed that the longer the war goes on and the more the oil is cut off from the Gulf the better off the Iranians are.

@PeterMcCormack The word destroyed is often over used but not in this case

Lost my dad a month ago. One of the better moments in the recent past was getting a Cameo from @RicFlairNatrBoy. It not only was a great video by him, Ric absolutely nailed it, but also memorialized my hometown of Hutchinson Kansas. Woooo!

@zerohedge All for this. Grow your own stuff to the degree you can. If you don't have much space, figure a bit of it out. You will feel better, its spiritually rewarding, get out on the sun, sweat and get a little dirty.

@TFTC21 As measured by about 1987, my senior year in HS, to about 2005 I read the Economist front to back. I would not wipe my ass with it now

@CrimeWatchMpls I'm waiting for Walz, Ellison, Klobuchar, and and ocean of woke white women and their proxies to have a press conference on gun control in red t-shirts from the park tomorrow.
