using bitcoin is incredibly easy
you literally just download an app and press receive
anyone who tells you self custody is too difficult thinks you are retarded
Here's the thing about @mattkratter, it took him a long time to understand #Bitcoin. Just like it did for most of us who now call ourselves Bitcoin maximalists.
As far as I can tell, over the course of his understanding he went from ignoring Bitcoin, to trading it, to playing with shitcoins, and finally to becoming a toxic bitcoin maximalist.
You know what I haven't seen from him?
I haven't seen any sign of selling his name to a sponsor.
I haven't seen him use his position as a bitcoin maxi to promote a bitcoin affinity scam or layer 2 nonsense.
I haven't seen him grift his way into a bullshit position as a BiTcOiN AdViSoR at some second rate Bitcoin trashury company.
In other words, all I have seen from him is a steady, progressive, and irreversible understanding of Bitcoin as money, a refusal to budge from that stance, and a willingness to put his name and reputation on the line to keep Bitcoin the hardest money man will ever know.
The Bitcoin space would benefit from more bitcoiners like Matt.
Everybody wants to buy the dip until it's time to buy the dip.
You don't end up on the receiving end of the greatest wealth transfer in human history by believing what everyone already believes.
You get there through proof of work and conviction when everyone else doubts.
IMO, there is a reason @adam3us and @saylor invited @mattkratter to rub elbows with the high priests of Bitcoin.
They wanted to make sure he was going to toe the line.
They wanted to be able to put social pressure on him to ensure, when the time came, he was going to parrot the talking points just like every other captured influencer.
Fortunately for bitcoiners, Matt is made of stronger stuff.
There are few bitcoiners left in the entire bitcoin community which give high signal to noise ratio and one of them is @mattkratter.
Must watch clip about how bitcoin is (actively) being subverted into (inefficient) data storage from best money humanity has ever seen.
BIP110 IS THE LAST CHANCE TO STOP THIS SUBVERSION.
